That this House notes the difficulty faced by disabled people who are unable to use standard accessible toilets in public places; understands the impact this has on the ability of many people to carry out day-to-day tasks outside of the home; is aware that Changing Places toilets would enable over 250,000 people to get out and about and carry out day-to-day activities; further notes that this would affect the daily lives of people with profound and multiple learning difficulties, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy; notes the petition to Change Building and Planning Regulations to Make Changing Places Toilets Compulsory, recently submitted to the Prime Minister, and the support of over 52,000 signatories for it; and urges the Government to act on the clear public support to ensure that Changing Places facilities are built into all new public buildings.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
