BAYWATCH CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 211, tabled 27 November 2002 by Laura Moffatt (Labour). Signed by 44 members.

That this House commends the Baywatch Campaign set up by the British Polio Fellowship, the Disabled Drivers' Association, the Disabled Drivers Motor Club and the Newspaper Disability Now to encourage more protection of disabled parking bays in supermarket car parks from abuse by able bodied drivers; condemns the selfishness of able-bodied drivers in occupying disabled parking spaces; welcomes the initiative taken by ASDA, Safeway, Sainsbury's and Tesco to tackle this problem more effectively than in the past; and wishes the campaign every success in its efforts to eradicate a problem which causes unnecessary annoyance and inconvenience to disabled people.

Signatures by party: Labour 26, Liberal Democrat 11, Labour/Co-operative 3, Conservative 2, UUP 2.
