Blue Badge Scheme: Fraud
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people have been prosecuted for the illegal use of disability parking blue badges in the past two years.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport does not hold data about the number of prosecutions for illegal badges.
The Department for Transport sets the legislation that governs the scheme and provides guidance for local authorities who are solely responsible for administrating the scheme.
Current legislation provides local authorities with the means to tackle abuse of the Blue Badge scheme locally, such as the power to retain and cancel badges found to be misused.
