Green watchdog loses fight to hide key information about its bosses.
UK’s Environment Agency has to reveal its area directors’ financial interests after a two-year battle with a clean water charity, the newspaper Express publishes.
A green regulator has lost a fight to hide potential conflicts of interests with water companies held by its directors across England. A tribunal ordered the Environment Agency (EA) to reveal its area directors’ financial interests after a two-year battle with Windrush Against Sewage Pollution (WASP).
The British Blue Community ‘We Own It’ comments:
💰The Environment Agency allows its staff to hold shares in the companies it regulates.
⁉️And we’re supposed to believe that regulation is going to fix the water crisis?!
🎉Huge congratulations to WASP on their victory – directors in the EA will now have to reveal their financial interests.
