2 Jun 2024
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to proposals that could see financially stressed water companies receive fewer or no penalties for sewage pollution, Liberal Democrat Environment spokesperson Tim Farron MP said:
“Any attempt to let these polluting giants off the hook would be an utter disgrace.
“This plan is proof Ofwat should be scrapped. This Conservative government has allowed this toothless regulator to stagger on too long.
“It is time someone finally stood up to these water firms.”
