British Steel bosses were today urged to continue rescue talks with the Government amid plans to axe 800 hundred jobs.
Business Minister Nusrat Ghani told MPs a "generous package of support" was under discussion with the manufacturing company, amid fears of redundancies at its plant at Scunthorpe, Lincs.
Scunthorpe MP Holly Mumby-Croft said British Steel, owned by Chinese giant Jingye, should "immediately reconsider" the potential redundancies.
