Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

The Government are in a race to achieve our 30 by 30 biodiversity targets. Regretfully, we see that the best option to move forward is to abolish Ofwat and replace it with a clean water authority. This new authority would have the necessary legal backing to achieve the outcome its name implies—ensuring that we have clean water. We must all work cross-party to ensure an urgent stop to the illegal sewage overflows and a return to a clean environment for our plants, animals, fish and reptiles.
