The firm is in the final stages of talks with the government about securing a bailout.

Representatives of the Unite union are due to meet business secretary Greg Clark this morning to discuss the future of the company.

The union is urging British Steel owner Greybull Capital to find a solution.

A ministerial statement on assistance for the company was expected yesterday afternoon, but that didn't come.

However, it's thought ministers want to have the situation sorted out before the European elections on Thursday.
