Labour calls for water companies to lose licence for environmental violations

The government has been accused of “tinkering at the edges” of the issues facing the water industry, by opposition MPs. Shadow environment minister Emma Hardy made the accusation while speaking at a Parliamentary debate on proposed amendments to the special administration regime (SAR) for water companies facing insolvency or failing to meet statutory duties. Changes, which have now been passed, include provisions that change how a water company can be structured in the case of administration to make the business more attractive to a potential buyer.
