HC Deb 21 May 1986 vol 98 c202W
Dr. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to arrange for local authorities to issue temporary disabled parking discs to those who are temporarily disabled; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

No. Parliament approved the present Orange Badge scheme only after wide consultations. In order to maintain its value and effective operation, it is restricted to permanently disable(' people as those most in need of its benefits.
