It is clear from today’s comments that the Government are set to abandon more than 2,000 steelworkers in Scunthorpe, just as they abandoned over 3,000 on Teesside eight years ago. That said, I too welcome the news of a new arc furnace for Redcar, but let me give the Minister yet another chance to answer the question from Holly Mumby-Croft and others: are the Government really going to settle for recycled steel and foreign imports, and consign virgin steelmaking in the UK to history?
