There is some concern that because SEW doesn't explicitly say Dave Hinton will attend that a proxy might be used. I've asked SEW directly if their CEO will attend the EFRA committee. Some say that due to lack of trust in SEW comms over the past week, they must be clear on this

NEW: Dave Hinton CEO of South East Water will attend the EFRA parliamentary committee to give evidence over water outages in Tunbridge Wells. Statement from South East Water below:

South East Water say they'll respond as soon as possible if Mr Hinton will appear before MPs on Jamuary 6th.

I've approached South East Water to ask if Mr Hinton will be accepting the committee request to appear. BBC South East approached SEW for an interview with Mr Hinton today, but we're told he is still not available.

I've been at South East Water HQ since the very early hours of this morning looking to speak to the CEO Dave Hinton. So far no signs of him. No replies to requests for an interview Instead his comms team tell me there will be no comment just "our focus is on restoring water"

This is quite remarkable! After the Tunbridge Wells MP exclusively told BBC South East the South East Water boss has to go over water outtage - The CEO phones the MP to "Rant" SEW say the focus is on restoring water.
