Motability: Finance
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Friday 17th July 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the Autumn 2025 Budget on transport accessibility for disabled people through the Motability Scheme. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (Cabinet Office) (Jointly with HM Treasury) The Motability Scheme provides a vital lifeline to those who need it, however it historically benefitted from tax breaks which supported provision beyond the scheme’s core objectives, such as the lease of luxury cars. That is why at Budget 2025 the Government made tax changes to the scheme to ensure it delivers fairness for the taxpayer. Prior to Budget 2025, the Government engaged closely with the Motability Foundation to ensure the Scheme would continue to provide access to transport for its customers, including the provision of a range of affordable vehicles which suit customers’ varying needs. This means customers are still able to access a range of vehicles using only their disability benefit, in line with pre-Budget provision. Additionally, vehicles designed or substantially and permanently adapted for wheelchair and stretcher users were not impacted by tax changes. The Government consulted closely with the Motability Foundation charity to understand in depth how tax changes would impact the Motability Scheme and their customers. Our assessment of these impacts has been published on GOV.UK and can be found here: Motability Scheme: reforming tax reliefs - GOV.UK. |

Mohammed Al-Wahidi
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Monday 20th July 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations she has made to the Government of Israel regarding the killing of Palestinian aid official Mohammed al-Wahidi on 7 July 2026. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) (Jointly with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The targeting of aid workers in any circumstances is totally unacceptable. Gaza remains the deadliest place in the world for humanitarian operations, with over 500 aid workers killed since the start of the conflict. We have been clear that the Government of Israel must comply with its obligations to facilitate humanitarian assistance and ensure that aid workers are able to operate safely. |

Motability
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Tuesday 21st July 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the role of the Motability Scheme in supporting disabled people to access work, education and training. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government) (Equalities) The Motability Scheme is designed to address the transport requirements of individuals with disabilities in the UK and is a lifeline in enabling disabled people to remain mobile, live independently and access employment.
For customers who cannot afford essential costs or who require more complex adaptations, the Motability Foundation continues to provide means-tested grants to those most in need of financial assistance.
The Motability Foundation works towards its vision that “no disabled person should be disadvantaged by poor access to transport”. To achieve this, it delivers grant programmes and supports innovative initiatives that address areas beyond the Motability Scheme, where new solutions are needed to meet the evolving transport needs of disabled people. |

Motability: Rural Areas
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 22nd July 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the potential role of the Motability Scheme in supporting transport accessibility in areas with limited public transport provision. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government) (Equalities) Motability Foundation is a registered charity to help disabled people with their mobility and transport needs. Motability’s main focus is its ownership and oversight of the Motability Scheme. The Foundation also oversees delivery of grant programmes (including to other organisations) targeting areas outside the Motability scheme where solutions are required to meet the evolving transportation needs of disabled people.
The Foundation Community Transport Grant which was created to develop, improve and expand community transport provision awarded 11 grants at a cost of £4.2m in the financial year 2024/25 including to rural areas.
Additionally, the Scheme recognises that living in the most rural areas often means having to travel further to access everyday services so will provide 3,000 additional miles per year on to leases for certain customers. Motability Operations has used data from national Governments to identify the areas with limited access to essential services. The data looks at the typical travel time to services that people regularly rely on, including grocery shopping, healthcare and education.
The Motability Scheme is operated independently of Government. Decisions about grants, eligibility, lease terms, mileage allowances and support arrangements are matters for Motability. |
