Steve Reed comments on water bosses being told they can no longer monitor themselves on sewage

Steve Reed MP, Labour’s Shadow Environment Secretary, responding to water bosses being told they can no longer monitor themselves on sewage, said:

“Labour has long demanded the end of self-monitoring of sewage discharges, which allows water companies to cover up what’s really going on. It’s astonishing it’s taken the Government so long to act. 

“Now the Tories have started to follow where Labour lead, they must go further and adopt our plan to ban bonuses for the water bosses responsible for illegal sewage-dumping. If they do, they can count on our support.”
