Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 November 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

While Ofwat, as the independent regulator, should be responsible for determining metrics for bonus bans, it is reassuring to see that pollution incidents—which would include sewage spills—are already Ofwat’s preferred environmental metric. I would like to be clear with all noble Lords that we are not asking companies to meet any higher or new standard than that which is already expected of them.
