Clause 53 - Links between directors' pay and
Water Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
Mr Bill Wiggin (Leominster, Conservative)
I am grateful to the hon. Member for Lewes for his compliment, but he should have stopped there instead of putting the boot in later.
This was a clarifying amendment. I am not sure that I agree with the hon. Gentleman about the fat cats' charter. We must ensure that there is a proper incentive for all workers in the sector to work as hard as they can, and that they are remunerated properly. The probing amendments sought to do that. Sometimes we go too far in the interests of transparency, and that was what I was probing. The Government have not done a great deal to change my mind, but I do not wish to press the amendment at this stage. If necessary, we can always bring it back on Report. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
