| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “But it did not work.” | 5 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “That is 70 times the bonus of the lowest-paid staff in the company. If the work that they are doing on the frontline—repairing mains and leaks and fixing sewers—is so vital, why is the percentage bonus that they receive so much less than what the top leadership of the company receives?” | 51 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Perhaps a better use of that money would have been fixing pipes.” | 12 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Why is that wrong?” | 4 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Every time we have the Thames Water members in front of this Committee, they make assurances about turnaround plans and make commitments. Then when the next set of leaders come around—” | 31 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “So why pay the bonuses and the dividends?” | 8 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “It is very clear you pay very large bonuses to those at the top of your company. The most junior employees in your company—the people out repairing the water leaks on the roads—what percentage bonus did they get last year?” | 40 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “You clearly rowed back on commitments, and the impact of that is clearly seen. As Chris just alluded to, there has been a 40% rise in pollution incidents last year under your watch. Last year, you made profits of £140 million, so all this talk about not having the money to do these vital infrastructure projects, custom…” | 64 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “How much was that dividend in October?” | 7 |

| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “You did not, because these were asset health projects that you deferred.” | 12 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Which would have more than covered the 98 projects put back.” | 11 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Adrian, if you will allow me to finish the point, we ask the questions at this Committee. We have seen many changes of leadership. At every evidence session, the Committee have been given big assurances by that set of leadership. Then, at the next evidence session, we have a different set of leadership before us, apolo…” | 117 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “That was also to pay some money to bonuses and dividends; the two are linked, so address the two together.” | 20 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “How can customers have any faith that you are committed to turning around the business and reducing sewage pollution incidents and water outages if these 100 vital projects—projects that you committed to the legal regulator you would do in 2019—were rowed back on?” | 43 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “I would like to touch on some past experiences that customers have had with Southern Water. In 2019, you committed to the regulator, Ofwat, that you would undertake a series of vital infrastructure projects to prevent storm overflows, reduce pollution instances and improve water security, as we have just been talking a…” | 151 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Can customers have any faith now that what you have committed to do will be done if you row back on these commitments so easily?” | 25 |

| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “You just said you do not think you rowed—” | 9 |
