Business of the House

Debate between Tom Rutland and Lindsay Hoyle

Thursday 12th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. A couple of Members are standing who came in very late. I will not be taking their questions.

[Tom Rutland (East Worthing and Shoreham) (Lab)]

Our creaking water infrastructure is rarely out of the news, and just this week my constituents in Shoreham had to endure burst sewage pipes. Thanks to years of under-investment by our water companies, record amounts of sewage are being pumped into our rivers and seas. Will the Government make time for this important issue to be discussed?
