Debate

Water Companies

Contribution

I thank my good friend, my hon. Friend the Member for Norwich South (Clive Lewis), for all his work on this issue to protect the environment and customers. My local supplier is United Utilities and I receive vast amounts of correspondence about its poor performance. To provide a couple of stats, 50.6 litres of water are lost per day per person in the United Utilities network through water leaks, which is the second highest after Thames Water, and in the past five years the average annual water bill for United Utilities customers has gone up approximately 51.6%, while private shareholders in the water industry tend to be doing quite well for themselves. May I urge the Minister to support public ownership of the water industry?
