British Steel employees express fears over future of Scunthorpe plant

  • A crucial meeting is set for Monday between British Steel staff and civil servants to discuss the future of the Scunthorpe plant after the government took control of the company on Saturday, inheriting a precarious situation.
  • The government must secure essential raw materials to keep the blast furnaces operational, as failure to do so will lead to cooling and potential damage.
  • Jingye, the Chinese owners of British Steel, stopped ordering raw materials and began selling existing supplies, raising concerns about immediate closure.
  • Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds stated that the government is prepared to lose money running British Steel and warned it lacks a guarantee for securing raw materials to keep the plant operational.
