Water Strategy

I want to allow time to hear from the Minister. I hope that the hon. Lady will permit me to wind up. I note that the increases in water bills in Yorkshire and other places are substantial. I hope that the Minister will talk about sustainability, adaptation and moving towards smart metering, with block meters in the interim. In moving towards the price review, I hope that he will consider the impact of flooding on the whole sewerage and drainage system in parts of the country that were badly damaged, not least Yorkshire.
