00:00Hi, welcome to see you.
00:04Good to see you.
00:09Thank you very much.
00:09Great job, very nice to see you.
00:12Hi, thank you a lot.
00:14Hiya.
00:15There you go, sir.
00:17You're good, Eric.
00:18Nice to see you.
00:19Hiya.
00:20Nice to meet you.
00:22I'll just, um,
00:23firstly, just thanks very much for giving up a bit of time this morning to talk to me.
00:27I'd want to talk to you about what's happening at Scunthorpe.
00:29The Future of Steel, and we've been really pleased that this emergency legislation is
00:34going through Parliament now with the backbone of British Steel.
00:38And it's really important that we recognise that.
00:41And I felt it was very important today, having been in Parliament this morning, to come straight
00:45up here to see you face-to-face, to have that discussion, living and breathing, which is
00:50your jobs, your lives, your communities, your families, the Future of Steel in this country.
00:55So I'm really pleased that we've been able to roll up our sleeves.
00:57It was pretty, um, unprecedented when the, when the Speaker said, you know, okay, it's
01:02a recall in Parliament.
01:03When do you want to recall?
01:04I said, tomorrow morning.
01:06I remember that one.
01:07When I was in Scunthorpe talking to you, I could see that one.
01:11There was a determination from, um, both the workforce and the management to actually
01:15get, um, keep the glass furnaces going, get this over the line, get that arc, um,
01:20the entryguard furnace in and secure the future.
