Labour — Norwich South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2025

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. First, I thank EFRA Ministers for the work they have done on this Bill, and for everything they have been doing in working on the consultation. It is quite clear to most of the public that not only is England’s privatised model of water failing, but it is an extreme ideological outlier. It is one of the worst for costs and results. [Interruption.] The hon. Member for Broadland and Fakenham (Jerome Mayhew) is chuntering away in his place. We need a long-term, patient approach, especially given the climate crisis, and that is fundamentally incompatible with privatisation.
