“What discussions he has had with (a) the Scottish Government and (b) Cabinet colleagues on the effect of the delay to the Autumn Budget 2020 on the finances of the devolved Administrations.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Scotland
Answer from Hansard
The Prime Minister
The hon. Gentleman is right to remind us of what was a terrible scandal, and I will ask the Water Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice (Emma Hardy), to meet him and his constituents to discuss it. He and the public are right to be furious that companies are still polluting our seas, lakes and rivers. We have taken action by banning bonuses for bosses in six polluting companies, changing the law so that those who hide sewage spills can be locked up, and issuing almost £30 million in fines to clean up waterways. We are clearing up the mess that the party over there left, like everything else.
