Water bills: High time Ofwat were replaced
Responding to comments from water firms that despite rising bills for consumers, companies claim this isn’t enough to stop sewage spills, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron MP said:
It’s an absolute outrage that British families face sky high bills that continue to rise, whilst water firm CEOs pocket millions of pounds in bonuses, and all the while filthy sewage continues to destroy our seas and rivers.
It’s clear to see that the current regulator Ofwat is not fit for purpose, and it’s high time they were replaced. That is why the Liberal Democrats have been calling for a new regulator to crack down on water companies and hold them accountable to end this sewage scandal once and for all.
UK-Germany treaty: A positive step forward
Responding to UK-Germany treaty talks, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Layla Moran MP said:
This is a positive step forward after years of the Conservatives trashing the UK’s relationship with Europe.
But the new Government needs to be more ambitious about rebuilding stronger ties with our European allies.
That should start with agreeing a Youth Mobility Scheme giving young people the opportunity to easily live and work across the continent.
