EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Thérèse Coffey's interview on BBC Laura Kuenssberg, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron MP said:

“The sewage scandal is a damning verdict on the Government's failure to protect our treasured rivers and lakes. 

“While the water companies have apologised, Thérèse Coffey has still failed to. She oversees a Government that continues to let water companies dump outrageous amounts of sewage into our rivers. 

“This scandal is happening on the Conservatives’ watch and has done for years, they have failed the British people miserably by not doing more. 

“Enough is enough: this sewage scandal must end today."
