> 'allows' being the operative term here which means that the statement you attempt to contradict has not been contradicted.

That's a totally absurd statement in response to "the current government put a new law on the books to give themselves the power to prosecute."

> How many executives has the UK government sought to prosecute under this law?

As stated in my original reply: it came into force in February 2025. It's currently November 2025. It takes time to commit "multiple" offences, particularly given they need to be investigated and convicted. And no, dumping sewage twice doesn't automatically count under any legal regime.

In addition, DEFRA identified that Ofwat (the water regulator) is not fit for purpose in July 2025 and set out a proposal to abolish and replace it.

So yes, it does contradict your statement because the government is literally acting. What would you propose happen instead? That the government hold show trials and just start locking up water company staff and execs?
