UK Steel Industry

Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Steel Industry.

Indeed; my hon. Friend makes a wise point. I commend the Government for their high-level negotiations at COP21 in Paris—tremendous. The UK led the high-level coalition of ambition. The EU led as well, and yet we could end up in a situation in which we are not only offshoring jobs, but offshoring them to countries that do not have the same standards of energy efficiency that we have at Tata Steel in Port Talbot and throughout the UK. It is in the interests of the climate to keep those jobs here in this country.
