英国钢铁公司自7月被收归国有以维持国内钢铁生产,但其运营成本迅速攀升引发严重关切。1该公司目前每天耗资130万英镑运营,根据政府估算,到2028年累计成本将达15亿英镑。1截至今年6月中旬,政府已为该公司投入5.55亿英镑。1
议会公共账户委员会对政府的财务安排提出尖锐质疑。1委员会副主席克利夫·贝茨表示"英国钢铁公司无法自给自足",1并指责政府无法清晰阐明任何可持续的商业模式或最终成本预测,要求政府公布详细计划。1该公司在斯肯索普工厂拥有4000名员工,专业钢铁英国分部另有1300名员工。1
国有化决议同时激化了英中关系。1前所有者景叶公司声称英国政府欠其近10亿英镑赔偿。1
British Steel was brought into state ownership in July to preserve steel production in the country, but the operation now costs 1.3 million pounds per day, with projected expenditures reaching 1.5 billion pounds by 2028.1 The government has already spent 555 million pounds on the company as of mid-June.1 The company operates two major facilities: the Scunthorpe plant with 4,000 employees and Speciality Steel UK with 1,300 workers.1
The Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee has criticized the government for failing to articulate a sustainable business model or disclose the final cost of the intervention.1 Clive Betts, the committee's vice chair, stated that "British Steel cannot be self-sustaining,"1 while Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds countered that "the government does not intervene lightly in private enterprise."1 The committee is demanding the publication of a detailed plan to address the company's long-term viability.
The nationalization has heightened tensions with China, as the company's former owner Jingye contends that Britain owes it nearly 1 billion pounds in compensation.1
