Description

Interview with shadow Environment Secretary, Jack Cunningham, at the Labour Party conference in Brighton, following his speech where he revealed a leaked copy of a draft share prospectus for the privatisation of water. He says it proves the Government is offering a massive bribe to ensure the sell off is not a failure but the customers will have to bear the cost and Labour would re-nationalise the industry. Male interviewer not identified.
