Coronavirus in Wales: Saturday's updates - BBC News
What's been happening on Saturday 25 April
Tata Steel needs about £500m of government support to get through the coronavirus pandemic, the MP for Aberavon Stephen Kinnock has said.

Sky News has reported Tata has approached the UK and Welsh Governments for the money after many customers halted production during the crisis.

Tata employs 8,385 people in the UK, including about 4,000 people in Port Talbot and 2,800 elsewhere in Wales.

The UK and Tata have been approached for comment.

A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We continue to have ongoing discussions with Tata Steel about what support it needs to sustain a strong steel-making presence in the UK and in Wales."

Mr Kinnock said: "The £50m cap on loans that are now available under the government support scheme is only about 10% of what Tata Steel actually needs."

He raised the matter in the House of Commons on Wednesday. Responding to him, First Secretary of State Dominic Raab said: "I know that the chancellor is looking carefully at the steel sector in the hon. gentleman's constituency, and at all those who are not directly benefitting from this particular scheme to ensure that in the round we are providing the measures that we need in a targeted way to support all the different crucial elements of the economy."
