Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)
The noble Lord makes an important point. We are very concerned about regulation over the past few years, which is why we are shortly starting our review into the water industry, which will also look at regulation, Ofwat and the Environment Agency, and whether that is the appropriate way to move forward.
Lord Sahota (Lab)
My Lords, I welcome the fact that the Government not only are taking immediate legislative steps to improve the water sector’s performance but have launched the biggest review of the sector’s operation since it was privatised.
Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)
I thank my noble friend for those supportive comments.
