223. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to a campaign organised by a disability group (details supplied) to improve the availability and quality of parking bays for disabled users in local authority managed carparks and on street parking; if he plans to devise a national policy and or guidelines such that 5 % of total parking bay provision is to contain parking bays for disabled users; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer to the representation received by the Deputy from the Friends to Mobility/Disability Impaired, concerning the survey they carried out on the condition of disability parking facilities in his constituency.

As the provision of disability parking bays is a matter for each local authority the issues raised should be brought to the attention of the relevant county council for action as appropriate.
