The owner of the Port Talbot steelworks is preparing to mount a defence of its decision to cut thousands of jobs at the south Wales plant, and float the possibility of creating more UK jobs in future, during testimony to MPs this week.
The Indian conglomerate Tata confirmed this month that it planned to close two blast furnaces at Port Talbot – shedding up to 2,800 jobs, with a further 300 potential redundancies at another site, in Llanwern.
