The government says it is working to secure a 'sustainable and competitive' future for steel.

By Kevin ShoesmithSteelworkers from Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have joined a march to Parliament, demanding the government does more to support the industry.

British Steel Scunthorpe multi-union chair Paul McBean said ministers needed to match steel firms' investment. Mr McBean, who has worked in the steel sector since 1978, said: "We want the government to match-fund whatever the [steel] companies are willing to put in. That's what governments are doing all over Europe."He accused the government of "sitting back", which he said risked the collapse of UK steel manufacturing.

Chris Williamson, who works at Liberty Steel in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, which operates electric arc furnaces, said union members wanted "a level playing field" with the rest of Europe when it came to energy prices.
