Within weeks of coming into office, this Government asked Sir Jon Cunliffe to lead an Independent Water Commission. Sir Jon met over 150 stakeholders, including environmental groups, investors, Members of both Houses, and local communities. His call for evidence received more than 50,000 responses—there is much more interest from people out there than from the Conservative Party. I thank Sir Jon and all those who contributed, including right honourable and honourable Members. The White Paper sets out our response to his recommendations.
