Water Bill

Proceeding contribution from Owen Paterson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Water Bill.

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for giving way again. The fact is that the previous Government let Ofwat go to sleep. They did not have a proper regulator but we have a robust new regulator in Jonson Cox. Only last week he turned down a proposed price increase by Thames Water, which would have put 8% on bills. That is what a proper regulator does, backed by a proper Government who have a real interest in keeping bills down for our hard-working families.
