The UK government is racing against time to keep the blast furnaces running at a British Steel plant they have now taken control of AFP Britain's government on Monday raced to secure raw materials to keep the country's last steelmaking blast furnaces running after passing emergency legislation to take control of British Steel. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government swooped in on Saturday to prevent the closure of British Steel's main plant in northern Scunthorpe after its Chinese owners Jingye halted orders of raw materials such as coking coal and iron ore. The Labour-run government must now secure the materials to keep the two blast furnaces at the plant -- the last in the UK which makes steel from scratch -- running.
