PROVISION OF PUBLIC LAVATORIES (No. 2)

That this House believes that the provision of public lavatories is a vital public service; notes with regret the closure of public lavatories over recent years, especially in rural areas; recognises that these closures have a particular impact on older and disabled people and those with young families; welcomes the British Toilet Association's campaign for better public toilets; and calls on the Government to make the provision of public lavatories a statutory duty for local authorities and to provide the necessary resources to enable them to do so.
