The steelmaker is seeking government support to help switch away from coal-fired blast furnaces.

These tests found the outlook for the UK business would be "adversely impacted", but it added it was continuing to "implement various measures aimed at improving its business performance and conserving cash".

A decision on support is needed soon, as the life of Tata's blast furnaces are coming to an end and electric arc furnaces take between four and five years to build.Last month, Tata Steel UK told the Welsh Parliament that it wanted a "level playing field" with its European rivals to help it switch away from coal.
