Water Strategy

I ask the hon. Gentleman to imagine waking up tomorrow as Environment Minister in a Liberal Democrat Government. What would his party do? Would he do what he invites the Minister to do, and ask those of us in landlocked constituencies to pay for the clean-up in other parts of the country? Is that what he says a Liberal Democrat Government would do? With local elections coming up, it would be interesting to know the implications of a Liberal Democrat Government for water bills throughout the country.
