Independent Water Commission

Debate between John Slinger and Steve Reed

Wednesday 23rd October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Steve Reed]

Yes, the impact of run-off from agriculture will be in the scope of the commission’s work.

[John Slinger (Rugby) (Lab)]

Does my right hon. Friend agree that, had the Conservative party put as much energy into protecting our rivers, lakes and seas as it has into filling its reservoirs of chutzpah, my constituents in Rugby would not be living with the consequences of ineffective regulation, undue profits and unearned bonuses, and that, as in so many areas, the Labour party is clearing up the mess that we inherited?

[Steve Reed]

The short answer to that is yes.
