UK government actively engaged in Liberty Steel talks, says PM Johnson

Britain's PM Johnson leaves Downing Street in London

LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday his government was actively engaged in dealing with British tycoon Sanjeev Gupta's Liberty Steel after a major financial backer went into administration.

"I share very much the anxiety of families of steel workers who work in Liberty Steel," Johnson told parliament. "We are actively engaged."
