Re:
It's a question of preserving a seed corn element of industrial basing; like Defence equipment. It's probably cheaper to buy this equipment from our close allies rather than develop and build ourselves - but we don't owing to the requirement to maintain the capability for the future (amongst other motives).
I must admit, I've not heard a 'buzz' that nationalisation was on the cards, gov't sweetener for someone else to take it on perhaps but full nationalisation seems a bit last century!

Re:
Seems to me like the government want to lose this industry from what I can gather. Would there be no way back if it happened.
They don't sound interested in nationalizing the industry, block EU plans to put big tarrifs on cheap Chinese steel, and strengthening trade links with the Chinese.
Is it possible we will have absolutely no Industry in years to come, relying on other countries to supply us . And not stiff us in the process?

saw the news after, they dont seem too bothered, a lot of bollocks from opposition cabinets about who should etc. tough call imho, were damned if we do and damned if we dont. the smaller companies appear to be doing okay and they specialise in steel areas, such like sheffields etc, if the plants werent too big and old it would probobly be more of a viable investment
shame i cant buy part of scunny and start to make boutique and mass produced affordable cycles
