Safeguarding Water Supplies And The Environment

EDM number 673 in 2003-04, proposed by Alan Meale on 24/02/2004.

That this House believes that everyone responsible for securing the nation's future public health and environmental needs must as a priority ensure the current Water Services Price Review guarantees that all required infrastructure funding and other investment levels are fully satisfied, rather than overlooked because of shortsighted price cuts set at arbitrary levels; recognises that the protection of the United Kingdom's world class water service is fundamental towards these ends, as is an understanding of the many challenges it faces, including climate change and other uncertainties such as the effects of modern materials and products which may one day threaten supplies; and calls upon the Government to accept the fact that, in today's Britain, the average cost of less than ú100 per annum per person for their full qualitative water and sewerage treatments represents real value that should not be threatened by any irresponsible knee-jerk reactions which would lead to under investment in this sector.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
