FMQs focus on Port Talbot steelmaking
Tata Steel in Port Talbot, as the last blast furnace at one of the biggest steelworks in the world shuts down, September 30, 2024

QUESTIONS to First Minister Eluned Morgan today centred on the impact on funding for Port Talbot’s steelmaking after the Westminster government saved British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant.

Plaid Cymru’s Luke Fletcher said that there was serious concern in Port Talbot about access to the Westminster government’s £2.5 billion steel fund. 

“In conversations with unions, they were very clear there’s still a bright future possible for the Port Talbot site. So, what conversations have you had with your UK government colleagues around ensuring that Port Talbot gets more than its fair share of that £2.5bn fund, now that those blast furnaces have been closed?” he asked.
