Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she plans to continue the £50 payment to South West Water customers for each year of this Parliament.
We have committed to extend the rebate of £50 for South West Water’s customers until 31 March 2021.
It is important that the Government reviews the future of the subsidy beyond 2020-2021. This will allow us to take account of the 2019 Price Review and ensure that its continuation is appropriate.
