Motability: Impact Assessments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department has undertaken an impact assessment for the (a) Motability Scheme and (b) Motability Operations.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Motability Scheme was scrutinised by a range of external bodies between 2018 and 2020, and a series of reports were produced:
- The Motability Scheme; Joint report by the Work and Pensions and Treasury Committees; May 2018;
- The Motability Scheme; National Audit Office report; December 2018; and
- The use of public funds in supporting the mobility needs of disabled people; Social Security Advisory Committee report; November 2020.
The government responded to each of these reports.
