Statement On British Steel – Parliament Recalled

Community April 11, 2025
Responding to the announcement that Parliament will be recalled tomorrow for discussions on the situation at British Steel, Roy Rickhuss CBE, General Secretary of steelworkers’ union Community, said:

“We welcome this decision to recall parliament – it is in the national interest that a solution is found to secure a future for British Steel as a vital strategic business. We can’t allow Britain to become the only G7 country without primary steelmaking capacity.

“In the absence of a deal with Jingye to continue blast furnace operations at Scunthorpe as part of  a transition to greener steelmaking, it is essential that we see urgent action taken to bring British Steel into public ownership.”

Join the union for steelworkers

Community is the steelworkers’ union. More steelworkers are members of Community than any other union. At Community, we are committed to fighting for a just transition that sees steelworkers and the UK steel industry thrive.
