Yorkshire Water Costs

EDM number 2222 in 1992-93, proposed by Helen Jackson on 28/06/1993.

That this House wholeheartedly endorses the criticism of Yorkshire Water plc by the regional OFWAT water Customer Services Committee for their so-called 'option' that its customers must pay a minimum of inflation plus 6.5 per cent. price increase just to maintain 'today's standards'; condemns the implied threat to the Government and the water regulator OFWAT that they will supply sub-standard water if the Regulator, Ian Byatt, in consultation with Ministers, approves a price increase close to that of inflation; and demands that Yorkshire Water look for other sources than the consumer's pocket to run their business efficiently.

This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs.
