My officials have been undertaking a technical examination of Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concession) Regulations, which govern the Drivers and Passengers with Disabilities Scheme, and it is now at an advanced stage.  I expect to be in a position to address certain limitations of the Scheme in legislation very shortly.
