Importing steel because it's cheaper than UK production, yet on the other hand doing little to nothing to support a UK steel industry. Not to mention that purchasing British steel ensures that the money goes straight back into the UK economy.
Including taxes (paye and business), wages into local economy etc etc.
Incredibly shortsighted to state the funds allocated for redundancy and re-training will be of benefit - when the private sector are reluctant to invest or employ, in a recession hit economy, witness to the biggest trade deficit in UK history.
