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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to help reduce water bills in Bexleyheath and Crayford constituency.

This month, the Government announced the biggest reform of WaterSure in nearly 30 years, reducing bills for around 300,000 low‑income households. Eligibility will expand to those on disability benefits, with fairer bill caps and simpler applications. Most existing users will save more, with extra support for single‑person households.

We will continue to take action to ensure the most vulnerable are protected from rising bills, and are working with water companies to ensure social tariffs are more consistent and taken up by those most in need.
