Select Committee on Environmental Audit Minutes of Evidence


Letter to the Chief Executive, Water UK, from the Director General, Ofwat

FINANCIAL MODEL RULE BOOK

  Many thanks for your letter of 2 November.

  David Rees and I discussed this matter before we made a decision and issued the Rule Book. I was well aware of the arguments being used by the companies and believe that we have acted transparently and given the companies considerable insight into the way the model works.

  The model has, of course, been independently audited.

  In short, our decision stands.

  I copy, as you did, to Alan Davis, although I do not think he has a direct responsibility in this matter.
