PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Developing Countries: Sanitation (5 July 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether the Government representative at the G20 Summit in July 2017 plans to raise the relationship between clean water and sanitation in schools and educational outcomes.

Asked by:
Kerry McCarthy (Labour)

The Government did not raise the relationship between clean water and sanitation in schools and educational outcomes as the issue was not on the G20 agenda this year. My department fully supports addressing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene issues in conjunction with other human development services. In particular, water and sanitation facilities and hygiene promotion and education are crucial for all institutions such as schools, clinics and hospitals.
