Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

We welcome the review and we of course recognise that sewage discharges and water companies are only part of the pollution and environmental damage to our freshwater streams, rivers and lakes. Pollution from farming, surface water run-off and particulate matter from our highways are also key sources of water pollution. In short, a wider review is also needed to address these wider issues.
