Proceeding contribution from Lord Leong (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 July 2026. It occurred during Private notice question on Category 4 Steel Imports: Tariff-free Quotas.
Category 4 Steel Imports: Tariff-free Quotas
My Lords, I will just say to the noble Lord that it was a pretty good try. First, there has been no change to India’s category 4 quota compared to the provisional quota published in April 2026. We did not negotiate quotas with any countries apart from our agreed outcome with the EU. We have been engaging with India on steel, as we have all our trading partners. Overall, quotas reflect the need to balance stronger protection for UK producers with continued access to critical inputs for downstream sectors and critical national infrastructure.
