Save British Steel, renationalise our steel industry.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Steel making is of national importance and the bedrock of our national defence. If we do not make our own steel we are reliant on foreign imports to make items such as ships for our Royal Navy. We can’t let our steel industry disappear. Bring British Steel back under public ownership.
