The crisis enveloping Thames Water has deepened after its holding company announced it had been unable to meet debt repayments.

Kemble Water said it missed an interest payment that was due on Tuesday. The firm said it had asked its lenders to take no immediate action so as to 'provide a stable platform while all options are explored'. The announcement paves the way for a potential restructuring of Thames Water, which serves nearly a quarter of Britain's population.

' Dutch banking giant ING is among Kemble Water's lenders, Sky News revealed on Thursday. Two Chinese state-owned banks are also said to be involved and could play a key role in the company's future. They are due to be repaid £190m at the end of April, although there are growing expectations that a loan extension may be agreed.
