Ofwat: Strategic Priorities

Proceeding contribution from Ruth Cadbury (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 June 2022. It occurred during Backbench debate on Ofwat: Strategic Priorities.

The Minister is right about the scourge of wet wipes: they are plastic and they cause damage to ecosystems in our rivers and seas. Thames Water tells me that one of the costs to water companies is caused by the wet wipes in many of the sewers in our cities and towns combining with the fat illegally discharged into the sewerage system to create fatbergs. What is the Minister doing to stop the discharge of oil into our sewerage systems, such as incentivising caterers?
