PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Blue Badge Scheme (26 September 2014)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Graham Stuart (Conservative)
Answer
The Blue Badge criteria are devolved matters so the Department for Transport does not hold specific information on Scotland and Wales. I am aware of the schemes in those countries but have no plans to change eligibility in England. The regulations already provide that a local authority may issue a badge in respect of any permanent and substantial disability which causes inability to walk or very considerable difficulty in walking.
