Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2026

Debate

Thames Water

Contribution

I can see where the noble Baroness is coming from. The difficulty is that if a company continues to pollute regularly and other water companies are being fined, where is the fairness and logic in letting one company off the hook because it has got itself into a worse mess? These are difficult, complex areas to get right. It is very much Ofwat’s decision, and I am sure the Government will continue to discuss such matters with it.
