Following response 28228 (2026), in which the Minister said she received a briefing in 2025 regarding the "Safer Drinking Water in Schools programme" labelled "28 May 2025 – Information Update: Joint Ministers’ meeting: Safe drinking water in schools", why did the Minister state in response 6167 (2026) that she had "not received any advice" about drinking water quality at 45 schools where 'do not drink' notices were issued in 2025?
