Jonathan Reynolds, the business secretary, acknowledged shortcomings in the new deal for the steel industry, stating, 'this government has made more progress in two months than they made over the last parliament.' He emphasized the need for improvements in job guarantees and expressed his disappointment in past government actions.
Reynolds voiced his concerns about the closure of the last blast furnace, set for 28 September, confirming, 'despite the job losses, the deal provides hope for the future of steelmaking in south Wales.' He lamented the decisions made by Tata regarding costs and job retention, which he claimed had let down the community.
