Rejected proposal comes on same day report shows 10 million litres of sewage were dumped into water at Lake District

A bid to criminalise water companies that fail to tackle sewage has failed.

The Liberal Democrats had proposed an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill that would have created new offences if firms did not do enough to deal with spills.

But the measure failed on Wednesday after Tory MPs voted against and Labour members abstained.

      Everyone knows, true republicans only drink beer and coke. But only non diet coke, as less calories is woke.
