The Secretary of State recently met with water company bosses, including Thames Water, to make it clear that water firms will be held accountable for their performance for customers and the environment. During the meeting, water bosses signed up to the Government\u2019s initial package of reforms to reduce sewage pollution and attract investment to upgrade infrastructure.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government also announced a new Water (Special Measures) Bill, which will turn around the performance of water companies, in the King\u2019s Speech. The Bill will strengthen regulation, give the water regulator new powers to ban the payment of bonuses if environmental standards are not met and increase accountability for water executives. These are the first critical steps in enabling a long-term and transformative reset of the entire water sector.<\/p>

<\/p>

I would also refer the hon. Member to the Written Statement made by the Secretary of State on 18 July, HCWS3<\/a>.<\/p>

The Government is committed to recognising the contributions of Nuclear Test Veterans.<\/p>

That is why the Prime Minister announced the creation of the Nuclear Test Medal in November 2022, and the government delivered on its promise that those veterans who had applied would receive their medals in time for Remembrance Sunday.<\/p>

I am delighted to confirm that I will be hosting a reception on 28 November for a small cohort of the first veteran recipients of the medal. Due to limited capacity, we have prioritised inviting veterans in order to honour and recognise the contribution of those who served at the time.<\/p>

Decisions about policy on the provision of medical products available from Part IX of the Drug Tariff are a matter for local clinical commissioning groups and National Health Service trusts, taking account of the needs of their local populations and national guidance, e.g. \u2018Items which should not routinely be prescribed in primary care: Guidance for CCGs\u2019 which was updated by NHS England and NHS Improvement and NHS Clinical Commissioners in June 2019. Clinicians are expected to prescribe products that meet their patients\u2019 clinical needs taking account of local commissioning policies as appropriate.<\/p>
