Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to take steps to simplify the application process for a Blue Badge for organisations that are required to prove that a service user is entitled to a Blue Badge.

The current Blue Badge service contract will end on 31^st December 2018. The Department commissioned work in May 2017 to look at replacing and improving the current service. The detail of the online application process for the new, replacement service will be tested with users, including organisations, and driven by their needs.
