It is for Thames Water to take population changes into account as part of its business planning for the five-yearly price review process with Ofwat.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, Defra is working closely with Thames Water on enabling construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel. The Tunnel will significantly reduce pollution in the Tidal Thames caused by sewage overflowing into the River Thames from combined sewage overflows when there is significant rainfall. It will also ensure that London's Victorian sewerage system, which is currently close to capacity at certain times of day, is able to meet the needs of the predicted increase in population in central London. This is set out in the economic and strategic case for the Tunnel, which can be viewed at the gov.uk website.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson
