I am responding to the points the Minister of State made about privatisation. It is another empty promise from the Government. The Minister did not answer the points about the privatisation which is happening now, never mind that might potentially happen in the future. This is privatisation from below, with the design, build and operate contracts going to major multinational water companies, some of the biggest in the world that are interested in profit.
