What are the Government's estimated costs for establishing a new regulatory body for water in Wales?
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs | Answered on 25/09/2025
At this stage, our priority is to work with the UK Government on water reform and to take the necessary legislative and administrative steps to enable that reform.
The full costs of establishing a new regulatory body for water in Wales will need to be considered as part of future legislation and accompanying economic impact assessment.
