Ofwat CEO jumping before ship sinks

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to news that Ofwat's CEO will resign at the end of the month, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron MP said: 

“Captains usually go down with their ship, but in the wake of Ofwat’s abolishment, David Black has chosen to jump.

“With David Black at the helm, Ofwat has recklessly allowed profiteering water companies to spoil our precious waterways for far too long.

“When Ofwat is finally scrapped, the Government must create a new, effective regulator with a spine that will commit to finally stopping the sewage scandal once and for all.”
