Anyone Know

[teacake44]

Whether any ministers or con MPs have links/ business interests in water bottling companies.

[aelmpvw]

are you privy to a watergate scandal that ab isn't aware of?

[Souldarkness]

Put in a freedom of information request to the speakers office. They should be able to access the information from the register of members interests.

[teacake44]

I just can't explain the unidentified item in the bagging area. Sorry, should have said unexplained item in the bagging area.

[THECORBYLOON]

Eh?

[Zacs-Master]

No need for a FoI request, it's all here.

Many of the larger bottled water companies are divisions of global food groups, like Buxton (Nestle) or Evian (Danone), so don't forget those. You might also want to look into connections to the major supermarkets - at least one member of the government is a non-exec director of Tesco, for example. Finally, you could try asking a green organisation like Friends of the Earth if they have any campaigns running for this.

It appears that Boris and his government have still not caught on that passing large contracts on to cowboys, is not the way to go. More millions of tax payers money being thrown away.

[ToraToraTora]

what are you talking about?

[MartinMillar]

I think teacake is on about the free school meals debacle and that they are providing overpriced water in those lunches

[teacake44]

Don't you watch the news TTT. Let me help you, within the free box of so called food for kids, there is four bottles of water, very little food. So you have to wonder if Matt Hancock thinks that people have not got running water in their homes?

[ToraToraTora]

so what's all the "bagging area" twaddle about - and, TC, it's "Unexpected item in the bagging area" - I suppose that's the PM's fault too is it?

[teacake44]

You are having a job catching on today.

[ToraToraTora]

well how are we supposed to get that from your OP? Yes I agree the boxes are pitiful and a rip off, I agree 100%, someone is taking the peace charging £30 for for what is about a lady godiva's worth.

[ToraToraTora]

perhaps if you'd given us a link with your post we'd have a better chance.

[teacake44]

Now you're getting up to speed, just thought I'd make it a bit more exciting for you so you don't get bored.

[ToraToraTora]

ok got it:
"Anyone know
Whether any ministers or con MPs have links/ business interests in water bottling companies. " = the lunch packs are she hight! - and I'm the one accused of posting cryptically!

[Sunk]

Do poor children not have access to water?

Seems rather pointless putting in in a food parcel.

They also supplied a small loaf, but nothing to spread on it. Seems pretty obvious the private suppliers were trying to spend as little as possible on the parcel, kepi g the rest of the £30 as profit.
