STAY COOLER CAMPAIGN

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.
