On the 12th October, Parliamentarians met in Portcullis House for the Inaugural Meeting for the Water Pollution APPG. This meeting voted in the Chairs and Officers, and minutes of the meeting can be found here.

On the 5th November, cross-party Parliamentarians joined River Action and Surfers Against Sewage in Portcullis House to learn more about the Water Pollution APPG and upcoming moments for MPs to support, such as the Water (Special Measures) Bill.

We are delighted to announce that Sir Jon Cunliffe, Chair of the Independent Water Commission, has agreed to meet the APPG for our evidence session on sewage on Wednesday 18th June. We anticipate this to be a key opportunity to raise concerns and influence thinking around the final report.

We will be hosting an evidence session on agricultural pollution on Wednesday 2nd July. We are delighted to welcome experts from Green Alliance, The Wildlife Trusts, River Action and Sustain to lead this meeting. It will give MPs an opportunity to discuss the impact that agriculture is having on our waterways.
