The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many (a) single sex and (b) gender neutral bathroom facilities her Department provides in its Whitehall premises.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

I will be glad to schedule an opportunity for the Rt Hon Member to come into the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's King Charles Street offices and count the number of toilets if he considers that a sensible and appropriate use of his time. He will find that there has been no change to the provision of facilities to that in place under the previous government.
