Alison Bennett

Liberal Democrat — Mid Sussex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 July 2025

Debate

State of Climate and Nature

Contribution

Hosepipe bans rightly anger my constituents. The bans frustrate them and me because they speak to decades of failure to put in place provisions to prepare so that the changing climate is liveable for our children. How can people be expected to support large-scale house building, which those same children will need, when water companies fail to fix leaks, pollute our rivers and too often fail even to provide clean drinking water?
