Finally, Amendment 81 in my name asks that any future review into the water industry, such as the one the Minister committed to at Second Reading, must consider the abolition of Ofwat, the potential of public benefit companies, and the establishment of a new regulator called the clean water authority. My reason for bringing forward this amendment was that I was fairly certain that the previous two amendments were unlikely to be successful. My hope was that this amendment might offer a possible compromise on a way forward.
