Answer
The Government remains committed to confirming the status of UK issued Blue Badges for motorists visiting Europe.
Twenty countries have already committed to recognising Blue Badges and are listed on gov.uk: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/blue-badge-using-it-in-the-eu/using-a-blue-badge-in-the-european-union
Discussions are yet to conclude with a number of countries. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the progress of discussions while they are ongoing.
