Last night (Monday 4 December) Tory MPs voted down a new law tabled by the Liberal Democrats that would provide compensation to those who have suffered illness as a result of sewage in the waterways of England and Wales. The new amendment came in the wake of government statistics released on Friday (December 1) which found a sharp rise in the number of bathing water sites rated as "poor quality." It also comes following environment group Surfers Against Sewage annual report which found that raw sewage was discharged into UK rivers and seas almost 400,000 times last year.

The new amendment would have allowed anyone who has suffered illness as a direct result of sewage-polluted water to claim compensation. It would also have ensured the government establishes a compensation scheme.

The Liberal Democrats said that the Conservatives have “let water firms get away with their destructive ways for far too long” and “there needs to be justice for victims of potential environmental crimes, especially swimmers and families simply wanting to enjoy beaches and lakes.” The party added: “Water company CEOs are pocketing millions in bonuses whilst swimmers get sick. This cannot carry on. If someone is poisoned by sewage, they should be compensated for it.”

What was the amendment?

The Liberal Democrats were calling on water firms to use their profits to fund the scheme that would compensate those who fall ill from sewage water. The new amendment was tabled to the government’s Victims and Prisoners Bill. The amendment would have covered the following:

  • Provide for the payment of compensation to people who have become unwell as a result of bathing in water contaminated by sewage.

  • Make provision in relation to the medical evidence required to support a claim for compensation under the regulations.

A government spokesperson said that this government is the "first" to take "comprehensive action on storm overflows with monitoring up from just 7% in 2010 to 100% expected by the end of the year, while also introducing the largest infrastructure programme in water company history – £60 billion over 25 years, prioritising action to improve bathing waters." The spokesperson added: "Where water and sewerage companies have broken the law, regulators will not hesitate to take robust action and they already have a range of tools available to them. This can include criminal prosecution for which there can be unlimited fines."

How did my MP vote on the amendment?

The vote took place last night with 190 MPs voting in favour of the amendment and 277 voting against it. So it fell. Those who voted against the amendment were Conservative MPs including the likes of Suella Braverman and Dominic Raab.
