Motability: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of motability cars handed back as a result of the introduction of telematics systems for younger drivers.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Department for Work and Pensions is responsible for the disability benefits that provide a passport to the Motability Scheme.
Motability Foundation is an independent charitable organisation and is wholly responsible for the terms and administration of the Scheme, including the use of the telematics system. Motability and the department continue to work closely to consider how the Scheme can utilise telematics and other systems to ensure it is used for its intended purpose to support disabled people and their transport needs. Data on telematics and cars recovered from the Scheme are a matter for Motability.
