Hopes Rising Prices May Save UK Steel Industry
Negotiations by the UK government to wrangle a deal with Tata are taking place in Mumbai to save Britain's steel industry.
Just a few weeks ago, the headlines were that the British steel industry was losing a million pounds a day - and its owner, Tata Group of India, was desperate to sell everything it owned in the UK.
Now the sale of the main Port Talbot plant in Wales is on hold - and Britain's business secretary, Sajid Javid, is back in India trying to cut a new deal with the Tata Steel board.
