Water Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitty (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Water Bill.

I am not sure whether the leave of the House is divisible business. With the leave of the House, I will explain to the noble Baroness, Lady Byford, that the sustainable development duty under the current Ofwat remit is a secondary duty. For several other regulators, including Ofgem, it is now a primary duty. That is what my amendment seeks, and it would cover social, environmental and economic matters, not simply resilience and water efficiency.
