British Steel is taken into public ownership to save UK supply

The News

British Steel has been nationalized, with the government taking over the Scunthorpe steelworks from Chinese owner Jingye. The move comes 15 months after the government intervened to prevent closure and job losses of 4,000 workers. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated the takeover was in the national interest, following the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Act receiving Royal Assent. Compensation for Jingye will be assessed by a valuer.
