answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Legislation already states pupils must have access at all times to free, fresh drinking water. Schools are best placed to decide how to offer this. If water is not available parents should raise this through the school’s complaints policy. No teacher should be refusing a child water. If the hon. Member for Washington and Sunderland West is aware of any situation where this is taking place I would encourage her to write to the department.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 09/09/2019 16:54:19 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

It shares best practice with these partners and provides support and resources to other organisations running their own activities. It works particularly closely with local authorities, which have specific knowledge of under-registered groups in their areas.</p> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 09/09/2019 18:38:17 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson
