Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill.


Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill

An issue not specific to this debate is ongoing financial assistance from the public purse for many years to come, often through an artificially created special purpose vehicle rather than a more straightforward process. Such vehicles, as the right hon. Gentleman rightly points out, are often driven by maximising profits, potentially by minimising tax and all other returns to the Treasury.
