Motion text

That this House deplores the half million pound payoff made to former Severn Trent Chairman, John Bellak, as revealed in the recently published accounts of the water company; notes that during his term of office, Mr Bellak ruthlessly promoted the privatisation of the water industry despite evidence that the majority of the public he was supposed to serve opposed the sell-off; further notes that Mr Bellak's remuneration since privatisation was boosted by a series of salary rises and by share option deals whilst water prices soared and public accountability diminished; believes that it is a disgrace that the water companies should be making multi-million pound profits and making large payoffs to top executives when pensioners and low income families cannot afford to pay their water bills; and demands that OFWAT take immediate action to protect consumers from the excesses of the private water companies.
