Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress the Government has made in increasing (a) the number of and (b) access to Changing Places toilets.

The number of Changing Places toilets continues to increase, with 1162 facilities available today, compared to 140 in 2007. The Government has supported the development of a web based map showing the location of Changing Places toilets and has recently announced, in its Inclusive Transport Strategy, £2 million grant funding for Changing Places facilities in motorway service areas. The Government is considering what further can be done to promote the provision of Changing Places toilets.
