§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the prospects for the steel industry in Wales; and if he will make a statement. [116232]
§ Mr. Paul MurphyI am extremely optimistic about the future of the Welsh steel industry, particularly in light of the substantial restructuring the UK steel industry has undergone making it among the most efficient and cleanest in the world.
