Government Departments: Sanitation
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 22 May 2025, to Question 51870, on Government Departments: Sanitation, whether any gender-neutral toilets have been installed on the Government estate since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Government Property Agency (GPA) uses the terms single-sex toilet and universal toilet (in line with Building regulation Approved Document T) when referring to toilet facilities.
All new Government Hubs which the GPA are developing are planned to have both single-sex and universal toilet facilities. Any projects completed since July 2024 should have both single-sex and universal toilet facilities in line with GPA guidance unless a derogation was agreed. Since July 2024, we have completed two projects:
2 Ruskin Square, Croydon - has both single-sex and universal toilet facilities.
22 Whitehall (Kirkland House), London - has both single-sex and universal toilet facilities.
This response only relates to projects undertaken by the GPA since July 2024 and not other parts of the Government estate for which the GPA is not responsible.
