In exercise of powers conferred upon me by Section 92 ((as amended by section 36 of the Finance Act 2020 (No. 26 of 2020)) of the Finance Act 1989 (No. 10 of 1989), I am required to consult with the Minister for Health and with the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment in respect of any changes to regulations concerning the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme.

I am aware that the primary legislation as set out in Section 92 of the Finance Act of 1989 will need to be amended to reflect changes in functions of relevant Departments for which consultation is required, and I will consider this matter as part of this Year's Finance Bill.
