Blue Badge Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing standardised eligibility for the Blue Badge scheme across local authorities.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The standardised eligibility criteria for the Blue Badge scheme are published on GOV.UK. Local authorities are responsible for determining and implementing the administrative, assessment, and enforcement procedures which they believe are in accordance with the governing legislation.
The Blue Badge scheme is devolved in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland; each Devolved Administration is responsible for the scheme within their respective areas.
