Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (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
The Bill is welcome, if a little unexpected. It is welcome because it provides assistance to the people hit hardest by the botched Tory privatisation of the water industry, which created a water company in the south-west with too few people to pay for the £2 billion investment needed to create the south-west's sewerage system over the following 20 years, with just 3% of the population clearing up 30% of the nation's coastline. It left them with the highest unmetered water bills of any region and the Bill seeks to provide some relief, a fact that we welcome.
