Lord Harrison

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their response to the Disabled Drivers Association's Baywatch Scheme which ensures that only blue badge holders occupy designated set-down and parking bays in tourism and leisure facilities. [HL4804]

Lord Davies of Oldham

The Government support the Baywatch campaign and have provided funding for the research which underpins it. Officials have worked closely with representatives of the campaign on their recent initiatives to raise awareness of disabled persons' parking bays in supermarket car parks. A report on the initiative has recently been submitted to the department which will be discussing with the campaign organisers how best to take it forward.
