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 improve biodiversity in coastal areas impacted by algae overgrowth.

In the most ambitious target on water pollution in history, we will halve sewage pollution by 2030.

We are restoring our waterways to good health so communities can once again take pride in their rivers, lakes and seas.

We are abolishing Ofwat and establishing a new, single, powerful regulator. We are ending the era of water companies marking their own homework by ending operator self-monitoring. And we are ensuring greater local involvement in planning decisions around water.
