The image includes two graphs illustrating UK steel industry data from 1970 to 2000. The first graph shows steel demand: total demand starts slightly above 400 million tonnes in 1970, hovers around 400 million tonnes through 1990, then slightly drops to approximately 320 million tonnes by 2000; UK production starts near 300 million tonnes in 1970, stays relatively constant through 1990, then declines to roughly 80 million tonnes by 2000; imports maintain a level of about 60 million tonnes from 1970 to 2000, ending near 40 million tonnes. The second graph depicts the number of staff: approximately 180,000 in 1970, dropping progressively to around 60,000 by 1980, further decreasing to roughly 30,000 by 1990, and eventually reaching close to 0 by 2000.

The two charts illustrate changes in steel demand, production, imports, and employment in the steel industry from 1970 to 2000.
Overall, both steel demand and production saw a steady decline over the period, as did the number of employees in the industry. In contrast, steel imports rose significantly.
In 1970, steel demand in the UK was approximately 200 million tonnes. This figure fell steadily over the next two decades, reaching around 100 million tonnes by 1990, after which it remained relatively stable. Steel production followed a similar downward trend, decreasing from over 150 million tonnes in 1970 to about 60 million tonnes by 2000.
Conversely, steel imports experienced a consistent rise. Starting at just 20 million tonnes in 1970, imports tripled to reach 60 million tonnes by the year 2000.
Employment in the steel sector also declined significantly during this period. The workforce numbered around 50,000 in 1970 but fell sharply in each subsequent decade, reaching just 18,000 by 2000.
