The original water regulator, Sir Ian Byatt, was joined by today’s regulator, Ofwat chairman Jonson Cox; Lord Moynihan, the minister responsible for seeing the privatisation through Parliament, now returning to the sector on the Lords committee for the Water Bill; and Wessex Water’s executive chairman Colin Skellett, who has been running the company since privatisation.
