Water: Hampshire

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has made an assessment of Southern Water’s progress against RAPID requirements at Gates 2 and 3, and what steps she is taking in response to repeated findings of outstanding actions and insufficient evidence.

Answer

The Hampshire Water Transfer Water Recycling project has successfully passed RAPID gate two and gate three.
