Parliament will be recalled on Saturday to debate draft legislation giving the Government “the power to direct steel companies in England” to protect British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant, Downing Street has said.

Both the Commons and the Lords will return for the rare Saturday sitting to debate a law aimed at securing the future of British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant in North Lincolnshire.
