01:17 - Well, always worried about pollution
01:26 and seas and rivers, keep your mouth closed,
01:28 my view, but our whole campaign is to clean up
01:32 our rivers and our seas, it's so urgent
01:35 and it matters a lot to people in water sports,
01:37 people swimming, families with their children,
01:40 we've got to clean up our rivers and seas
01:43 and it should have been done before,
01:45 it's amazing and so wrong that it's got
01:48 in such a bad way.
01:50 Whole series of things, we've argued
01:52 that the water companies should have to pay a sewage tax,
01:54 we've argued for much tougher regulation
01:57 on Ofwat and the VAL agency,
01:59 we've argued that the water companies
02:01 could become public service companies
02:03 like they are in many American states.
02:06 We've got a whole set of measures we want to take
02:08 to clean up our water and clean up our water industry.
