Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 February 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords].


Water (Special Measures) Bill [Lords]

Ofwat has said that it believes that the right level of debt should be 60%, yet it has taken no action against those companies whose level of debt has risen to as much as 80%. Can the Minister assure us that under the Bill, Ofwat will not only have the power to act when companies’ debt levels are too high, but will use it?
