What are your views on the future of the British steel industry?

A decision by Tata Steel to sell off or close their British steel works looks likely.

The company currently employs around 15,000 staff, many of which work at the plant in Port Talbot, which the company say is losing £1m a day.

We’d like to hear your views on the potential closure of another branch of British manufacturing. Will you or your family be affected? What, if anything, should governments do to intervene in cases like this? Is this a crisis that could have been averted, or simply the effect of globalised steel manufacture? Do you think the British steel industry would be more competitive if we were outside the EU?
