Edward Morello

Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2024

Debate

Water Companies: Regulation and Financial Stability

Contribution

To my hon. Friend’s point about the need for a regulator with teeth, West Dorset saw 45,000 hours of sewage released into our rivers and beaches last year. The River Lim last year was declared “ecologically dead”. Does my hon. Friend have a view on whether the regulator should be able to impose fines on the water companies that reflect the damage they are doing to our natural environment?
