Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

The noble Duke, the Duke of Wellington, expressed concerns that I had raised in a meeting that I was fortunate to have with the Minister and her Bill team. In two groups’ time, I will look again at the issue of whether we need a definition. It may be known to those steeped in the practice of consents and licences to water companies, but it would be really helpful to understand, perhaps in the Bill, the definition of emergency overflows.
