| 21 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “I challenge that.” | 3 |
| 21 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “You can say that you challenge that from simple mathematics but I would say to you that it is the equations that you choose to look at versus the other consequences of not investing in it. As you are saying, the cost of gas is significant but you are also disregarding a whole set of equations over here and that we are …” | 111 |
| 21 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589) “I want to go back and revisit the conversation we had a moment ago. We are probably not going to agree on this because I have heard what you have said, but I might bring in Rohit to see what he thinks about this. The fundamental problem I have—the challenge—is that your answer to me when I posed that question reinforce…” | 337 |

| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “I would refer to a fleeting comment I made earlier; you might be asking the right questions, but you are not finding the right answers.

| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “It is not an honest conversation about the failings and flaws and issues within your organisation that you are prepared to have publicly. We are clearly not going to agree on this, but I would suggest that until you can understand that, you cannot build trust with your customer base, nor can you have good communication…” | 56 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “That is what an injunction does.” | 6 |

| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Going back to Ofwat’s report, as I said earlier, it identified an array of issues between 2020 and 2023, including that you contravened section 27 of the Water Industry Act. Why has compliance been such a problem for you?” | 39 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “That is like saying that BA are a really good airline but the planes cannot get off the ground.” | 19 |

| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Were communications in the room when you made that decision?” | 10 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “This goes back to the point I was trying to make at the beginning: when you say that it is absolutely vital and fundamental to what you do, and you are not doing it, you cannot build trust, and we do not see any improvement coming through. I will leave this as my final question here. Your company is one of the worst pe…” | 106 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “I would imagine they were not in the room because I cannot imagine that anyone would advise you that it would be a good move to seek an injunction against criticism of your organisation so that the public could not see it. If you wanted to build trust with your customer base and to fulfil your social contract, you woul…” | 102 |
