This is The Guardian.
Today, why the government has decided to save British steel.
We meet under exceptional circumstances to take exceptional action in what are exceptional times.
MPs were supposed to be on their Easter holidays this Saturday when they were recalled to parliament for an emergency sitting.
As we seek to pass emergency legislation that is unequivocally in our national interest.
Jonathan Reynolds, the business secretary, introduced a bill to save British steel's plant in Skullthorpe,
the last remaining maker of mass-produced virgin steel in England.
Jasper Jolly, a financial correspondent at The Guardian, was listening into the historic sitting.
I think it shows the severity of the situation or how seriously the government was taking it.
Parliament's only been recalled for a Saturday sitting six times
since the end of the Second World War and the last time was the Folklones War.
As MPs debated in Westminster, 170 miles north in Skullthorpe, tensions were building.
Meanwhile in Skullthorpe there were parades in the town,
there was a parade on the pitch at Skullthorpe United's home game that Saturday, but at the plant there was also drama.
From what we understand, Jingye officials, so officials from the owners of the plant,
turned up at the plant and as far as we know they were denied entry and police were actually called.
All in all, it was a very dramatic Saturday.
This really is the most power that the government has had over the steel industry since 1988,
which was when Margaret Thatcher privatised it.
It's a really remarkable moment.
