Chris Loder MP Allows Raw Sewage Dumping Into Our Rivers

While the U.K. prepares to host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 31 October, last week MPs voted on Amendment 45.

“Lords’ Amendment 45 to the Environment Bill would have placed a legal duty on water companies in England and Wales “to make improvements to their sewerage systems and demonstrate progressive reductions in the harm caused by discharges of untreated sewage.”

“Despite the horrendous environmental impact of the disgusting practice, shortly before the vote, the Conservative Environment Secretary George Eustice recommended to his fellow MPs that they should reject it.”

“And, owing largely to the government’s 80 seat majority, the amendment was indeed defeated – by a margin of 268 MPs to 204.”
