The government have announced that new non-domestic buildings will provide separate single-sex toilets for men and women. 

The new legislation means that single-sex toilets will be mandatory in restaurants, shopping centres, public toilets and other non-domestic buildings. Private single-user mixed-sex toilets may also be provided if there is enough space in a building. These toilets may also be used if there is not enough space for single-sex toilets.
