• Full story: British Steel announces job losses in Scunthorpe

Jonathan Reynolds MP, Labour's Shadow Business Secretary, is concerned by today's reports that British Steel will announce 300 job cuts in Scunthorpe.

Reynold says:

Yet more worrying news for our steelworkers who desperately need a Government on their side securing the bright future our steel sector could have.

Steel is the bedrock of many communities across the UK. It is the foundation our manufacturing sector is built on, crucial to any net zero ambition and the beating heart of our sovereign capability.

While 2022 was a year of unprecedented external challenges and volatility, for Danone it has also been a year of deep transformation and solid delivery.

I am grateful to all Danoners for their resilience and their passion for customers, consumers, patients and for making our company a stronger one.
