Alun Cairns: 'We'll do everything' to help Tata

The UK government will do "anything and everything possible" to get Tata out of its difficulties with its giant steelworks in Port Talbot, Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns has said.

An action plan to save the plant is being discussed by owners Tata Steel in India.

Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock has joined Community union officials in Mumbai to lobby the board, amid worries the plant could be mothballed.

In January, the plan to cut 1,000 jobs - 750 at Port Talbot - was announced.

The company blamed "extremely difficult market conditions" due to falling European prices caused by cheap imports, particularly from China.

Mr Cairns - the son of a Port Talbot steelworker - said action had already been taken but the government would look at doing anything else possible to save jobs.
