The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the level of misuse of Motability Scheme vehicles in the last five years.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

Responsibility for the terms and administration of the Scheme, including identifying and tackling misuse of the Scheme, sits with Motability Foundation and its Board of Governors.

  

Any misuse of scheme vehicles is taken seriously and Motability Operations has a dedicated unit that works to prevent, detect and handle such cases, and take action where appropriate. Motability investigates the information it receives about misuse of scheme vehicles and works with a range of partners.
