PUPILS at two North Lanarkshire schools could be tested for consumption of contaminated water, Nicola Sturgeon said today.
The First Minister said an independent review into blue water at Buchanan and St Ambrose High Schools in Coatbridge would be able to order further investigations if necessary.
Tests on the water have shown that it is safe, according to the local council and Education Secretary John Swinney, but parents and teacher unions remain worried.
