Dr Roz Savage

Liberal Democrat — South Cotswolds

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2026

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Act 2025: Enforcement

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for his impassioned speech on this very important subject. My constituents in the South Cotswolds will be deeply disappointed by this White Paper. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government need to get literally upstream of this question, and address the question of water company ownership? When we look to Europe, we see models such as mutual or public-benefit ownership working much more effectively. Does he also agree that the profit motive does not sit well with an essential public utility?
