To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many meetings the permanent secretary of his Department has held with Thames Water on Operation Timber in the last 12 months.
Answered on
20 March 2024
The Permanent Secretary and senior officials in my department hold meetings with water companies, including Thames Water, on a regular basis to discuss issues affecting the water sector. As water companies are commercial entities, it is neither appropriate to comment on specific water companies, on the frequency of any such meetings nor publish any minutes of those meetings.
