Petition Set a minimum standard for baby change and feed facilities in food outlets

Having seen my wife breastfeed our 3-month old daughter in numerous baby/parent facilities of varying hygiene and quality, I believe there should be a government-set minimum standard for dedicated rooms including all the following - baby change table, toilet, sink, paper towels and a feeding chair.

More details

John Lewis and Fenwick's are companies setting high standards. I have visited worse including M&S stores who combine baby facilities with a disabled toilet (no chair/poor hygiene) and Tesco (no toilet), whilst several Costa branches don't have anywhere private to sit so feeding has to be done standing up in the toilet.
As a father I see my wife feeding our baby in conditions that are poor and unhygienic for both parent/child, whilst I experience the lack of toilet facilities in changing areas.
