HC Deb 15 November 1967 vol 754 cc417-8
35. Sir R. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if she will now give advice to local traffic and welfare authorities, in conjunction with the Minister of Health, on the implementation of the car badge scheme for disabled drivers.

Mr. John Morris

My right hon. Friend, together with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health, issued fresh circulars in September to local traffic and welfare authorities giving advice on the car badge scheme for disabled drivers.

Sir R. Russell

While thanking the hon. Gentleman for that answer, can he say what has resulted from these circulars being issued?

Mr. Morris

I understand that as a result of these circulars there is better uniformity in the discretion as regards the observance of the badges. A different mode of study is being adopted for Greater London, in that the G.L.C. is looking at its own arrangements and at what the practice is in the various boroughs.
