MPs will force a “binding vote” in the Commons later to take new action on water firms discharging sewage into waterways.

Labour says its intervention comes in the absence of a Government plan to stop the practice.  

The Bill seeks to legally underpin four 'crucial' reduction measures including imposing automatic fines for sewage dumping.

Lib Dem leader and Kingston MP, Sir Ed Davey, wants a comprehensive plan to deal with sewage spills.
