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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to help improve water quality.

The Government has secured a record £104 billion of private sector investment that will fund the rebuilding and repair of broken sewage pipes so we can cut sewage pollution into our waterways. We are also reforming agriculture to drastically reduce run-off into rivers. Together with our radical reform of water regulation and the regulator, this Government has all the building blocks in place to clean up our rivers, lakes and seas for good.
