Details

The bill seeks to ensure water companies are better held to account where they have failed to deliver for the environment and customers.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the impact assessment for the bill on 13 November 2024. This means that we considered it to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary. 

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the impact assessment, not the policy itself.
