Water Companies: Sewage Discharge

Proceeding contribution from Luke Pollard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 November 2021. It occurred during Debate on Water Companies: Sewage Discharge.

Can the Minister square these two challenges? She has told us that it is going to cost us £660 billion, but also that if water companies spend £144 million now, that is sufficient to deal with it. Those are two very different extremes. Why is more not being spent now? How is such a paltry sum supposed to deal with a problem that just moments ago she said could cost £660 billion?
