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.

Obviously, the issue is devolved; the action we have taken is in respect of England and it is for the Welsh Government to tackle some of the challenges they have in their own area. The approach we have taken is essentially to require and allow unlimited fines against companies that breach their permit conditions. We are bringing record numbers of prosecutions and we believe that that is the right way to bring those water companies back into compliance.
