Lord Bowness – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Bowness on 2016-10-17.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will seek to preserve the mutual recognition of disabled persons’ Blue Badges throughout the UK and EU in their negotiations to leave the EU.

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU, including the implications of preserving the mutual recognition of disabled persons’ Blue Badges throughout the UK and EU. Until we leave, EU law still applies, so EU rules in this area will continue to apply in the UK, alongside national rules.
