Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review the provision of public lavatories in the station upgrade proposals of the TransPennine Route Upgrade programme between Manchester and Leeds.

There are no plans to make any further provision of public lavatories as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade programme inherited from the previous Government. Public lavatories will be replaced where the programme modifies or removes public lavatories at stations to facilitate works.
