15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

What about exchange for debt?

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

We do not really know what stage you got to with KKR because you will not release the board minutes and you will not release the minutes on the other. So there is a lack of transparency, is there not?

40
15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Is it a better or worse proposal than the one offered by KKR?

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

The class A creditors are going to raise £2 billion more of debt. Do you think that more debt is the solution?

22
15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

So you cannot give a figure as to how much debt there will be on day one?

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Is there an intention to inject fresh equity?

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

In terms of the creditors’ plans, I do not think there has been a commitment in respect of dividend payments and there has been a hint at public listing. What is the plan to get a return on investment for the creditors?

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Why are you not being transparent about that process? That is the key thing here, is it not? Ultimately, we are sitting here responsible for taxpayers’ money, and we are responsible for customers in respect of Thames Water. We sit here to represent our constituents. The onus is effectively that your buck stops with the

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

And the way that you have set up this bidding process means that they effectively get preferential treatment?

18
15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Can I just come back to the point about the minutes in terms of releasing them to the Committee? Is it the case that what is going on here is that you are refusing to release the minutes because they demonstrate that there is a plan that the class A creditors have a preferential first dibs on Thames Water?

59
15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Sorry, say that last bit again?

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Your documents describe it as a material write-down in respect to the debt. I wonder whether it is a better or worse deal for Thames than write-downs offered by KKR or other bidders.

13 Jul 2025State of Climate and Nature

I commend the Secretary of State for his statement. I share his view that we have a responsibility to generations to come, and my constituents want to be part of a just transition. Is he committed to a just transition that protects jobs and prevents decarbonisation through de-industrialisation?

9 Jul 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 597)

Do you think that the MOD is taking account of the opportunities for high-paid, high-skilled jobs and particular social value to areas that have high levels of child poverty? We just touched on welfare issues. Do you think that that forms part of the MOD’s thinking when it is looking at engaging with companies in Wales

9 Jul 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 597)

The UK Government have made a commitment to increase defence spending to 2.5% from April 2027 and then to 5% by 2035. What are you doing to ensure that Wales benefits from that increase in defence spending?

37
9 Jul 2025Welsh Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 597)

Our predecessor Committee did an inquiry on defence in Wales. I do not think it fully finished, because of the 2024 general election, but it wrote a letter to the previous Secretary of State setting the sector out as an unsung hero of the Welsh economy and recommending, in particular, that the MOD should improve its kn

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

Could you briefly outline the extent of your engagement in the UN global plastics treaty process? We can start with Peter and then just work our way down.

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

Why are you sending a delegation, in any event?

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

I am just struggling to understand this. You have industry representatives. You are part of an association.

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

You do not present that because they are just observing.
