Ofwat fines: A game of catch up after Conservative Ministers turned a blind

16 Aug 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate release

Responding to Ofwat imposing a £168m fine on Thames Water, Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water, Liberal DemocratEnvironment spokesperson Tim Farron MP said: 

"After years of inaction and failure under the last Conservative government, it is welcome to see the regulator finally impose proper fines.

"This should only be the start if these polluting firms are to clean up their act. 

"We now need a ban on bonuses and an end to bumper profits on the industry.

"Sadly this is all a game of catch up after Conservative Ministers turned a blind eye to this environmental scandal."
