Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (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)

Given the severe squeeze on family incomes, would it not have been better for South West Water to have delayed some of that expensive investment and to have frozen the rise? The Minister seems to be giving the impression that the Government do not bear any responsibility for inflation, but it is, of course, his Government who have let inflation rip.
