Water Charging

EDM number 912 in 1999-00, proposed by Jane Griffiths on 29/06/2000.

That this House notes that current arrangements for water metering provide no short or medium term arrangements to ensure fair water charging and that arrangements for metering significantly disadvantage poorer households; and recommends that the Government put in place fair and progressive machinery for charging for water, including measures that allow water companies to link tariffs for water to council tax bands.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
