MP signs up to water plea

The Labour MP for East Lothian has joined a cross-party group of politicians calling for universal access to water and sanitation.

Fiona O’Donnell MP signed the letter, which was published to coincide with World Water Day, urging the UK Government to take a lead role.

She said: “Ending hunger and ensuring everyone has access to clean, safe water are the two greatest international development challenges facing the world today.”
