More details to follow. Business Secretary Sajid Javid chaired a steel summit involving unions, business leaders and ministers in Rotherham on Friday that was organised following the SSI closure.
Unions want the government to take "urgent short-term action" to support the industry.
Unite assistant general secretary Tony Burke said the steel industry was at crisis point.
"Ministers need to start by keeping the coke ovens at Redcar burning and supporting the wider steel industry through these turbulent times, so that British industry can benefit from major infrastructure projects, such as HS2," he said.
