Convert toilet waste pipe to waste pipe for washing machine?

May seem like an odd question, but I'm helping convert some space at a friend's house and he has a random toilet that's unused currently and wants to temporarily use the space for a washing machine and tumble and have the waste go into the old toilet waste pipe. The pipe is out of ground and goes off into a space to the left.

We can find full covers, but anyone heard of something that covers and converts so that a plastic waste pipe can attach to it?

If not, I'm thinking we cut a hole in the cover and then force a pipe through it and seal around it, and then put a ubend to stop any smells.
 
many thanks
If you're going really bodge just drain into the pan
the pan is in the way so needs to go else the machines wont fit.
 
there is a vent that goes up out of the ceiling (right above the toilet room) which I believe is there to allow air flow when a large "load" is flushed, the air can be sucked in.

If that's correct, is there any harm in making the pipe small that goes up to the ceiling?

for instance, if we cut the pipe right above where the toilet waste stream joins, and shrink it to a 40mm size up to the ceiling, where it goes back to the 110mm size, using 2 of the items below?


the purpose of this would be to remove the pipe that takes up a good chunk of the room and gets in the way, but still allow enough air flow to be sucked in.
