Virgin steel-making involves iron being extracted from its original source to be purified and treated to make all types of steel used in major construction projects, such as new buildings and railways.The materials have been paid for by the government, which industry minister Sarah Jones said are covered by existing budgets."We have a £2.5bn fund for steel within the department for business so we won't be drawing down on any extra resources and people can be reassured of that," she told the BBC's Today programme.

Anti-pollutions measures in a city centre have been lifted after 20 years following improvements in air quality.Three air quality management areas (AQMAs) covering Gloucester's Barton Street, Priory Road and Painswick Road have now been revoked thanks to a fall in harmful emissions.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which oversees air quality, says the measures should be removed once no longer needed.Councillor Sebastian Field, cabinet member for the environment at Gloucester City Council, welcomed the "great news", but said the authority would "be keeping a close eye on air quality across the city".
