Sewage Pollution

Proceeding contribution from Richard Foord (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 September 2022. It occurred during Urgent question on Sewage Pollution.

This summer, people visiting east Devon had their health put at risk by greedy water companies. Executives at South West Water have been paid £2.2 million in bonuses over the past two years. A sewage pollution alert has been issued today in Seaton, and last year South West Water discharged water for more than 1,100 hours across Beer and Seaton. How comfortable is the Secretary of State with the size of the bonuses that have already been paid to South West Water executives while that company has received from the Environment Agency a rock-bottom one-star rating?
