Ministers will introduce a crackdown on water companies through the introduction of a new Water Bill, in a major victory for i’s Save Britain’s Rivers campaign.

The Water (Special Measures) Bill will bring in tougher fines and sanctions for water companies responsible for sewage spills, the King confirmed today, as he set out the Government’s legislative plans for the next year.

It will include “severe and automatic” fines for polluting water companies and powers to pursue personal criminal liability charges against executives.

    Makes sense. But blaming a gov that just took over. Rather then the tories who did not give a shit at all.

    Because their mouths were full of water companies share holders dicks

    The fact labour did this on day one of being able to pass any laws. Is a pretty erect response.

        Except, last time labour were in. This issue did not exist. It was created entirly within the 14 years of Tory rule. Specifically, it is the last few years that the issue has come to light.

        So, like it or not. By not playing labour or Tories as, you are attacking the current gov for actually doing something. You are very very much playing the Tories game.
