STAY COOLER CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1923, tabled 15 June 2011 by Tom Clarke (Labour). Signed by 14 members.

That this House supports the British Water Cooler Association's Stay Cooler campaign, a nationwide initiative to promote the importance of a healthy and hydrated workforce; recognises that drinking water is a critical component in tackling the UK's ongoing health problems, such as heart disease and obesity; notes that, while it might be tempting to cut water cooler provision during tough economic times, the long-term benefits to workplace productivity and wellbeing far outweigh any cost savings in the shorter term; and calls on the Government to ensure that public expenditure cutbacks do not lead to the removal of essential water provision for public sector employees.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Liberal Democrat 7.
