What reasons it was given for the resignation of Professor Alan Alexander from his post as Chairman of Scottish Water.

Professor Alan Alexander tendered his resignation as Chair of Scottish Water to the Minister for Environment and Rural Development on 20 February 2006. His reason for doing so was that he did not agree with the view of the Executive and Scottish Water’s regulators (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Drinking Water Quality Regulator and the Water Industry Commission for Scotland), that Scottish Water’s delivery plan for 2006-10 fell short of their requirements for the plan in a number of material respects.
