answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold data on the number of public toilets in England. Whilst the provision of public toilets is a matter for local authorities, we encourage councils to keep these important amenities open. At Budget 2018 the Chancellor announced a 100 per cent business rates relief for public lavatories in England, and the Government will introduce legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows. In addition the Department recently launched a consultation proposing changes to Building Regulations to create more Changing Places toilets for severely disabled people.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 10/06/2019 16:25:56 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
