Proceeding contribution from Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2026. It occurred during Debate on Independent Water Commission: Final Report.
Independent Water Commission: Final Report
If people in Torbay check the Surfers Against Sewage app today as I did, they will see that eight sites are monitored where there could be overflows of sewage. Six overflows have occurred so far this year at six of those sites, with two ongoing. We have also suffered a cryptosporidium outbreak in the past 18 months. Does my hon. Friend agree that we need to stop tinkering with the system and have systemic reform to tackle such challenges?
