The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking with Southern Water to fix their water infrastructure.

Answered by Emma Hardy

The Secretary of State has already met with CEOs of all 16 water companies, including Southern Water, setting out his expectations from government going forward. He will have further conversations with water company chief executives in due course, including with Southern Water, on a range of issues, and will be sure to raise the experiences of those impacted by flooding and supply interruptions and scrutinise their plans to improve.
