The UK steel industry’s health must now be a priority for the government but the same is not evident from its actions.

Several other factors are on the disadvantageous side for the United Kingdom. Low demand of steel Taxes on carbon Rise of imported steel Loss of the steel markets Energy price levels on rising high What Is at stake? The UK steel industry employs a large number of skilled and unskilled workers in the United Kingdom. With the crippling UK steel industry, all such job positions are at stake.
