Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner confirmed that the government has secured the raw materials needed to keep Scunthorpe steel plant going.
It comes as the government stepped in over the weekend to take it over from Chinese company Jingye after it threatened to shut down one of the furnaces today.
"We've got the raw materials, they've been paid for and we're confident that the furnaces will continue to fire," Ms Rayner said.
