Water White PaperContribution
For too long, the last Conservative Government turned a blind eye—perhaps that is why there is not a single Conservative Back-Bencher in the Chamber to discuss this issue. They neglected the needs of people and the environment. The result: a whole-system failure, companies profiting at customers’ expense, vital infrastructure left to crumble, record levels of pollution in our waterways and public trust destroyed. It is no wonder that none of them—we may have one or two—has turned up to sit on the Back Benches.
