I have used the above in my kitchen last year with excellent results. The paint is from B&Q and specially for kitchens and bathrooms so I presume it resists condensation, but I wondered if it would be sufficient for the greater condensation of a bathroom. I don’t want it to start peeling off!
Is Lining Paper Painted With Kitchen/bathroom Suitable Paint A Good Enough Surface For A Bathroom?

Lining paper was designed to be hung horizontally as an underfelt for wallpaper. It was never designed for painting; although it is common now.
I would not do it in a bathroom that gets a lot of heat and condensation as there is a good chance the paste will reactivate and come away from the wall in places.
Lining paper prior to painting does very little. It is really only beneficial if you are painting over a previous decorators bad painting and you want to be rid of the poor texture in their rollering. In terms of evening out surfaces and cracks it does nothing you cannot do more sturdily with filler and rubbing down. If a room was horrendous I would get a plaster in to reskim.
There is a good chance the paper will peal off over time.
If you can’t afford tiles paint directly onto the wall with one of the proprietary paints. May also be better to size the wall 1st if its a bit on the rough side.
No ,it wont peal its a great way to take care of walls that are in somewhat tough shape.
Damp atmosphere use eggshell paint. Jeff
