Hosepipe bans

Early day motion 1373, tabled 26 June 2023 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 5 members.

That this House notes with concern the impact of hosepipe bans on households already struggling with the cost of living; further notes that households should not have to pay in full for a service they are only receiving in part; regrets that water companies have paid out large bonuses instead of investing in fixing water infrastructure; and calls on the Government to ensure water companies discount water bills after imposing their hosepipe bans and invest in fixing leaks to prevent the unnecessary loss of water.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 3, DUP 1, Labour 1.
