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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what lessons her Department has identified from the financial structure and performance of Welsh Water that could be applied to the regulation of water companies in England.

Water is a devolved area, and Welsh Water’s performance is a matter for the Welsh Government.

Water company performance is assessed and reported on annually in reports from Ofwat, the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and the Drinking Water Inspectorate.
