Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill: Reasoned Amendment to Second Reading

Government Bill

What this vote was about

This was a reasoned amendment to the Second Reading of the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill, moved by Conservative Andrew Griffith, which sought to block the Bill from progressing. It argued that politicians should not run businesses, that the power to take companies into public ownership deters investment and exposes taxpayers to unlimited liabilities, and that the Bill's ministerial powers were drawn too widely. The Bill gives ministers power to bring steel companies into public ownership where it is in the public interest. MPs rejected the reasoned amendment, and the Bill went on to receive its Second Reading.
