I dare say that I would, however since we currently have no need for it (we don't get many visitors either) it is occupying floor space that we need not pay for, and therefore draining resources needlessly (we really could do with the space, it is big enough for an office).
Since I suspect that if I, or anyone else needed the disabled lav they could use the one in the office next door (which is actually closer to the ofices than ours is...) you do wonder why it is one per company, and not neccersarily one per office suit, we have seven rooms, (three offices, a lab, a kitchen and two toilets...) and there is another lab set-up with similar facilites about three feet away from our front door.
I don't mean to sound nasty, but it does seem silly, specifically that we have to have a "disabled access toilet" in addition to the one we have anyhow. We had to have one fitted at my previous place of emplyment, which again occupied space.
Perhaps a better rule would be to have a disabled toilet that the rest of us were allowed to use, apparently (or according to the regulations) there is something in the design of one that stops abled bodied people using it, never saw what, other than the fact it's larger....
Co-incidentely we don't have to have seperate ladies and gents facilities.....
