Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Flood and Water Management Bill.

Flood and Water Management Bill

I shall return to that issue in a moment. I believe that such powers exist—not in this Bill, but under existing water industry legislation. However, I shall seek some inspiration to recall the exact Act. I hope that the hon. Member for Cheltenham will accept my assurance that we are seriously minded to undertake an all-encompassing review of Ofwat. Rather than try to include or identify in the Bill some of the issues that might be needed on Ofwat, however, we should do such work properly, in the round, and look at how we meet all the different challenges.
