Labour is seeking to force a binding vote on draft legislation aimed at bringing an end to sewage dumping
Labour is bringing forward an Opposition Day motion to force a binding vote on draft legislation aimed at bringing an end to sewage dumping.But the Government said the plans were “ill-considered”., seeks to impose legally-binding reduction targets and automatic fines for companies found to be dumping waste in rivers and the sea.
Mr McMahon said: “Today, Tory MPs have an opportunity to support Labour’s Water Quality Bill which will put an end to sewage dumping once and for all. “Their constituents will be watching to see if they will put the best interests of our country before their party. “The next Labour government will build a better Britain and end the Tory sewage scandal, delivering mandatory monitoring on all sewage outlets, introducing automatic fines for discharges, setting ambitious targets for stopping systematic sewage dumping and ensuring that water bosses are held to account for negligence.”
