Sewage Pollution

Proceeding contribution from George Eustice (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 September 2022. It occurred during Urgent question on Sewage Pollution.

My hon. Friend raises an important point. As I have said, we are bringing a record number of investigations and prosecutions against water companies for potential breaches of their permit conditions. In

addition, in the River Fowey, there is also a challenge around agricultural diffuse pollution, which contributes to the issue for the mussel and oyster fishery in that particular part of the world. That is something that we are addressing through our new targets in the Environment Act 2021.
