Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the answer of 10 July 2023 to Question 192826 on Public Lavatories: Men, how her Department encourages local authorities to consider the provision of sanitary bins in public toilets.
Local authorities are best placed to determine bin provision locally. Our Binfrastructure guidance sets out a strategic approach local authorities can take to tailor their bin provision to the characteristics of the area and the community they serve. I am committed to working across government to explore where potential improvements can be made.
