LONDON: The UK business secretary has called for an emergency EU meeting to discuss the crisis in the steel industry.
Sajid Javid, who will meet European commissioners on Wednesday to discuss the sector, has been contacting member states on the need for urgent action.
The move comes as steel workers prepare to lobby MPs after thousands of jobs were lost at plants in recent weeks.
The industry blames cheap Chinese imports and high energy costs for the collapse in steel prices.
