The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the number of fraudulent Blue Badges in circulation in (a) Stockport constituency, (b) Greater Manchester and (c) England.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The department does not collect data on the number of fraudulent Blue Badges in circulation. Local authorities are responsible for the enforcement of the scheme in their area and have been given powers to crack down on fraud and misuse, helping to protect the rights of those who rely on the Blue Badge scheme.
