Mr Reed, who is responsible for holding private water companies to account, declared £1,786 for a Chelsea v Crystal Palace ticket with hospitality from a firm linked to Northumbrian Water.

The environment secretary has said he did not know the company he received a £1,700 football ticket from was linked to a water firm that was fined millions for sewage failings. Steve Reed told Sky News' Breakfast with Kay Burley programme he 'didn't know they had a relationship with a water company' and 'that didn't arise, nobody spoke about it'.

Mr Reed called the issue 'complete nonsense' as the ticket was from a telecoms company, and said 'not a single policy has been softened' as a result. Asked why he took a football ticket from Northumbrian Water's parent company, Mr Reed told Sky News on Wednesday: 'Well, I didn't.' After having the company's link explained, he said: 'On that occasion, there was nobody from a water company that was involved in offering those tickets.
