Britain Takes British Steel Into Public Ownership to Save Scunthorpe
- The UK government has nationalized British Steel, taking the Scunthorpe plant, the country's last site able to make steel from raw materials, into public ownership.
- The move ends months of uncertainty over roughly 2,700 jobs and follows an emergency intervention last year to stop the blast furnaces going cold.
