Women in the Home Office are having to visit other departments to use the toilet, because so many of the building’s facilities are unisex.

£40,000 was spent in 2018 to convert ten toilets into unisex facilities, without consultation.

Women were distressed by men leaving the doors open whilst using the toilet, and signs were put up asking men to close the doors.

“I have launched a review to establish the best way to deliver this as a priority and make sure that women can expect a sense of dignity, security and safety when using facilities,” Jenrick said in October. “We want to maintain safeguards that protect women and the proper provision of separate toilets.”

Launched a review??? Shouldnt have happened in the first place.
I know. If only they'd bothered asking in the first place, they'd have saved themselves a lot of time and money.
