Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill

The Department for Business and Trade is administering the Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act 2025, which grants the Secretary of State powers to issue directions to British Steel Ltd regarding operations, accounts filing, and restructuring. The legislation addresses the financial and operational crisis at British Steel and enables government intervention through ministerial directions. This is an active statutory regime with ongoing parliamentary scrutiny of ministerial actions.
