Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has discussed with the French Government negotiating acceptance of the UK Blue Badge in French car parks.
The UK Blue Badge scheme provides a range of concessions in respect of on-street parking. These do not apply to off-street car parks. Reciprocal arrangements discussed with other countries, including France, recognise that acceptance of the UK Blue Badge abroad will be based on that country’s disabled parking policy, which may not include off-street parking concessions.
