Government ignores the minerals it needs – again, says MPA

Mineral Products Association disappointed that new Land Use Framework overlooks mineral extraction
www.agg-net.com www.agg-net.com

" The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has today (18 March) published a new Land Use Framework that takes no account of minerals that are essential for construction and manufacturing.
This is despite the Government’s pledges to deliver 1.5 million new homes and an ambitious infrastructure pipeline that will rely on millions of tonnes of domestically produced aggregates that come from the ground. "

Steel tariffs will increase costs, contractors warn

Steelwork contractors says that the government’s much heralded strategy to support the steel industry will backfire in the construction industry.
www.theconstructionindex.co.uk www.theconstructionindex.co.uk

" From 1st July 2026, overall quota levels for steel imports will be significantly reduced by 60% compared to current arrangements, and steel coming into the UK above these levels will be subject to a 50% tariff. " :oops:o_O:censored:

" “With this strategy we are closing the decades-long chapter of destructive de-industrialisation and committing instead to strengthening and sustaining Britain as a steel-making nation,” Kyle said. " too little, waaay too late :mad: nothing left to strengthen
