UK Steel Industry

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

The hon. Gentleman mentioned the important issue of the power plant at Port Talbot, which has a green light for its planning. I understand that construction of the plant and its operation would save between £25 million and £30 million a year on energy bills for the Port Talbot plant, so it would be a huge saving and a great boost to the plant. Does he agree that it would be welcome if the UK Government and the Welsh Government came together in a dialogue, pooled resources and gave some support to Tata Steel, both financial and in kind, to facilitate construction of that plant?
