Description

Malcolm Brown interviews the OFWAT Chairman Ian Byatt about the increase in water bills above the rate of inflation. The rises occurred as shares in the privatised water companies surged. However, Byatt thinks he’s got the balance right in advising water companies what price increases they can impose on the paying public.
