UK races against time to keep steel furnaces burning
Cape Argus
|April 15, 2025
BRITAIN'S government yesterday raced to secure raw materials to keep the country's last steelmaking blast furnaces running after passing emergency legislation to take control of British Steel.
-
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government swooped in at the weekend to prevent the closure of British Steel's main plant in northern Scunthorpe after its Chinese owners Jingye halted orders of raw materials such as coking coal and iron ore.
The Labour-run government must now secure the materials to keep the two blast furnaces at the plant - the last in the UK which makes steel from scratch running.
Government minister James Murray said officials were at the site yesterday.
"Their role is to make sure we do everything we can to... get those raw materials to the blast furnaces in time and to make sure they continue operating," Murray said.
