House of Commons division
Water (Special Measures) Bill Report Stage: Amendment 9
What the vote was about
The division was on Amendment 9 to the Water (Special Measures) Bill at report stage. The amendment proposed changes to how water companies are regulated and held accountable for pollution and water quality failures. For Cornwall, where coastal waters and beaches are vital for tourism and local recreation, tighter regulation of water companies matters because sewage spills and poor water quality can harm bathing water ratings, marine life and the local economy. The outcome could have affected the strength of measures against polluters.
