Yorkshire Water

EDM number 141 in 1995-96, proposed by Alice Mahon on 29/11/1995.

That this House is shocked that the people of Yorkshire, having been subjected to the appalling mismanagement of a vital industry by the privatised Yorkshire Water Company, have learnt that their half-yearly profits are ú100 million; and believes this money should be invested in improving the supply and repairing leaks, and the 10 per cent. increase being proposed for shareholders should be paid to those whose lives have been disrupted and made miserable by the tanker operations and all customers who have seen their water bills double since privatisation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs.
