Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish a response to EDM 418 on British Airways job losses.
Answered by Kelly Tolhurst
We recognise that the recent news regarding job losses at British Airways will be very distressing for the airline’s employees and their families.
The aviation sector is essential to the UK economy, and we encourage firms to draw on the unprecedented package of measures we have made available to support them through this time. This includes schemes to raise capital, flexibilities with tax bills, and financial support for employees.

Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many children under the age of three have a blue parking badge in (a) England, (b) Scotland and (c) Wales.
Answered by Andrew Jones
This response only covers England because the Blue Badge scheme is devolved.
There are 2311 Blue Badges on issue to children in England under the age of three who are either dependent upon bulky medical equipment or need to be kept near a vehicle for emergency medical treatment.
We do not hold records for children between the ages of two and three who have been issued a Blue Badge under the general walking criterion as this criterion is open to anyone over the age of 2 years. Local authorities would have this data.
