Blue Badge Scheme
(asked on 13th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits enabling people with autism to qualify as Blue Badge holders.
This question was answered on 23rd April 2018
The Department met the National Autistic Society prior to going out to public consultation in early 2018 on whether to extend the Blue Badge scheme to people with non-physical disabilities whose health or safety may be at risk when making a journey. Responses to the consultation are being analysed, and a decision will be made later this year.
