The Liberal Democrats have called for “more than just words” to stop sewage being spilled into rivers and seas, as the Government restated its pledge to improve the water industry.

The party’s environment spokesman and former leader Tim Farron urged ministers to introduce “practical solutions” to keep rivers clean and safe.
