Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 November 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

The intention in the Bill is to ensure greater representation in company decision-making from consumers—from customers—but how that is put forward will also be reviewed. It will be considered as part of the consultation. I cannot remember which noble Lord mentioned the Explanatory Notes; was it the noble Lord, Lord Remnant, who was concerned about them? I will ensure that the officials take a look at that, because it is a perfectly good point. I hope that the noble Duke, the Duke of Wellington, can see that the Government are really serious about turning around environmental performance right across the water sector, and we will continue to press it very hard as we go through the review.
