Proceeding contribution from Lord McCabe (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill.


Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill

Does the Secretary of State accept that average water bills across the country are set to rise by almost 6% in April and that this Bill will do nothing to help the vast majority of people, who have seen their incomes cut or frozen? Why should water companies not have to tighten their belts like everybody else?
