Public Lavatories: Disability

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, which groups are eligible to receive free Radar keys for accessible toilets through government-funded or government-supported schemes; and whether the Government plans to extend eligibility for free Radar keys to any additional groups.

Answer: I refer the hon. Member to the answers given to Questions UIN 16248 on 20 January 2025 and UIN 72112 on 8 October 2025. The sale or use of RADAR keys is not a government backed scheme. Use of RADAR keys is not an expectation of Part M of the Building Regulations. The functional requirement in Part M of the Building Regulations is for new building works to make reasonable provision for people to access and use a building and its facilities.
