Proceeding contribution from Alison Seabeck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Water and Sewerage Charges (South West Water).


Water and Sewerage Charges (South West Water)

I would like to reinforce the hon. Gentleman's point. Does he not agree that, with the current increase in water rates, we will see more pensioners, particularly in the area around Torbay and in my constituency of Plymouth Moor View, falling back down below the poverty line? The Government would not want to see that happen, but undoubtedly they will.
