It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Dowd. I begin by paying tribute to Members from across the House for the incredibly thoughtful and personal stories that they have shared. I thank the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) for securing this very important debate. I recognise the importance of the provision of good-quality, accessible public toilets more broadly. Approximately one in 335 people of all ages in the UK is estimated to be living with a stoma, and each year more than 13,000 people in the UK undergo stoma surgery. The Government committed over £5 billion at the last spending review for essential local services, including public toilets, and provide 100% mandatory business rates relief for stand-alone public toilets. All building work must meet the functional requirements of the Building Regulations 2010, but I accept that standard public toilets may not always provide a safe and dignified way for everyone. The Government are considering how to support local authorities without additional statutory burdens to ensure accessible toilet provision is available across the UK. I am open-minded about whether we do that through regulation or by having schemes that support better facilities. Local authorities should think outside the box, champion this issue, and speak up on tricky topics. There are examples of small grants encouraging businesses to make their facilities available to the public, improving access for residents. I welcome continued dialogue with Members and others who feel strongly about this topic. The Government recognise the importance of ensuring that public spaces are accessible, inclusive, and supportive of people's dignity and independence.
