Scottish Water Authority (PE411) PE411, from Martin Meteyard, calls on the Scottish Parliament to consider the case for the establishment of a mutually owned and managed Scottish water authority, to commission a feasibility study into the proposal and to make representation to the UK Government seeking to exempt Scotland from, or delay the implementation of, the provisions of the Competition Act 1998 as they apply to the Scottish water industry.PE411 is similar to PE399, which we considered at our meeting on 23 October, although it calls for a different solution to the perceived problem of the Scottish water industry, and it falls within the remit of the Transport and the Environment Committee's consideration of the restructuring of the water industry under the Water Industry (Scotland) Bill.
