The EFRA Committee will continue its ‘reforming the water sector’ inquiry this week – four more water companies are due to appear before the Committee during two evidence sessions on the mornings of 25 and 26 February.

At 10am on Tuesday 25 February, MPs will question the leadership of South West Water, before questioning Yorkshire Water at 11am.

At 9.30am on Wednesday 26 February, the Committee will start by questioning the leadership of United Utilities, before moving on to questioning Severn Trent at 10.30am.

Both sessions will be an opportunity for MPs to quiz the companies on their individual financial performance, environmental performance, service delivery and consumer satisfaction.

The Committee will investigate water companies’ finances including their pay-out of dividends and executive bonuses.

MPs are likely to ask the water bosses about major recent concerns including incidents of outbreaks of contamination, such as the cryptosporidium outbreak in Devon last year, and continuing high levels of raw sewage being discharged into rivers and lakes, such as have occurred at Lake Windermere, the River Wharfe, and the River Trent.

Meeting details are as follows:

Tuesday 25 February Oral evidence

10.00 am: Susan Davy Chief Executive Officer at Pennon Group (South West Water)

11:00am: Nicola Shaw Chief Executive Officer at Yorkshire Water

Wednesday 26 February Oral evidence
