    Public Accounts Committee Oral evidence: Water Supply and Demand Management, HC 378 Monday 1 June 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 June 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Meg Hillier (Chair); Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown; Dame Cheryl Gillan; Mr Richard Holden; Sir Bernard Jenkin; Mr Gagan Mohindra; Sarah Olney Nick Smith; James Wild. Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General, Keith Davis, Director, National Audit Office, and Marius Gallaher, Alternate Treasury Officer of Accounts, HM Treasury, were in attendance. Questions 1-89 Witnesses I: Tamara Finkelstein, Permanent Secretary, DEFRA, Sally Randall, Director, Floods and Water, DEFRA, Rachel Fletcher, Chief Executive, Ofwat, and Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive, Environment Agency. Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Water supply and demand management (HC 107) Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Tamara Finkelstein, Sally Randall, Rachel Fletcher and Sir James Bevan. Chair: Welcome to the Public Accounts Committee on 1 June 2020. We are here today to look at the very important issue of water supply and demand management, and I thank the National Audit Office for its excellent Report on this. This is a concern that has been running for a long while, because if something is not done to manage our water supply and the demand for it, we will run out of water in the next 15 years. The Committee on Climate Change predicts that the demand for water in England will exceed supply by between 1.1 billion and 3.1 billion litres a day by the 2050s, but we are losing a lot through leakage—around 20%— which I know many colleagues around the House have concerns about.

  • Clare Moriarty
    Clare Moriarty Permanent Secretary at the Department for Exiting the European Union April 2019 – January 2020 Permanent Secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs August 2015 – April 2019 5 February 2021 Defra before the referendum UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): You came to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) from the Department for Transport (DfT) in mid-2015, when Liz Truss was Secretary of State. What did you make of the state of Defra when you arrived there? It had been subject to pretty significant cuts under the Coalition. What sort of department did you think you’d moved into? Clare Moriarty (CM): I started at the beginning of August. It was the middle of the holidays, and a lot of people were away, but it felt to me that the department wasn’t functioning well. The relationship between my predecessor and the Secretary of State, Liz Truss, had been difficult and there was a lack of proper challenge in the system. Liz was very keen to downsize the Department dramatically, ahead of going through a process of thinking about what the Department was going to do in the future, how it needed to be organised, and how many people you needed. Before I’d even started at Defra, the HR team came to see me in DfT and told me that Liz wanted to have a voluntary Page 1/30 redundancy exercise to reduce numbers by 40%, and I had to say ‘No, we’re actually not going to do it like that’.

Questions 1 - 104 Witnesses I: Rt Hon George Eustice MP, Secretary of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Tamara Finkelstein, Permanent Secretary, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Written evidence from witnesses: – Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Rt Hon George Eustice MP and Tamara Finkelstein. Q1 Chair: Welcome to the EFRA Select Committee on the end of the transitional period. We are very fortunate to have both the Secretary of State and the permanent secretary with us this afternoon. Would you like to introduce yourselves for the record? George Eustice: I am George Eustice, Secretary of State at DEFRA. Tamara Finkelstein: I am Tamara Finkelstein, the permanent secretary for DEFRA. Q2 Chair: Thank you both for joining us. I am going to ask the first question, on trade. Last week, the Prime Minister committed to a reciprocal tariff on EU imports if there is no EU deal. How will you protect domestic food producers while ensuring that tariffs do not lead to increased food prices for consumers? I imagine that one is firmly in your court, Secretary of State. George Eustice: We published the UK global tariff earlier this year, which is a revision from the original proposal of a temporary tariff last year.
