Incontinence

Debate between Lauren Sullivan and Roger Gale

Thursday 19th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Dr Sullivan]

I agree. The community toilet scheme in Gravesham has been a good success. However, the issue of course comes down to vandalism. Councils cannot see this as an easy way to cut money. It needs to be a statutory duty, so I support the bid of my hon. Friend the Member for Penrith and Solway to make it a statutory duty to provide public toilets in those spaces.

No one deserves to be lonely or locked in at home, so I hope that this debate is the first step to opening the door. I again thank my hon. Friend the Member for Dudley for bringing this issue to the attention of the world.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Roger Gale)]

I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
