House of Commons division
Water (Special Measures) Bill Report Stage: New Clause 19
What the vote was about
The division was on New Clause 19 to the Water (Special Measures) Bill. The new clause would have required water companies to publish annual reports on their environmental performance, including data on sewage discharges and pollution incidents. For Cornwall, where many coastal towns depend on clean seas for visitor numbers and where residents value rivers and beaches, greater transparency on water company performance could help hold polluters to account and inform local action on water quality.
Why this division is tracked here
Water quality measures directly impact Cornwall's tourism economy and public health through bathing beach standards.
