Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2026

Debate

Thames Water

Contribution

My Lords, when we eventually get to the point where we have a new regulator, what will be done to make sure it is not staffed by the people who already run Ofwat? One of the problems we have had in this whole debacle is that there is a very chummy relationship between people who are very senior in the same industry. How will the Government navigate that to make sure we do not just go back to the same old problems under a different management design?
