Blue Badge Scheme: Local Government

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the prohibition on local authorities transferring Blue Badges between councils when a badge holder moves area on badge users, and whether she has plans to review this policy.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

There is no such prohibition. When a badge holder moves to a different council area, they can inform their new local authority which is able to request the information from their previous local authority. This information can be securely transferred via our Blue Badge Digital Service.
