Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will take steps with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on additional ringfenced funding for the roll-out of water saving technologies.

There are no plans for additional ringfenced funding for the roll-out of water saving technologies. Some water companies are already funding water saving measures for their customers and we continue to work towards delivering the Written Ministerial Statement on reducing demand for water, including introducing a water efficiency label.
