	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>We have no plans to extend Blue Badge concessions to off-street parking. The scheme is designed to ensure that disabled people can find suitable parking on public roads – whether it be in bays, at meters or on yellow lines – close to where they need to go. Off-street parking is a completely different matter; these are often privately owned and their terms of use are a matter for the car park owners, but disabled parking bays are usually available.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 26/05/2016 13:43:07 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

The estimate of the effect of keeping fares lower as a result of BSOG was derived by using the National Bus Model, which combined assumptions based on the evidence available with actual data on passenger numbers, fares and service levels.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 16/03/2016 10:33:29 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
