Departmental Drinking Water

Andrew Rosindell
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much his Department has spent on water coolers in each of the last six months.

Mr. Michael Foster
The Department for International Development (DFID) does not use water coolers in its UK offices. Drinking water is provided by means of filtered chilled tap water.

Information on water coolers in our overseas offices is not centrally available and could not be obtained without incurring disproportionate cost.
