I think that is the part you should have put in bold."take all reasonable steps" to avoid using combined sewer overflows.
A proposal from the Lords to the Environment Bill that would have placed legal duties on the companies to reduce discharges was defeated by 265 MPs' votes to 202 last week.
Last Wednesday, 265 MPs voted with the government to reject an attempt by the House of Lords to toughen up the approach to the discharge of sewage, while 22 Conservative MPs rebelled and voted against the government.
Peers had tabled an amendment to the Environment Bill that would have forced water companies and the government to demonstrate progressive reductions in discharges of untreated sewage and required them to "take all reasonable steps" to avoid using combined sewer overflows.
You are defending it by trying to dismiss it by saying it's always been happening - understand what the vote was about.
I thought once we left the EU we could strengthen our environmental standards.

I think there has been a news update on this.
My comment was nothing to do with politics, it more to do with how sewage systems work.You are right U-TURN in bold. Looks like this shambles of a Government has again changed its mind.
So you defending this u-turn now?
Euphemism for U-Turn.
How many times do you have to defend Tory policy only to have egg on your face after the inevitable u-turn?
You must have some self respect left?
No. We can choose our own environmental standards.I thought once we left the EU we could strengthen our environmental standards.
Aaaaaand....silence again.Well then surely other peoples votes are none of yours then. But wait a minute! You actually started several threads titled 'Who are you going to vote for...'

And in another thread you ask the question of others that you think is nobody's business when you are asked. Unbelievable! If I'm a 'creepy old stalker' for asking you that question once, what does that make you who has been asking it for years?
What a ****ing hypocrite you are although we already know that anyway.
Now off you pop, have a whinge, get the thread locked and my post removed.
We always could.No. We can choose our own environmental standards.
