Commenting on the news that the UK Government and Tata Steel have agreed terms for the Conservative UK Government’s £500m package of support, Welsh Conservative Shadow Economy and Energy Minister, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“The Labour UK Government has been disingenuous with their promises to the people of Wales and fallen short with their new offer, putting steelworker jobs at risk.
“Unfortunately, there is no new money yet allocated by the Labour Government that promised much more during the election campaign.
“The new terms also risk future job losses by threatening the withdrawal of this vital support package agreed by the Conservative Government. This is wrong. The priority should always be protecting the livelihoods and the futures of our steel communities.”
