Speaker 2
Good morning everyone, welcome again to the Built Environment Committee.  This is the fourth evidence session of our inquiry into new towns, specifically about bricks and mortar.  And we're very delighted today we have joining us three distinguished members of the profession: Stuart Colville, the Deputy Chief Executive at Water UK; John Marsh, who's the Chief Innovation Officer at BUUK Infrastructure; and Lawrence Slade, who's the Chief Executive at Energy Networks Association.  So we have got quite a lot to get through and we're really looking forward to your evidence and the conversation with us.  And as I said previously, please don't feel obliged that everyone has to answer every question because we completely appreciate that. 

And we always welcome information in writing afterwards, we are avid for evidence.  And so if you could introduce yourselves very briefly before we start our questions.  Can I start with you, Stuart? 
01:11 - 01:20
Speaker 3
Good morning, I'm Stuart Colville, Deputy CEO of Water UK, and we represent all of the water and wastewater companies across the United Kingdom.
