You said that was paused. What does that mean?

The existence of the plan—that there was going to be one—was set out in October and November, but not the fine detail of it.

15 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

Why did you decide to keep the whole plan a secret?

The board minutes say that the potential impact of the Water (Special Measures) Act 2025 and negative publicity was considered and that the recipients themselves were asked not to say anything about it.

What we were trying to get at with the initial scope of the plan is that there was a lot of confusion that was first over its existence and then who decided it would happen. A plan like that needs to be transparent because if there were people on the board of the company deciding—who may have been impacted by it—then t

Management retention plans or bonuses. Just to set the scene— because obviously there will be people watching this on television, and for myself to get it straight in my head—in October ‘24, Thames arranged a loan with Class A creditors for £3 billion. You said half of half of that has currently been drawn down from th

So the contemporary minutes were not right?

13 Jul 2025Topical Questions

The “New life for city buildings” project in Truro is breathing new life into empty high street buildings and redeveloping them. I would love for the Minister to be able to see this for himself, so will he consider coming to Truro and attending our growth summit on 18 September?

I just wanted to ask quickly about the emissions targets that you were talking about. How do you measure your emissions? Where are they reported? Do you include scope 3 in those measurements?

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

Why would that be?

There is a lot of consumer demand for change, actually. Some studies show that reusing and recycling could meet 60% of plastics demand. If there is a consumer push, it is possible. Is that something that INEOS could pick up and run with, and be a leader?

That would delay it more. Do you think we would ever get to a point where they would agree though, or would it just go on and on?

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

It is letting them off the hook a bit though, is it not?

Rudy, do you agree?

8 Jul 2025Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 929)

DEFRA has told us that it would prefer to use the Global Environment Facility because it would avoid further fragmentation of the environmental financial architecture and allow for synergies with funding of the challenges of climate and nature. Do you think that that is reasonable, or do you disagree with that for the

Obviously this has been going a long time. Agreement has not been reached. As somebody else said, it is kind of a last-chance saloon in Geneva in August, so the consideration is that it may not work. If it does not work, what on earth happens? If it does not work, what do you think? You have already talked about one op
