Sorry.

1 Apr 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 527)

That brings me on to my second question, which I suspect might be more of a point than a question, but I would appreciate your comments on it. I appreciate there is a lot of emotion and frustration that people rightly have because the funds closed when they were trying to access them. I have had those conversations at

26 Mar 2025 Tobacco and Vapes Bill

I welcome the amendments to the Bill. This is now a strengthened piece of legislation that will create the first smokefree generation. The chronic health issues that stem from smoking and their impact on our NHS are well known. The Bill, the amendments and what they will go on to achieve will be critical in supporting

26 Mar 2025 Tobacco and Vapes Bill

I thank the hon. Lady for her intervention. We have heard that point made articulately, and not just by her. I look forward to the Minister’s response to that. The issue of the 3,000-puff vape and the additions that can be made to vapes are why I tabled new clause 21, which builds on themes that have been spoken about

Just to pick up on Tim’s point, the legacy of foot and mouth is felt keenly in Suffolk as well. I know there is a lot of nervousness about what we are seeing in Europe at the moment. Katrina, you just mentioned the recent Hungarian outbreak. I want to pick up on that in a bit more detail. How was that different in term

If you were aware of it, why was the decision made to only supply 44 homes on the Priority Services Register at the outage in Goole? You would have known that you would be putting some of your customers at risk, knowing that your Priority Services Register was not sufficient.

That is true for the last four years, correct?

25 Mar 2025Topical Questions

In Saxmundham in my constituency, Dr Havard has led a campaign for 20 years to transform the healthcare centre into a one-stop community healthcare hub. His practice has already expanded services, transforming health locally. Does the Minister agree that the Saxmundham healthcare hub is an excellent example and model f

Thank you. I am conscious that we do not have a huge amount of time so I will cover off the final two questions, on this section at least. I noticed that SES has an underspend of 30% on the enhancement budget and that enhancement budget, as you will know, is intended to allow for investment in water infrastructure. So

25 Mar 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Should we be concerned that with that underspend, investment is not happening to the critical infrastructure?

25 Mar 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

My final question, Chair. Ofwat’s final determination in the PR24 provided an expenditure allowance of £3.8 billion, which I believe was £94 million less than you had asked for, less than you had hoped for. I appreciate that is £1.5 billion more than the previous PR cycle. How can you achieve your targets? Importantly,

25 Mar 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

I want to revisit the point around the Priority Services Register. Are we right in saying that you are one of the worst performers in terms of reaching the target set by Ofwat?

25 Mar 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

I understand that, and your customers will welcome that news, but I am questioning the decision making. You knew that your Priority Services Register was not up to scratch, and you knew as an organisation that it would not have been a complete register, yet you made the decision to only supply 44 households with bottle

25 Mar 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

If that were to happen again, would you put aside the failures of your Priority Services Register, and would you commit to making sure that households receive bottled water and water stations, and not rely on data that was not sufficient to make appropriate decisions?
