Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of making the blue badge scheme enforceable on off-street local authority land.

The Blue Badge scheme is a national scheme, the scope and legal parameters of which (including the eligibility criteria) are set by the Government. Blue Badges are recognised throughout the UK and provide concessions which apply to on-street parking. There are no plans to change this.
