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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to facilitate the transfer of water between regions in England to ensure adequate water supplies in areas experiencing increased water stress.

Water companies set out how they plan to continue to supply water to their customers through statutory Water Resources Management Plans (WRMPs) which include demand management and new water resources infrastructure, including transfers.

£104 billion of private sector investment has been secured which will fund essential infrastructure including large scale water transfers.
