Proposed Sale Of Yorkshire Water

EDM number 944 in 1999-00, proposed by Hilary Benn on 10/07/2000.

That this House believes that the proposal by the Kelda Group to sell Yorkshire Water for a reported ú2.4 billion to a registered community asset mutual raises fundamental questions about the future ownership of water services; believes that customers and others need time fully to consider the implications of this proposal; and therefore calls on OFWAT to extend the deadline for public consultation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
