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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what regulatory framework and funding options will help reduce rainwater from entering the foul sewer system in the Runnymede and Weybridge constituency.

The National Planning Policy Framework already requires sustainable drainage systems in all new developments. As part of wider reforms to the water sector, we will go further to enable pre-pipe solutions to reduce the volume of rainwater entering the sewerage network.
