Public buildings will be forced to have separate male and female toilets, Tory ministers announced today.
The change, agreed by Boris Johnson's government last month, will apply to all public officers, hospitals, schools and entertainment venues.
The plans are aimed at ‘reining in’ the forced sharing of gender neutral facilities and are being spearheaded by the equalities minister Kemi Badenoch, the Telegraph reported.A review found women had concerns over reduced privacy and longer queues caused by neutral facilities. “These changes will stop the march of ‘universal’ and forced sharing of spaces - with a focus on guaranteeing privacy for all. This is a common sense approach that is inclusive for all.”Drone captures aftermath of Bedford explosion which saw people 'jumping from windows'
"These changes will ensure that separate toilets for men and women are preserved at the same time as providing universal toilets for those that want them."
