The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with the Water Commission on the proposed water transfer and recycling project at the Havant Thicket Reservoir.

Answered by Emma Hardy

The independent water commission, led by Sir Jon Cunliffe, will consult experts in areas like the environment, public health, engineering, customers, investors and economics, reporting to the Secretary of State for Environment and Wales’ Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs by Q2 2025. The commission will consider the challenges the water sector faces as a whole and use the evidence to set out recommendations that will help transform the sector. The Terms of Reference for the Independent Commission are available at GOV.UK.
