Proposed Water Bill (EDM891)

Proposed Water Bill

EDM number 891 in 2001-02, proposed by Candy Atherton on 26/02/2002.

That this House believes that over-abstraction of water leads to problems for the environment and consumers; notes with concern that most abstraction licences in England and Wales date back to the Water Resources Act 1963 and have little regard for their environmental impact; believes that legislation is needed now to improve water policy and management in relation to abstraction; notes that the Water Bill has been ready in draft for over a year; and calls on the Government to include the Water Bill in its programme of legislation for the next session of Parliament.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
