HM Revenue and Customs is to provide staff with free sanitary products from the end of this month in a move senior managers said would put it at the forefront of government departments.
Chief people officer Esther Wallington and estates director Richard West announced the plans in an internal e-mail to the department’s 50,000-plus staff.
They said free period products would be made available in all female, gender-neutral and accessible toilets in HMRC offices from the end of June.
