HC Deb 17 February 1978 vol 944 c393W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many disabled persons' car badges are currently on issue; and what proportion of the total number of road vehicles this represents.

Mr. Horam

The latest available figures relate to June 1976, when a census was conducted. The total number of badges then issued under the orange badge scheme in Great Britain was 218,247. This represented about 1 per cent. of the total number of road vehicles.
