Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 November 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Our concern about the proposed new clause is that it would create significant uncertainty in the water sector and reduce the willingness of investors to remain in the sector if companies could lose their licence with only six months’ notice. This could deter investment at a time when investment is more needed than ever to deliver the changes that we want to see in the sector.
