APPENDIX 1
Memorandum from UNISON
In relation to the above inquiry, UNISON wishes to
make the following brief points:
1. We believe that there should be more transparency
in the process of arriving at the new price determinations. It
would help all those involved if there was a greater understanding
of the issues involved, and the reasons behind the eventual determinations.
2. There is some evidence to suggest that
the 1999-2005 determinations did not address certain environmental
obligations. For example, our members in the industry tell us
that addressing the problem of sewer flooding will not be possible
within the determinations.
Although these comments are brief, we believe
they are important and hope they assist the Committee in carrying
out the inquiry.
