The People’s Commission on the Water Sector sent a letter to Steve Reed, Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, setting out why the £100bn being repeatedly used as the cost of nationalising the UK water industry is wrong, and why money will not have to come from the National Health Service.

The letter is published on the website of the People’s Commission on the Water Sector
