AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoWater Services: Thames Water ranked 16th of 17 firms for customer satisfaction. Drinking water passed 99.97% of safety tests, but leakage remained well above the industry average and the company recorded 464 pollution incidents in 2025. Beauty Safety: Tests found dangerous substances in counterfeit cosmetics, including mercury in skincare, lead in make-up and methanol in a fake perfume. Four in 10 seized cosmetics contained potentially harmful substances. Household Finances: Mortgage approvals fell to their lowest level since December 2023 as borrowing costs rose. Unsecured consumer lending, however, grew at its fastest annual pace since 2018. Children’s Health: A needle-free adrenaline nasal spray is now available by prescription for children aged four and over who weigh 15kg to under 30kg, offering an alternative for some children who fear injections. Food Prices: Food manufacturers say removing tariffs on some products is unlikely to meaningfully lower prices for shoppers and could put British producers, including baked-bean makers, under greater pressure.
