Government may have broken law over sewage watchdog

The UK's environment watchdog suspects the government and water regulators have broken the law over how they regulate sewage releases.
It follows continued high levels of sewage releases in England which topped 825 times a day last year. Campaigners and opposition MPs have called the regulators "complicit" in allowing the pollution. The government said it did not agree with the Office for Environmental Protection's "initial interpretations". Last week a BBC investigation found potentially hundreds of illegal dry sewage spills in England. In response to the announcement the government said: "The volume of sewage discharged is completely unacceptable. That is why we are the first government in history to take such comprehensive action to tackle it."
