The Environment Secretary has been urged to make water bosses criminally liable for polluting the UK’s waterways.
The OEP has found the Government’s legal targets to improve the state of England’s rivers, lakes and coastal waters will be missed by a ‘considerable margin’ “So will the Government now back Labour’s plan and make water bosses personally criminally liable? So if they keep illegally dumping sewage, they end up in the dock.”
He said: “When one looks at the survey this week from the National Farmers Union into farmer confidence, what they revealed was a staggering 65% of farmers are facing declining profits or their business won’t survive at all. SNP Defra spokesman Steven Bonnar told the Commons: “The SNP government has guaranteed Scottish farmers the level of funding that was available pre-Brexit, unlike the Tories here in England, or indeed the Labour Party in Wales.
