英国首相安迪·伯纳姆已指示官员重新考虑更激进的选项来挽救陷入困境的泰晤士水务公司，放弃之前的保守计划1。泰晤士水务公司最近向债权人请求额外24亿英镑资金1，而债权人曾提议一项100亿英镑的救援计划1。
政府正在评估多种干预手段，包括将约1亿英镑的罚款转换为政府股份、启动特殊管理制度或直接撤销营业执照等选项1。伯纳姆承诺结束"40年新自由主义"，并计划在今年晚些时候制定一份10年公共控制计划1。环境大臣安吉拉·伊格尔正在起草法案，以取消撒切尔时代对政府拥有水务公司的限制1。
不过，政府律师指出启动特殊管理制度面临困难，因为该公司目前由债权人维持运营1。与前任相比，伯纳姆表现出更强的诉讼意愿1。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has instructed government officials to develop more aggressive solutions to rescue the troubled Thames Water company, moving away from previously considered conservative approaches.1 The government is now exploring a range of options including converting approximately £100 million in fines into government shareholding, implementing special administration procedures, or revoking the company's operating license entirely to advance its commitment to utility renationalization.1
Thames Water recently requested an additional £2.4 billion in funding from creditors, while creditors had previously proposed a £10 billion rescue plan.1 Burnham has pledged to end "40 years of neoliberalism" and plans to establish a ten-year public control strategy later this year.1 Environment Secretary Angela Eagle is currently drafting legislation to remove Thatcher-era restrictions on government ownership of water companies.1 Government lawyers have noted that initiating special administration procedures presents legal challenges due to the company being maintained in operation by creditors.1 Burnham has demonstrated greater willingness to pursue litigation compared to his predecessor.1
