Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her department has assessed how local authorities' interpretations of blue badge regulations differ.

The Department has not conducted an assessment of how local authorities' interpretations of Blue Badge regulations differ. The Department expects all local authorities to comply with the relevant Blue Badge legislation.

Within that framework, local authorities are responsible for determining and implementing the administrative, assessment, and enforcement procedures they consider to be in accordance with the governing legislation.
