Chair, @liambyrnemp 💬

"I welcome this decision to block Ming Yang from the UK's energy system. Our economic security reviews have warned time and time again that over-reliance on China in strategic sectors leaves Britain exposed to coercion, disruption and unfair competition.

Chair of the Business and Trade Committee, Liam Byrne MP. Text that reads:

"The Government has blocked plans for a Chinese wind turbine maker to build a factory in Scotland, citing national security concerns.

We'll be questioning @RoyalMail’s new owner Daniel Křetínský about its performance as the UK’s universal postal operator.

We'll also hear from @Ofcom and Communications Workers Union representatives following the announcement of changes to the USO.

Committee Chair, @liambyrnemp , responds to the Government’s much-delayed steel strategy 👇

Chair of the Business and Trade Committee, Liam Byrne MP. A quote from the Chair that reads:

“I very much welcome the Government’s much-delayed steel strategy. It clears some of the tests we set. Trade defences are coming just in time, target markets are identified, and there is a plan to bring energy costs down."

A quote from the Chair that reads:

"But there are now some key issues in which ministers need to move faster, especially to drive down the cost of energy, and drive up the certainty of new orders.

Energy cost relief should be accelerated. Procurement rules must be tightened so British steel gets a fair shot at British contracts. And we need an immediate, operational plan to secure scrap supply.

Not another promise, but delivery."
