§ Mr. ViggersTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a planning guidance circular concerning the standards to be met in the provision of ladies' lavatory facilities in buildings open to the public.
§ Mr. YeoMy right hon. Friend has no plans to do so: this is not a concern of the land-use planning system. However, the Building Regulations 1985 and the technical guidance associated with them lay down requirements for the provision of sanitary conveniences and washing facilities in new buildings in England and Wales.
