Liberal Democrat — South Cotswolds

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 September 2026

Debate

Water Sector: Public Ownership

Contribution

I absolutely agree—much like our water supply, these arrangements need to be more transparent and stink less. Ministers have been talking about the forthcoming £104 billion investment programme as though the private sector has suddenly reached into its pockets and found that £104 billion to rescue our crumbling water infrastructure, but it has not. Ofwat has confirmed that that money will come through a mixture of customer bills and yet more borrowing and shareholder equity.
