I’m sad to say it’s my last day final day working for the @CommonsEAC. It’s been such a privilege to work for @Dunne4Ludlow and this lovely group of MPs

The Government's guidance to the water industry regulator @Ofwat will be laid in Parliament today. It will reverse the current pressure on water companies to keep bills low and allow them to invest in long term improvements for #waterquality from 2024

Great to see @DefraGovUK strengthen some of the language from its consultation and include a challenge for water companies to demonstrate how they can deliver zero serious pollution incidents by 2030
