Tata Steel seeks 500 million pounds govt bailout in UK

India TV News  

Tata Steel's UK arm is seeking an estimated 500-million pounds government financial package to survive through the coronavirus lockdown period, according to UK media reports. Tata Steel, which owns the UK's largest steelworks in Port Talbot in Wales, is holding discussions with the Welsh government as well as the UK Treasury as it seeks the 50-million pounds cap set on loans being offered under the UK's Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme to be lifted. "We continue to have ongoing discussions with Tata Steel about what support it needs to sustain a strong steel making presence in the UK and in Wales," a Welsh government spokesperson said. "The 50 million pounds cap on loans that are now available under the government support scheme is only about 10 per cent of what Tata Steel actually needs," said Opposition Labour MP Stephen Kinnock, whose constituents make up much of the steel workforce in Port Talbot.
