Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

We recognise the Government’s decision to present the Bill now and hold out the hope of more radical change later in the Parliament, following the recommendations of Sir Jon Cunliffe’s review. We confess, however, to suffering from extreme raised eyebrow syndrome today, as it has been revealed that a former Thames Water executive has been appointed to Sir Jon’s independent water commission. That does not fill us with enormous confidence.
