Recommendation
Decisive action should be taken to ensure that UK steel producers do not miss out on the Government’s ambitious infrastructure programme. Setting minimum UK steel content targets for major public projects would serve as an important first step to improving opportunities for UK steel producers. The Government should introduce minimum UK steel content targets for major public projects, starting with High Speed 2. (Paragraph 151) Trade
Government Response Summary
The government's response is boilerplate text about BEIS and the British Business Bank, failing to address the recommendation to introduce minimum UK steel content targets for major public projects.
