I wondered that, considering steel would be needed for HS2, Crossrail 3, a successor to trident and many other things if the Government would find enough business in it's own infrastructure projects? It may be cheaper to import steel but might not be cheaper once you factor in the cost of losing jobs.
That said they seem to be losing so much money at PT that it may be cheaper to buy steel elsewhere and pay off thousands of workers for life than keep it going. I don't really know.
