The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will publish all relevant reports submitted to the Environment Agency in 2024 by the operator of the Peterborough Stanground Thistle Drive Pumping Station in compliance with their obligations under the The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016.

Answered by Emma Hardy

Relevant reports will be published in due course.

The permit (AWCNF428/10348) requires various information and data to be submitted to the Environment Agency as follows:

  1. Annual Summary report for Storm Event Duration Monitoring (EDM) data – start & stop times. The 2023 report was submitted in 2024 () but Water Companies have until the end of February 2025 to submit 2024 data which we will make publicly available in March 2025.

  1. Annual Summary report for Storm EDM data – operational/not operational. As above.
