UK parliament approves emergency law to save British Steel plant as owners blocked from Scunthorpe facility

ai generated text

The British government has passed emergency legislation to keep the Scunthorpe plant of British Steel open. The bill was debated and passed in a single day without opposition in both the Commons and Lords, with the TUC welcoming the move as "the right thing to do". The legislation gives Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds the power to direct the company's board and workforce, ensure the 3,000 workers get paid, and order the company to keep the blast furnaces operational.

    1. We could not, will not and never will stand idly by while heat seeps from the UK's remaining blast furnaces without any planning, any due process or any respect for the consequences, and that is why I needed colleagues here today.

    Labour Party
    1. You are the people who have kept this going. You and your colleagues for years have been the backbone of British Steel, and it's really important that we recognise that.

    3. The most important thing is we've got control of the site, we can make the decisions about what happens, and that means that those blast furnaces will stay on.
