Ministers overrule Trade Remedies Authority to defend sector against cheap imports, notably from China
The steel industry has welcomed the government’s extension of measures to defend the ailing sector from a flood of cheap imports.
Liz Truss, the international trade minister, said the government had overruled the Trade Remedies Authority, a public body that had said protectionist tariffs and quotas on 10 types of steel product should be maintained for three years, but lifted on nine others.
