Written Question
Cabinet Office: Drinking Water
Friday 16th March 2018

Asked by: Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat - Westmorland and Lonsdale)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much money his Department has spent on bottled water in each year since 2010.

Answered by Oliver Dowden

It is long standing Cabinet Office policy not to provide bottled water for meetings.

Bottled water is sold via vending machines and in the local catering outlets in 70 Whitehall.

Information on how much money the department have spent on bottled water is not held centrally and could only be produced at disproportionate cost.
