Barry Gardiner MP,
Shadow International Trade Secretary, responding to concerns from the steel industry over the
government’s Trade Bill, said:
“There is a real
danger that our steel industry could be fatally compromised if the government
fails to deal with unfair trading practices by other countries. Proper
structures must be put in place as our exit from the European Union is
planned.
"Labour is
committed to a robust and comprehensive trade remedies regime that will ensure
we can defend British manufacturing jobs from unfair competition.
"We understand
the fears expressed by industry and trade unions at the prospect of job losses
in such an important sector. A Labour government would act. This government
must not stand idly by.”
