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 noble friend is absolutely right. We currently review tariffs, and, as it stands, we are committed to reviewing them again at the end of the 12-month period. I state again that the quotas in place were informed by evidence and analysis of market conditions. Where steels products are not produced in sufficient quantities in the United Kingdom, mechanisms remain available to ensure that businesses can continue to access essential imports, while maintaining appropriate safeguards for the domestic industry.
