Minister: All options remain on the table over British Steel

Industry Minister Sarah Jones says the prime minister is “acting in the national interest” by recalling parliament on Saturday to create emergency legislation to grant government control of British Steel.

Both the Commons and the Lords will break from Easter recess for a highly unusual Saturday sitting to debate a Bill aimed at blocking the company's Chinese owners, Jingye, from closing blast furnaces at its Scunthorpe plant.
