Water Quality: Sewage Discharge

Proceeding contribution from Jim McMahon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 April 2023. It occurred during Opposition day on Water Quality: Sewage Discharge.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. The hon. Lady will know that her own constituency has had nearly 2,000 sewage dumps. If she wants to defend that record to her constituents, then so be it—fine. But if she does not want to remind her constituents, I can guarantee this: the Labour candidate will. That is what this debate is about and why Members are so exercised, let us be honest. Are Members exercised because our rivers, lakes and seas are being dumped on, or are they exercised because they have now realised that they might have to face the consequences of that dumping? That is what the excitement is about.
