The British government is taking urgent measures to rescue British Steel amid fears of sabotage by its Chinese owners. James Murray, Treasury minister, confirmed that essential materials like coking coal and iron ore are available within the UK to support the Scunthorpe plant's operational blast furnaces. During a recent Sky News interview, when pressed for specific locations of these materials, Murray's responses sparked frustration from the interviewer, highlighting the urgency and difficulty of the situation as the government seeks to stabilize the steel industry.
The government dramatically took control of the company on Saturday, kicking off a frantic hunt for essential materials needed to keep the two blast furnaces operational.
Treasury minister James Murray confirmed the materials needed at the British Steel works were in the UK, but would not confirm their location.
