These Regulations, which revoke the Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Exemptions for Disabled Persons) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”), concern certain Traffic Orders made by local authorities in Scotland under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. They provide that such Orders should include in certain cases an exemption from waiting prohibitions or restrictions for vehicles displaying a disabled person’s badge issued under section 21 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970. Regulation 1(2) revokes the 2000 Regulations. Regulation 3 explains what is meant by displaying a disabled person’s badge “in the relevant position”. Regulation 4 specifies those Orders to which the Regulations apply. Regulations 5, 6 and 7 set out those circumstances where an Order which includes or applies a waiting prohibition or restriction shall include or apply an exemption for any vehicle displaying in the relevant position a disabled person’s badge. Regulation 8 sets out those circumstances where an Order which prescribes charges to be paid or maximum waiting times shall include an exemption for any vehicle displaying in the relevant position a disabled person’s badge.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
