The debate comes after 100,000 signatures added to a petition in support of British pottery.
GMB Union, representing workers in the ceramics industry, has today issued a fresh call to support the UK ceramics sector.
The news comes as MPs prepare to debate the future of the industry in Parliament today.
The debate has been triggered after 100,000 signatures were added to a petition to support the industry in the face of spiraling energy costs.
Chris Hoofe, GMB Organiser, said:
"This debate is a historic opportunity to set out just how vital UK ceramics are.
"We have seen this year that the Government get it and are stepping up their support for the sector.
"Now is the time to be bold on British industry; that is why we are calling for ceramics to be included in the Government's energy intensive relief framework, known as the Supercharger.
"But now is also the time to buy British and ensure that Government bodies, embassies and institutions are using British made cups, plates and bathroom products.
"That is why today we are calling on MPs to support changes to procurement rules to ensure we always prioritise British industry."
