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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will require water companies to re-evaluate wastewater management plans in the context of increased housing targets.

The Government secured a record £104 billion of private investment into the water sector that will provide infrastructure including 9 new reservoirs and waste water treatment works across the country. This will support the building of 1.5 million new homes and new businesses including data centres and giga factories that will power economic growth, new jobs and higher wages. Our new Water Delivery Taskforce will ensure this vital infrastructure is delivered on schedule.
