Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 September 2024. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Port Talbot Transition Project.
Port Talbot Transition Project
I thank the Secretary of State very much for his statement, and I welcome his endeavours, which I think we all recognise, to create
firm foundations for the sector as it moves forward. I also recognise his commitment to Harland & Wolff, to which he referred. That is indeed great news, not just for workers but for the construction sector in Northern Ireland. However, the steel industry faces the problem of affordable energy, which he mentioned in his introduction. Will he safeguard the long-term sustainability of that and other industries by immediately addressing the energy price crisis and implementing the necessary long-term green energy fixes?
