Closed petition Petition For Government to Save British Steel Industry And Subsidise Costs

Closed on 3 August 2016

Steel companies in other EU countries have been bailed out by their respective governments in order to save the industry , such as Italy. More than two thousand jobs have been lost in the last two years in this sector. Remember the mining industry ? It happened like this. History repeating itself.

China is flooding the market with cheap steel. Cut off the demand and you cut off the supply. If the Government can waste £84bn on bankers who still got their bonuses, who still live unaffected lives then they can help these communities who will be decimated. Port Talbot Steel works losing £1million per week and we waste £20 million teaching people to speak English from abroad. Let's prioritise. Three new aircraft carriers being built . Where is the material coming from ? Its not the UK !
