The House of Lords has also been recalled, raising the prospect of emergency legislation moving through all required stages in a short space of time.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for No. 10 Downing Street said Friday afternoon said the government would \u201calways act in the national interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow Parliament will be recalled to debate the Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill,\u201d the spokesperson added. \u201cThe Bill provides the government with the power to direct steel companies in England, which we will use to protect the Scunthorpe site.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt enables the U.K. government to preserve capability and ensure public safety. It also ensures all options remain viable for the future of the plant and the livelihoods it supports.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been negotiating with British Steel\u2019s owners in good faith ever since coming to office. We have always been clear there is a bright future for steel in the U.K. All options remain on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
The proposals would give government the power to keep the blast furnaces on and order raw materials as negotiations continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The House of Lords has also been recalled, raising the prospect of emergency legislation moving through all required…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,5111,8106,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-11830","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-northern-ireland","13":"tag-parliament","14":"tag-raw-materials","15":"tag-scotland","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114321363095932929","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
