Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has for the UK to continue to participate in the EU's blue badge scheme after the UK leaves the EU.

The Blue Badge scheme is a UK scheme, enshrined in national legislation, and will continue after the UK’s exit from the EU.

The Government recognises the benefits of mutual recognition of badges across the EU for UK citizens travelling to Europe. We are considering carefully all the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU, including the implications for the continued recognition of Blue Badges.
