This is a positive note on which to conclude. I am heartened that we are moving towards controlling the area of water quality, having a strategy to make it work and deliver the cleanest water in Europe to our communities. If we can do that, we will have done a good day's work. I remind the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government of his confirmation and reiteration that this Bill will not lead to privatisation of the water supply.
