Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 July 2025
Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
It cuts to the very core of what we are debating in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. As we were discussing on a previous day, we know that too many infrastructure projects are held back in this country by external forces. These are well known, but, for the water sector, I throw in the additional factor of the uncertainty over whether the regulator will authorise the investments. It is great to see the final version of the Cunliffe review, which was published earlier this week, and the changes that could be coming Ofwat’s way as a result.
