The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of restructuring Thames Water as a Community Interest Company.

Answered by Emma Hardy

The Government and Ofwat are carefully monitoring the situation with Thames Water, and the company remains stable. Thames Water is a private company, as such it would be inappropriate to comment any further on their corporate structure.
