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 right hon. Lady might want to answer her own question. We commissioned the Walker report, which said that Ofwat should do a six-monthly league table of water companies showing the best and worst performers. She has had 18 months. Has she implemented the recommendations of the Walker report? She has made her own guidance to water companies on social tariffs voluntary, not mandatory, and I fail to see how allowing them to choose whether to implement them will help customers.
