Proceeding contribution from Steve Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 December 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords ].
Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords ]
I agree that it is indeed amazing. I know that all of us on the Labour Benches, and perhaps on the Opposition Benches too, share the public’s anger at what happened to our rivers, lakes and seas.
The legacy of 14 years of Conservative Government is the highest level of sewage spills on record, economic growth held back by a lack of water supplies, and now potentially painful bill rises to fix the problems they left behind.
