Can my right hon. Friend make

Do you accept that your reporting methods for leaks and consumer usage figures are inadequate? If so, what are you doing to improve them?

Thank you; I think in the interests of time we will have to move on.

This is another example of a concern around transparency: I have asked you a question about, do you agree with their assessment, and I do not feel that I am getting a transparent answer, similarly to my question around the non-disclosure agreements. As CEO, you would have been aware, or you should have been aware, and

Okay, moving on, we have already heard about serious concerns including incidents in Lostwithiel and across Cornwall and Devon. In 2022, the Environment Agency said that South West Water showed “Complacency” and “Were not honest, open and transparent with regulators about their drought projections and potential risks t

I think it is quite unacceptable to come before the Committee without an answer to a question you would probably have been expecting to answer. Can you at least outline what areas those NDAs covered?
