Raw materials for Scunthorpe plant 'paid for' in race against time to avert shutdown
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner says she’s “confident” the British Steel blast furnaces in Scunthorpe will continue running, as the raw materials needed to do so “have been paid for”.
Ministers rushed through an emergency bill on Saturday to take over the facility after talks with Chinese owners Jingye broke down, and concerns they would allow the blast furnaces in to go out, effectively ending steel production in the UK.
