Written question asked by Lord Bowness (Conservative) on Tuesday, 21 April 2020, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 5 May 2020. It was answered by Lord True (Conservative) on Monday, 4 May 2020 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
UK Relations with EU
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord True on 23 March (HL2421), how many agreements have been reached in respect of mutual recognition of (1) driving licences, and (2) blue badges.
- Answer
-
The recognition of both driving licenses and blue badges is a member state competence and the Government is seeking to secure both with EU members via bilateral agreement. Discussions are ongoing in both of these policy areas. Recognition of disabled blue badges currently operates on a policy of goodwill among EU member states. The Government has asked UK local authorities to continue to recognise disabled blue badges and hopes that EU member states will reciprocate.
