Burnham promises law to allow public ownership of water firms
Andy Burnham told Labour's conference that Angela Eagle will bring a strengthened water bill to Parliament, repealing what he called Margaret Thatcher's ideological ban on public ownership of water companies. He said water was a service where shareholders never lose, while the public pays for sewage in the seas. He said some had siphoned out easy money and he would not let it continue.
