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
