Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Can you tell me why drinking water is banned in Job Centre premises?

Can you tell me under what legislation gives DWP the authority to ban drinking water from Job Centre premises?

Can you tell me why it doesn't conflict with the principles of a right to an adequate standard of living in the ICESCR, as set out in section II?

Yours faithfully,
