Transport Act 2000

Transport Act 2000 An Act to make provision about transport. Be it enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:— The Secretary of State must exercise his functions under this Chapter so as to maintain a high standard of safety in the provision of air traffic services; and that duty is to have priority over the application of subsections (2) to (5). The Secretary of State must exercise his functions under this Chapter in the manner he thinks best calculated— to further the interests of operators and owners of aircraft, owners and managers of aerodromes, persons travelling in aircraft and persons with rights in property carried in them; to promote efficiency and economy on the part of licence holders; to secure that licence holders will not find it unduly difficult to finance activities authorised by their licences. The only interests to be considered under subsection (2)(a) are interests regarding the range, availability, continuity, cost and quality of air traffic services. The reference in subsection (2)(a) to furthering interests includes a reference to furthering them (where the Secretary of State thinks it appropriate) by promoting competition in the provision of air traffic services. If in a particular case there is a conflict in the application of the provisions of subsections (2) to (4), in relation to that case the Secretary of State must apply them in the manner he thinks is reasonable having regard to them as a whole. The Secretary of State must exercise his functions under this Chapter so as to impose on licence holders the minimum restrictions which are consistent with the exercise of those functions. This section does not apply to the exercise of the Secretary of State’s functions under section 38. The CAA must exercise its functions under this Chapter so as to maintain a high standard of safety in the provision of air traffic services; and that duty is to have priority over the application of subsections (2) to (5). The CAA must exercise its functions under this Chapter in the manner it thinks best calculated— to secure that licence holders will not find it unduly difficult to finance activities authorised by their licences; to take account of any international obligations of the United Kingdom notified to the CAA by the Secretary of State (whatever the time or purpose of the notification); to take account of any guidance on environmental objectives given to the CAA by the Secretary of State after the coming into force of this section. The reference in subsection (2)(a) to furthering interests includes a reference to furthering them (where the CAA thinks it appropriate) by promoting competition in the provision of air traffic services. If in a particular case there is a conflict in the application of the provisions of subsections (2) to (4), in relation to that case the CAA must apply them in the manner it thinks is reasonable having regard to them as a whole. The CAA must exercise its functions under this Chapter so as to impose on licence holders the minimum restrictions which are consistent with the exercise of those functions. Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (CAA’s general objectives) does not apply in relation to the performance by the CAA of its functions under this Chapter. A person commits an offence if he provides air traffic services in respect of a managed area. But subsection (1) is subject to subsections (3) to (5). Subsection (1) does not apply if the person— is authorised by an exemption to provide the services, or acts as an employee or agent of a person who is authorised by an exemption to provide the services. holds a licence authorising him to provide the services, or acts as an employee or agent of a person who is authorised by a licence to provide the services. Subsection (1) does not apply if the services are provided by the CAA in pursuance of directions under section 66(1). For the purposes of this section— air traffic services are to be treated as provided at the place from which they are provided; air traffic services may be provided in respect of a managed area whether or not the aircraft concerned is in that area when they are provided. A person who commits an offence under this section is liable— on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum; on conviction on indictment, to a fine. No proceedings may be started in England and Wales or Northern Ireland for an offence under this section except by or on behalf of— the Secretary of State, or the CAA acting with his consent. The Secretary of State may by order grant an exemption authorising the provision of air traffic services in respect of a managed area. An exemption— may be granted to a particular person or to persons of a specified description or to all persons; may be granted in respect of air traffic services of one or more specified descriptions; may be granted in respect of air traffic services provided in specified circumstances; may be granted in respect of one or more specified areas (any of which may consist of all or part of a managed area); may be granted subject to such conditions as may be specified. An exemption granted to persons of a specified description must be published in such manner as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons of that description. An exemption continues in force for the period specified in or determined by or under it, unless it previously ceases to have effect in accordance with its provisions. A licence may be granted to a company authorising it to provide air traffic services in respect of a managed area. A licence— may be granted in respect of one or more specified areas (any of which may consist of all or part of a managed area). A licence is not valid unless it is in writing. A licence is not valid unless it is granted to a company ... that is limited by shares. A licence continues in force for the period specified in it or determined by or under it, unless it previously ceases to have effect in accordance with its provisions. A licence may not be transferred. A licence may be granted by— the Secretary of State after consulting the CAA, the CAA with the consent of the Secretary of State, or the CAA in accordance with a general authority given by the Secretary of State. A general authority may be given on condition that the CAA complies with specified requirements (whether as to consulting the Secretary of State or obtaining his consent before granting a licence, as to the provisions to be included in a licence, or otherwise). An application for a licence— must be made in the prescribed manner; must contain or be accompanied by prescribed information; must be accompanied by the application fee (if any); must, if the licence authority requires, be published by the applicant in the prescribed manner and within a period notified to it by the licence authority. On an application the licence authority may grant or refuse the licence. Before granting or refusing a licence the licence authority must— publish a notice in such manner as the authority thinks appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons likely to be affected by the grant or refusal, serve a copy of the notice on the applicant, and consider any representations made in accordance with the notice (and not withdrawn). The notice must— state either that the licence authority proposes to grant the licence or that it proposes to refuse it and (in either case) the reasons for so proposing, and state the period (not less than 28 days starting with the date of publication of the notice) within which representations may be made regarding the proposed grant or refusal. As soon as practicable after granting a licence the grantor must send a copy— to the CAA, if the grantor is the Secretary of State; to the Secretary of State, if the grantor is the CAA. The following requirements do not apply in relation to licences which need to be granted before the coming into force of section 3— the requirement to consult imposed by subsection (1)(a); the requirements imposed by subsection (3); the requirements imposed by subsections (5) and (6). The licence authority is the Secretary of State or the CAA (depending on the person to whom it falls to grant the licence). The application fee is— the prescribed fee, if the licence authority is the Secretary of State; the charge determined under a scheme or regulations made under section 11 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982, if the licence authority is the CAA. “Prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. A licence may include such provisions as the licence authority thinks are necessary or expedient; and a provision need not relate to services authorised by the licence. In particular, provision of the following kinds may be included— provision requiring the licence holder to enter into an agreement for a purpose specified in the licence and provision for determining the terms of the agreement; provision requiring the licence holder to comply with any requirements imposed at any time (by directions or otherwise) by a person with respect to any matter specified, or of a description specified, in the licence; provision requiring the licence holder, except in so far as a person consents to its doing or not doing them, not to do or to do such things as may be specified, or of a description specified, in the licence; provision requiring the licence holder to refer to a person for approval or determination such matters as may be specified, or of a description specified, in the licence. A reference in subsection (2) to a person is to— a person specified, or of a description specified, in the licence for the purpose concerned, or if the licence so provides, a person nominated for the purpose concerned by a person falling within paragraph (a); and any of those persons may be the licence authority or some other person. A licence may include provisions requiring a payment on its grant or payments during its currency (or both)— of an amount or amounts specified in the licence or determined by or under it; to a person or persons specified in the licence or determined by or under it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Such provisions as the licence authority thinks fit may be expressed as conditions. A licence condition may include provision for its modification only if it specifies or describes— the circumstances in which it may be modified, the types of modification that may be made, and the period or periods in which it may be modified. If a licence condition includes such a provision, it may be modified in accordance with that provision or in accordance with the provision made by this Chapter about modifying licence conditions. A term of a licence may be modified only in accordance with the provision made by this Chapter about modifying terms of a licence. While a licence is in force its holder— must secure that a safe system for the provision of authorised air traffic services in respect of a licensed area is provided, developed and maintained; must take all reasonable steps to secure that the system is also efficient and co-ordinated; must take all reasonable steps to secure that the demand for authorised air traffic services in respect of a licensed area is met; must have regard, in providing, developing and maintaining the system, to the demands which are likely to be placed on it in the future. A licensed area is an area in respect of which the licence authorises its holder to provide air traffic services. Authorised services are services of the description specified in the licence as the description of services which the holder of the licence is authorised to provide. For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) a system for the provision of services is safe if (and only if) in providing the services the person who provides them complies with such requirements as are imposed by Air Navigation Orders with regard to their provision. An Air Navigation Order is an Order in Council under section 60 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982. If a notice given by the CAA to a licence holder so provides, such air traffic services as are specified in the notice are to be treated as not being authorised services for the purposes of section 8 in its application to that holder. A notice under subsection (1) may specify the air traffic services by reference to part of a licensed area. A notice under this section may be modified or revoked by a further notice given by the CAA to the holder concerned. No action is to lie in respect of a failure by a licence holder to perform— a duty imposed by section 8; a licence condition. But subsection (1) does not affect— a right of action in respect of an act or omission which takes place in the course of the provision of air traffic services; the power to give a contravention notice; the power to give an enforcement order or an urgent enforcement order, a duty to comply with the order and a power to bring proceedings in respect of the duty; the power to impose a penalty under paragraph 9 or 10 of Schedule B1. The CAA may modify a licence by modifying the licence conditions. Subsection (1) is subject to section 11B. The Secretary of State may modify a licence— by modifying any term specifying the period for which the licence continues in force or any term by or under which that period is determined; by modifying a prescribed term. In this section “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. Before modifying a licence in reliance on section 11, the modifying authority must— publish a notice in relation to the proposed modification; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in subsection (2); consider any representations about the proposed modification that are made in the period specified in the notice (and not withdrawn). The persons are— the licence holder; any owners or operators of aircraft, or any bodies representing them, that the modifying authority considers appropriate; any owners or managers of aerodromes, or any bodies representing them, that the modifying authority considers appropriate; any bodies representing users of air transport services that the modifying authority considers appropriate; where the modifying authority is the CAA, the Secretary of State; where the modifying authority is the Secretary of State, the CAA. The notice under subsection (1) must— state that the modifying authority proposes to modify the licence; specify the proposed modification; give the modifying authority's reasons for the proposed modification; state the effect of the proposed modification; specify a reasonable period for making representations. If, after publishing the notice under subsection (1), the modifying authority decides not to make the modification in reliance on section 11, the modifying authority must— publish a notice, giving its reasons; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in subsection (2). If, after complying with subsections (1) to (3) in relation to a modification, the modifying authority decides to modify a licence in reliance on section 11, the modifying authority must— publish a notice in relation to the modification; The modifying authority is not to be treated as having complied with subsections (1) to (3) in relation to a modification of a licence if the modification differs significantly from the modification proposed in the notice under subsection (1). The notice under subsection (5) must— specify the modification; specify the date from which the modification is to have effect (subject to paragraphs 6 to 8 of Schedule A1); give the modifying authority's reasons for the modification; state the effect of the modification; state how it has taken account of any representations made in the period specified in the notice under subsection (1); state the reasons for any differences between the modification and that set out in the notice under subsection (1). The date specified under subsection (7)(b)— in the case of a modification of a licence condition, must fall after the end of the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the notice under subsection (5) was published (subject to paragraphs 6 to 8 of Schedule A1); otherwise, must fall after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with that day. In this section “modifying authority”— in relation to a modification of a licence condition, means the CAA; in relation to any other modification, means the Secretary of State. The CAA must not make a proposed modification if, within the period specified under section 11A(3)(e), the Secretary of State directs it not to do so. The CAA must— publish a direction given to it under subsection (1); send a copy of the direction to the persons listed in subsection (3). any owners or operators of aircraft, or any bodies representing them, that the CAA considers appropriate; any owners or managers of aerodromes, or any bodies representing them, that the CAA considers appropriate; any bodies representing users of air transport services that the CAA considers appropriate. Where the CMA or (as the case may be) the Secretary of State (in this section “the relevant authority”) makes a relevant order, the order may also provide for the modification of the licence conditions to such extent as may appear to the relevant authority to be requisite or expedient for the purpose of giving effect to, or taking account of, any provision made by the order. In subsection (1) above “relevant order” means— an order under section 75, 83 or 84 of, or paragraph 5, 10 or 11 of Schedule 7 to, the 2002 Act where— one or more than one of the enterprises which have, or may have, ceased to be distinct enterprises was engaged in the provision of air traffic services; or one or more than one of the enterprises which will or may cease to be distinct enterprises is engaged in the provision of air traffic services; or an order under section 160 or 161 of that Act where the feature, or combination of features, of the market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services which prevents, restricts or distorts competition relates to the provision of air traffic services. As soon as practicable after making modifications under this section the relevant authority must send a copy of them to the licence holder and a copy to the CAA. Expressions used in subsection (2) above and in Part 3 or (as the case may be) Part 4 of the 2002 Act have the same meanings in that subsection as in that Part. The 2002 Act is the Enterprise Act 2002. An appeal lies to the CMA against a decision by the CAA to modify a licence condition under section 11(1). An appeal may be brought under this section only by— the licence holder, an owner or operator of an aircraft whose interests are materially affected by the decision, or an owner or manager of a prescribed aerodrome whose interests are materially affected by the decision. “Prescribed aerodrome” means an aerodrome of a description prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. An appeal may be brought under this section only with the permission of the CMA. An application for permission to appeal under this section may be made only by a person who, if permission is granted, will be entitled to bring the appeal. The CMA may refuse permission to appeal under this section only on one of the following grounds— that the appeal is brought for reasons that are trivial or vexatious; that the appeal does not have a reasonable prospect of success; that subsection (7) is satisfied. This subsection is satisfied if the appeal is brought— against a decision that relates entirely to a matter remitted to the CAA following an earlier appeal under this section, and on grounds that were considered, or could have been raised by the current applicant or a relevant connected person, as part of the earlier appeal. In subsection (7) “relevant connected person”, in relation to an applicant, means a person who was connected to the applicant at any time during the consideration of the earlier appeal by the CMA. The CMA may allow an appeal under section 19A only to the extent that it is satisfied that the decision appealed against was wrong on one or more of the following grounds— that the decision was based on an error of fact; that the decision was wrong in law; that an error was made in the exercise of a discretion. Where it does not allow an appeal under section 19A, the CMA must confirm the decision appealed against. Where it allows an appeal under section 19A, the CMA must do one or more of the following— quash the decision appealed against; remit the matter that is the subject of the decision appealed against to the CAA for reconsideration and decision in accordance with this Chapter and any directions given by the CMA; substitute its own decision for that of the CAA. Where it allows only part of an appeal under section 19A— subsection (2) applies in relation to the part of the decision appealed against in respect of which the appeal is allowed, and subsection (1) applies in respect of the rest of that decision. Where the CMA substitutes its own decision for that of the CAA, the CMA may give directions to— the CAA, and the licence holder. The CMA must not give a direction under this section that requires a person to do anything that the person would not have the power to do apart from the direction. A direction given by the CMA under this section to a person other than the CAA is enforceable— in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, as if it were an order of the High Court; in Scotland, as if it were an order of the Court of Session. The CMA must determine an appeal under section 19A within the period of 24 weeks beginning with the day on which the CAA published, in accordance with section 11A, the notice of the decision that is the subject of the appeal. This is subject to subsections (2) to (5). The CMA may extend the appeal period by not more than 12 weeks if satisfied that there are good reasons for doing so. The CMA may extend the appeal period only once in reliance on subsection (2). The CMA may extend the appeal period by any period that it considers appropriate if— there is an appeal to the Competition Appeal Tribunal under this Chapter which the CMA considers may be relevant to the appeal under section 19A, and the appeal to the Tribunal has not been determined or withdrawn. The CMA may extend the appeal period more than once in reliance on subsection (4). If the CMA extends the appeal period it must— publish a notice stating the new time limit for determining the appeal; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in subsection (7). Those persons are— the holder of the licence that is the subject of the appeal; if the appeal was brought by someone other than the licence holder, the appellant; any other person with a qualifying interest in the decision that is the subject of the appeal (see paragraph 27(3) of Schedule A1); any owners or operators of aircraft that the CMA considers appropriate; any owners or managers of prescribed aerodromes (within the meaning given in section 19A(3)) that the CMA considers appropriate; the CAA. The Secretary of State may by regulations modify the periods of time specified in this section. In this section “appeal period”, in relation to an appeal under section 19A, means the period allowed for determining the appeal. A determination made by the CMA on an appeal under section 19A— must be contained in an order made by the CMA, and takes effect at the time specified in the order or determined in accordance with the order. The order must set out the reasons for the determination. The CMA must— publish the order as soon as practicable after the determination is made; send a copy of the order to the persons listed in subsection (4). if the appeal is brought by a person other than the licence holder, the appellant; The CMA may exclude from publication under subsection (3) any information that it is satisfied is— commercial information the disclosure of which would or might, in the opinion of the CMA, significantly harm the legitimate business interests of an undertaking to which it relates, or information relating to the private affairs of an individual the disclosure of which would or might, in the opinion of the CMA, significantly harm the individual's interests. The CAA must take any steps that it considers necessary for it to comply with the order. The steps must be taken— if a time is specified in the order or is to be determined in accordance with the order, within that time; otherwise, within a reasonable time. Schedule A1 makes further provision in respect of appeals under section 19A. In carrying out the functions listed in subsection (3), the CMA must have regard to the matters in respect of which duties are imposed on the CAA by section 2. Those functions are— deciding an application for permission to appeal under section 19A; deciding an application under Schedule A1 for permission to intervene in an appeal; determining an appeal under section 19A, including taking decisions and giving directions described in section 19C. Except where Schedule A1 provides otherwise, the functions of the CMA with respect to an appeal under section 19A are to be carried out on behalf of the CMA by a group constituted for the purpose, by the chair of the CMA, under Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. Schedule B1 makes provision for— the enforcement of the duties imposed by section 8 and licence conditions, and connected appeals. Schedule C1 makes provision— to enable the CAA to obtain information for the purposes of carrying out its functions under section 34 and Schedule B1, for enforcement in connection with the exercise of those powers, and for connected appeals. The CAA may not impose a penalty on a person under paragraph 9 or 10 of Schedule B1 or paragraph 2, 3 or 4 of Schedule C1 for an act or omission if it has imposed a penalty on the person under one of those provisions in respect of the same act or omission. Subsection (1) does not prevent the CAA imposing more than one penalty on a person in respect of acts or omissions that take place at different times or over different periods. This section applies if all or part of a penalty imposed on a person under this Chapter is not paid within the period specified in the notice given in respect of the penalty under paragraph 12 of Schedule B1 or paragraph 6 of Schedule C1. The unpaid balance carries interest from time to time at the rate for the time being specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838. The CAA may recover from any person as a debt due to the CAA— the unpaid balance, and any interest on the penalty that has not been paid. Any sums received by the CAA by way of a penalty or interest under this Chapter must be paid into the Consolidated Fund. The CAA must prepare and publish a statement of its policy with respect to— imposing penalties under this Chapter, and determining their amount. The CAA may revise the statement of policy and, if it does so, it must publish the revised statement. When imposing a penalty under this Chapter, or determining the amount of such a penalty, the CAA must have regard to the last statement of policy published before the act or omission in respect of which the penalty is to be imposed. When preparing or revising a statement, the CAA must consult any persons that it considers appropriate. No licence company may be wound up voluntarily. No application may be made to a court for an administration order under Part II of the 1986 Act in relation to a licence company, and— anything purporting to be such an application is of no effect; no administration order may be made under that Part in relation to a licence company. No step may be taken by a person to enforce any security over the property of a licence company unless the person has given to the Secretary of State and the CAA at least 14 days’ notice of his intention to take the step. No application for the winding up of a licence company may be made by a person other than the Secretary of State unless the person has given to the Secretary of State and the CAA at least 14 days’ notice of his intention to make the application. In subsection (3) “security” and “property” have the same meanings as in Parts I to VII of the 1986 Act. In this section and sections 27 to 30— references to a licence company are to a company which holds a licence; references to the 1986 Act are to the Insolvency Act 1986. This section applies if an application is made to any court for the winding up of a licence company. The Secretary of State and the CAA are entitled to be heard by the court. The court must not make a winding up order or appoint a provisional liquidator. But if the court is satisfied that it would be appropriate to make a winding up order if the company were not a licence company, it must instead make an air traffic administration order. The Secretary of State and the CAA may propose a person to manage the company’s affairs, business and property while an air traffic administration order is in force; and if they do the court must appoint that person. A reference to the court is to the court which (but for this section) would have jurisdiction to wind up the company. The court may make an air traffic administration order in relation to a licence company if— an application by petition is made by the Secretary of State or by the CAA with his consent, and the court is satisfied that one or more of the following four conditions is satisfied. The first condition is that the company is or is likely to be unable to pay its debts. The second condition is that— the Secretary of State certifies that but for section 27 it would be appropriate for him to petition for the company’s winding up under section 124A of the 1986 Act (petition following inspectors’ report etc), and but for section 27 it would be just and equitable (as mentioned in section 124A) for the company to be wound up. The third condition is that— there has been or is or is likely to be a contravention by the company of a section 8 duty, no notice of withdrawal or revocation has been given under paragraph 1(8), 4(2) or 7(2) of Schedule B1 in relation to the contravention or apprehended contravention, and the contravention or apprehended contravention is serious enough to make it inappropriate for the company to continue to hold the licence concerned. The fourth condition is that— an enforcement order or an urgent enforcement order has been made or confirmed in relation to a section 8 duty or a licence condition, the order is not the subject of an appeal under section 19A, and there has been or is or is likely to be such a contravention of the order by the company as to make it inappropriate for it to continue to hold the licence concerned. For the purposes of subsection (2) a company is unable to pay its debts if it is deemed to be unable to do so under section 123 of the 1986 Act. In subsections (4) and (5)— “section 8 duty” means a duty imposed on a licence holder by section 8; “licence condition” means a condition of a licence holder's licence. A reference to the court is to the court which (but for section 27) would have jurisdiction to wind up the company. An air traffic administration order made under section 27 or 28 is an order directing that in the period while the order is in force the company’s affairs, business and property are to be managed by a person appointed by the court— for the achievement of the following two purposes, and in a manner which protects the interests of the company’s members and creditors. The first purpose is— the transfer to another company, as a going concern, of so much of the licence company’s undertaking as it is necessary to transfer to ensure that its licensed activities may be properly carried out, or the transfer to different companies of different parts of the licence company’s undertaking, as going concerns, where the parts together constitute so much of its undertaking as is described in paragraph (a). The second purpose is the carrying on, pending the transfer, of the licence company’s licensed activities. A reference to a licence company’s licensed activities is to the activities which the licence concerned authorises the company to carry out. In subsection (1) “business” and “property” have the same meanings as in the 1986 Act. The reference in subsection (1) to the court is to the court making the order. A petition under section 28 above cannot be withdrawn except with the court’s leave. Section 9(4) and (5) of the 1986 Act (court’s powers) apply on the hearing of a petition under section 28 above as they apply on the hearing of a petition for an administration order. Section 10(1), (2), (4) and (5) of the 1986 Act (effect of petition) apply in the case of a petition under section 28 above as if— the reference in subsection (1) to an administration order were to an air traffic administration order; the reference in subsection (1)(c) to proceedings included a reference to proceedings under or for the purposes of Schedule B1 to this Act; in subsection (1)(c) after “its property” there were inserted “ , and no right of re-entry or forfeiture may be enforced against the company in respect of any land, ”; subsection (2)(b) and (c) were omitted. Schedules 1 and 2 contain provisions relating to air traffic administration orders. The power given by section 411 of the 1986 Act to make rules applies for the purpose of giving effect to the air traffic administration order provisions as it applies for the purpose of giving effect to Parts I to VII of that Act, but taking references to those Parts as references to those provisions. The air traffic administration order provisions are sections 27 to 29, this section and Schedules 1 and 2. The reference in subsection (1) to the court is to the court to which the application by petition is made. If an air traffic administration order is in force in relation to a company the Secretary of State may— make grants or loans to the company of such sums as he thinks appropriate to facilitate the achievement of the order’s purposes; agree to indemnify the air traffic administrator in respect of liabilities incurred and loss or damage sustained by him in connection with carrying out his functions under the order. The Secretary of State may guarantee, in such manner and on such terms as he thinks fit, the repayment of the principal of, the payment of interest on and the discharge of any other financial obligation in connection with any sum borrowed from any person by a company in relation to which an air traffic administration order is in force when the guarantee is given. The terms on which a grant is made under this section may require all or part of it to be repaid to the Secretary of State if there is a contravention of the other terms on which it is made. A loan made under this section must be repaid to the Secretary of State at such times and by such methods, and interest must be paid to him at such rates and times, as may be specified in directions given by him from time to time. Subsections (3) and (4) do not prejudice any provision applied in relation to the company by Schedule 1. A grant, loan, agreement to indemnify, guarantee or direction under this section requires the Treasury’s consent. The air traffic administrator is the person appointed by the court to achieve the purposes of the air traffic administration order. This section applies to a guarantee given under section 31. Immediately after a guarantee is given the Secretary of State must lay a statement of it before each House of Parliament. If a sum is paid out for fulfilling a guarantee, as soon as possible after the end of each relevant financial year the Secretary of State must lay a statement relating to the sum before each House of Parliament. If any sums are paid out for fulfilling a guarantee the borrowing company must make to the Secretary of State at such times and in such manner as may be specified in directions given by him from time to time— payments of such amounts as he may specify in such directions in or towards repayment of the sums paid out, and payments of interest at such rate as he may specify in such directions on what is outstanding in respect of sums paid out. Subsection (4) does not prejudice any provision applied in relation to the borrowing company by Schedule 1. A direction under this section requires the Treasury’s consent. Relevant financial years are financial years starting with that in which the sum is paid out and ending with that in which all liability in respect of the principal of the sum and interest on it is finally discharged. The borrowing company is the company which borrowed the sums in respect of which the guarantee was given. Schedule 3 contains provisions relating to Northern Ireland. A person may make a representation to the CAA about an alleged or apprehended contravention of a section 8 duty or a licence condition. Where a representation is made to the CAA, the CAA may— consider the representation; investigate the alleged or apprehended contravention. A section 8 duty is a duty imposed on a licence holder by section 8. The CAA must compile and maintain a register for the purposes of this Chapter. The register must be kept at such premises and in such form as the CAA decides. The CAA must cause these matters to be entered in the register— the provisions of every exemption; the provisions of every licence; every modification of the licence conditions; every revocation or surrender of a licence; the provisions of every requirement or determination made or direction, consent or approval given under a licence; the terms of every notice given under section 9; the terms of every contravention notice; the terms of every withdrawal of a contravention notice; the terms of every enforcement order; the terms of every urgent enforcement order that has been confirmed; the terms of every modification or revocation of an enforcement order or urgent enforcement order. The duty in subsection (3) does not extend to anything of which the CAA is unaware. So far as practicable the CAA must secure the exclusion from the register of any matter relating to the affairs of a person if the CAA thinks its inclusion would or might seriously and prejudicially affect the person’s interests. If the Secretary of State thinks that entry of anything in the register would be against the public interest or any person’s commercial interests, he may give a direction to the CAA requiring the CAA not to enter it. The CAA must secure that the contents of the register are available for inspection by the public during such hours as may be specified in an order made by the Secretary of State. If requested by any person to do so the CAA must supply him with a copy (certified to be true) of the register or of an extract from it. But subsection (8) does not apply if a charge required by a scheme or regulations made under section 11 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 is not paid. Schedule 4 gives licence holders powers in relation to land. Schedule 5 contains provisions treating licence holders as statutory undertakers. The Secretary of State may give to a licence holder or to licence holders generally such directions of a general character as he thinks are necessary or expedient— in the interests of national security, or in the interests of encouraging or maintaining the United Kingdom’s relations with another country or territory. The Secretary of State may give to a licence holder a direction requiring it to do or not to do a particular thing, if the Secretary of State thinks it necessary or expedient to give the direction in the interests of national security. The Secretary of State may give to a licence holder a direction requiring it— to do or not to do a particular thing in connection with anything authorised by the licence, or to secure that a particular thing is done or not done in connection with anything authorised by the licence, if the Secretary of State thinks it necessary or expedient to give the direction in order to discharge or facilitate the discharge of an international obligation of the United Kingdom. In exercising his powers under subsections (1) to (3) the Secretary of State must have regard to the need to maintain a high standard of safety in the provision of air traffic services. In so far as a direction under this section conflicts with the requirements of section 93 or of an order under section 94, the direction is to be disregarded. In so far as a direction under this section conflicts with the requirements of an enactment or instrument other than section 93 or an order under section 94, the requirements are to be disregarded. Before giving a direction under this section to a particular licence holder (as opposed to licence holders generally) the Secretary of State must consult it. The Secretary of State must send a copy of a direction under this section to the CAA. The Secretary of State must lay before each House of Parliament a copy of a direction under this section unless he thinks its disclosure is against the interests of national security or the interests of the United Kingdom’s relations with another country or territory or the commercial interests of any person. A person must not disclose, and is not required by any enactment or otherwise to disclose, a direction given or other thing done by virtue of this section if the Secretary of State notifies him that he thinks disclosure is against the interests of national security or the interests of the United Kingdom’s relations with another country or territory or the commercial interests of any person (other than the person notified). A person commits an offence if— without reasonable excuse he contravenes or fails to comply with a direction under this section, or he makes a disclosure in contravention of subsection (10). on conviction on indictment, to a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both. The Secretary of State may give such directions as he thinks are necessary or expedient— to prevent or deal with noise, vibration, pollution or other disturbance attributable to aircraft used for the purpose of civil aviation; to limit or mitigate the effects of such noise, vibration, pollution or disturbance. Directions under this section may be given to— a licence holder or licence holders generally; a person who is authorised by an exemption to provide air traffic services (an authorised person) or authorised persons generally. A direction under this section may be of a general character or may require a licence holder or an authorised person to do or not to do a particular thing. A direction under this section may include provision requiring persons to have regard to guidance which relates to the environment and which the Secretary of State may issue from time to time. In so far as a direction under this section conflicts with the requirements of section 38 or 93 or of an order under section 94, the direction is to be disregarded. In so far as a direction under this section conflicts with the requirements of an enactment or instrument other than section 38 or 93 or an order under section 94, the requirements are to be disregarded. Before giving a direction under this section to a particular licence holder or authorised person (as opposed to licence holders or authorised persons generally) requiring him to do or not to do a particular thing, the Secretary of State must consult— that licence holder or authorised person; This section defines these expressions (here listed alphabetically) for the purposes of this Chapter— aerodrome; air transport service; the CMA; contravention; contravention notice; enforcement order; exemption; licence; licence condition; licence holder; managed area; manager of an aerodrome; modification. notice; publication; representation; term of licence; urgent enforcement order. An aerodrome is an aerodrome as defined in section 105(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982; and a manager of an aerodrome is a person who is in charge of it or holds a licence granted in respect of it by virtue of section 60 of that Act (Chicago Convention, regulation of air navigation etc). These are managed areas— the United Kingdom; any area which is outside the United Kingdom but in respect of which the United Kingdom has undertaken under international arrangements to provide air traffic services. An exemption is an exemption under this Chapter. A licence is a licence under this Chapter, and references to a licence holder must be construed accordingly. A licence condition is a provision of a licence which is expressed as a condition. A term of a licence is a provision of a licence which is not a licence condition. “Modification” includes addition, alteration and omission, and cognate expressions are to be construed accordingly. “Air transport service” and “user”, in relation to such services, have the meaning given in section 69(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 2012 (air transport services). “The CMA” is the Competition and Markets Authority. References in this Chapter to a notice are to a notice in writing. Where a person is required to publish something by this Chapter, the person must publish it in whatever form and manner the person considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons likely to be affected by it. A representation includes an objection. A contravention includes a failure to comply, and related expressions are to be read accordingly. A contravention notice is a notice under paragraph 1 of Schedule B1. An enforcement order is an order under paragraph 3 of Schedule B1. An urgent enforcement order is an order under paragraph 5 of Schedule B1. For the purposes of this Chapter one person is connected to another if they are group undertakings in relation to each other. “Group undertaking” has the same meaning as in the Companies Acts (see section 1161 of the Companies Act 2006). The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about when one person is connected with another for the purposes of this Chapter, including provision amending or otherwise modifying subsections (1) and (2). For the purposes of this Chapter a transfer scheme is a scheme which contains provisions falling within one or more of subsections (2) to (8). Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the CAA’s property, rights or liabilities or of all or part of its undertaking to any of the following— the Secretary of State; a company which is wholly owned by the Crown; a company which is wholly owned by the CAA; a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company falling within paragraph (b) or (c). Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the property, rights or liabilities of a company (the transferor) which is wholly owned by the CAA or of all or part of the transferor’s undertaking to any of the following— the CAA; a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company falling within paragraph (c) or (d).

Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the property, rights or liabilities of a company (the transferor) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company wholly owned by the CAA, or of all or part of the transferor’s undertaking, to any of the following— Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the property, rights or liabilities of a company (the transferor) which is wholly owned by the Crown but which was wholly owned by the CAA on the coming into force of this section, or of all or part of the transferor’s undertaking, to any of the following— a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the transferor. Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the property, rights or liabilities of a company (the transferor) which is wholly owned by the Crown, or of all or part of the transferor’s undertaking, to the CAA. Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the property, rights or liabilities of a company (the transferor) in circumstances where the transferor is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company (the holding company) wholly owned by the Crown and the holding company was wholly owned by the CAA on the coming into force of this section, or of all or part of the transferor’s undertaking, to any of the following— a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company falling within paragraph (a). Provisions falling within this subsection are ones for the transfer of any of the property, rights or liabilities of a company (the transferor) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company wholly owned by the Crown, or of all or part of the transferor’s undertaking, to the CAA. To the extent that a scheme provides for the transfer of all or part of an undertaking, references in the following provisions of this Chapter to property, rights and liabilities are to the undertaking or part (including property, rights and liabilities falling within it). The things which may be transferred by a transfer scheme include— anything which the transferor would not otherwise be capable of transferring or assigning; anything to which the transferor may become entitled or subject after the scheme is made and before it comes into force; anything situated anywhere in the United Kingdom or elsewhere; anything subsisting under an enactment; anything subsisting under the law of any part of the United Kingdom or of any country or territory outside the United Kingdom. A scheme may divide any property, rights or liabilities of a transferor and in connection with the division may— create for a transferor or transferee an interest in any property to which the scheme relates; create new rights and liabilities as between a transferor and a transferee with respect to any property to which the scheme relates; in connection with any provision made by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b), make incidental provision as to the interests, rights and liabilities of other persons with respect to any property to which the scheme relates. A scheme may impose obligations on a transferor and transferee to take any necessary steps to secure that the following have effect— any interest, right or liability created by virtue of subsection (2)(a) or (b); any incidental provision made by virtue of subsection (2)(c). A scheme may— impose on a transferor or transferee an obligation to enter into a specified written agreement with a specified person or persons (who may be or include a transferor or transferee); impose on a transferor or transferee an obligation to execute a specified instrument in favour of a specified person or persons (who may be or include a transferor or transferee); make provision (for instance, where part of particular property is transferred) that rights and liabilities specified or identified in the scheme are enforceable by or against a transferor or transferee (or both). A scheme may make such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provisions as the scheme’s maker thinks are appropriate. After consulting the CAA the Secretary of State may give a direction requiring it to make a transfer scheme. A direction may specify how a scheme is to be made and the time within which it is to be made and submitted to the Secretary of State (as well as what is to be transferred, the transferor and the transferee). In so far as a direction conflicts with the requirements of an enactment or instrument, the requirements are to be disregarded. No direction may be given under this section before the end of the period of three months starting with the day on which this Act is passed. This section applies to a scheme made under section 43. A scheme does not come into force unless the Secretary of State approves it in writing. Subject to that, a scheme comes into force on— the day it specifies for it to come into force, or if the approval specifies a day for it to come into force, that day. The Secretary of State may modify a scheme before approving it and after consulting each person who is a transferor or a transferee. When a scheme comes into force it has effect to transfer (in accordance with its provisions) the property, rights and liabilities to which it applies. Any transferor or transferee (other than the Secretary of State) must provide the Secretary of State with any information and other assistance he may reasonably require in connection with his powers to approve and modify under this section. If a body fails without reasonable excuse to comply with subsection (6) it is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. In this section “modify” includes add to, omit from and otherwise alter. No approval may be given under this section before the end of the period of three months starting with the day on which this Act is passed. This section applies if— the CAA fails to submit a transfer scheme within the time specified in a direction under section 43, or the Secretary of State does not approve a transfer scheme submitted by the CAA. In such a case the Secretary of State may make a transfer scheme after consulting each person who is a transferor or a transferee. A scheme made under this section comes into force on the day it specifies for it to come into force. When the scheme comes into force it has effect to transfer (in accordance with its provisions) the property, rights and liabilities to which it applies. No scheme may be made under this section before the end of the period of three months starting with the day on which this Act is passed. If the Secretary of State proposes to make a transfer scheme he may give a direction to an interested body requiring it— to provide him with such information as he thinks necessary to enable him to make the scheme, and to do so within the period (not less than 28 days starting with the date on which the direction is given) specified in the direction. These are interested bodies— If a body fails to comply with a direction under subsection (1) the Secretary of State may serve on it a notice which— requires it to produce any documents which are specified or described in the notice and are in its custody or under its control, and to produce them at a time and place so specified and to a person so specified, or requires it to supply information specified or described in the notice, and to supply it at a time and place and in a form and manner so specified and to a person so specified. No body may be required under this section— to produce documents which it could not be compelled to produce in civil proceedings in the court; to supply information which it could not be compelled to supply in such proceedings. If a body fails without reasonable excuse to do anything required of it by a notice under subsection (3) it is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. If a body intentionally alters, suppresses or destroys a document which it has been required to produce by a notice under subsection (3) it is guilty of an offence and liable— If a body makes default in complying with a notice under subsection (3) the court may on the Secretary of State’s application make such order as the court thinks fit for requiring the default to be made good. An order under subsection (7) may provide that all the costs or expenses of and incidental to the application are to be borne— by the body in default, or if officers of the body are responsible for its default, those officers. A reference to producing a document includes a reference to producing a legible and intelligible copy of information recorded otherwise than in legible form. A reference to suppressing a document includes a reference to destroying the means of reproducing information recorded otherwise than in legible form. A reference to the court is to— the High Court in relation to England and Wales or Northern Ireland; the Court of Session in relation to Scotland. This section applies if any property, rights or liabilities are transferred under a transfer scheme— from the CAA to a company, from a company to the CAA, or from a company to a company. The transfer scheme may state— the value at which any asset transferred to the transferee under the scheme is to be entered in the opening accounts of the transferee; the amount at which any liability so transferred is to be entered in those accounts. The value or amount which may be stated by virtue of subsection (2) is— in a case where the whole of the asset or liability is transferred by the transfer scheme, the value or amount at which the asset or liability appeared in the last full accounts of the transferor; in a case where part only of the asset or liability is so transferred, such part of the value or amount at which the asset or liability appeared in the last full accounts of the transferor as may be determined by or in accordance with the transfer scheme. But if the maker of the transfer scheme considers that some other value or amount is appropriate, the value or amount which may be stated by virtue of subsection (2) is that other amount or value. If no value or amount appeared as mentioned in subsection (3) in the case of an asset or liability, the value or amount which may be stated by virtue of subsection (2) is the value or amount which the maker of the transfer scheme considers appropriate. The transfer scheme may provide that the amount to be included in the opening accounts of the transferee as representing its accumulated realised profits is to be determined as if such proportion of any profits realised and retained by the transferor as may be determined by or in accordance with the transfer scheme had been realised and retained by the transferee. The transfer scheme may provide that the amount to be included in the opening accounts of the transferee as representing its accumulated realised losses is to be determined as if such proportion of any accumulated realised losses of the transferor as may be determined by or in accordance with the transfer scheme had been losses realised by the transferee. When the transfer scheme comes into force a statement or provision under subsection (2), (6) or (7) has effect to require any value or amount concerned to be entered or determined accordingly. This section applies for the purposes of section 47. The opening accounts of the transferee are— if the transferee is the CAA, the annual accounts prepared by it in accordance with section 15 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 for the accounting year next ending after the transfer date; if the transferee is a company, any statutory accounts prepared by it for the accounting year next ending after the transfer date. The last full accounts of the transferor are— if the transferor is the CAA, the annual accounts prepared by it in accordance with section 15 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 for the accounting year last ended before the making of the transfer scheme; if the transferor is a company, the statutory accounts of the company for the accounting year last ended before the making of the transfer scheme. An accounting year is— in the case of the CAA, the period of 12 months ending with 31 March in any year; in the case of a company, its financial year within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts are accounts prepared by a company for the purpose of any provision of the Companies Act 2006 (including group accounts). This section applies if any property, rights or liabilities are transferred under a transfer scheme to a transferee which at the time of the transfer is a company falling within subsection (4). The Secretary of State may give a direction under this section to the transferee if when the direction is given it is a company falling within subsection (4). A direction under this section is one requiring the transferee— to issue to the appropriate person such securities of the transferee as are specified in the direction, to do so at a time or times (specified in the direction) when it is a company falling within subsection (4), and to do so on such terms as are specified in the direction. A company falls within this subsection if it is— a company which is wholly owned by the Crown, a company which is wholly owned by the CAA, or a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company falling within paragraph (a) or (b). The appropriate person is such of the following as the Secretary of State may specify in the direction— the transferor; a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company falling within paragraph (d) or (e). Shares issued in pursuance of this section— must be of such nominal value as may be specified in a direction given by the Secretary of State, and must be issued as fully paid and treated for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 as if they had been paid up by virtue of the payment to the transferee of their nominal value in cash. This section applies if any property, rights or liabilities are transferred under a transfer scheme to a transferee which at the time of the transfer is— The Treasury or the Secretary of State with the Treasury’s consent may— acquire securities of the transferee by subscription or purchase; acquire options to acquire or dispose of securities of the transferee. The Secretary of State must not dispose of any securities or options acquired under this section without the Treasury’s consent. The Secretary of State may by order designate such a transferee for the purposes of this section. The Secretary of State must ensure that the Crown does not dispose of any of the shares it holds in the designated company unless he is satisfied that a scheme is in place to ensure the completion of any project which— concerns the development of major facilities connected with air traffic services, and was commissioned before the coming into force of this section by the CAA or a company wholly owned by the CAA. The Secretary of State must ensure that the Crown does not dispose of any of the shares it holds in the designated company unless— the Crown holds at least 49 per cent of the company’s issued ordinary share capital immediately before the disposal, and the Crown will continue to hold at least 49 per cent of that share capital immediately after the disposal. The Secretary of State must ensure that at any given time the Crown holds at least 25 per cent of the designated company’s issued ordinary share capital. The Secretary of State must ensure that the Crown continues to hold any special share provided for under the designated company’s articles of association. A special share is a share which can be held only by the Crown and which gives the shareholder the right to prevent certain events by withholding consent. The Secretary of State must not consent to any alteration of the designated company’s articles of association which requires his consent on behalf of the Crown as special shareholder unless a statement of the intended consent has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. If a person enters into a transaction relating to shares issued by the designated company— he need not enquire whether the transaction results in a contravention of subsection (3), (4), (5) or (6), and his rights in relation to the shares are not to be questioned on the grounds of, or affected by, a contravention of subsection (3), (4), (5) or (6). Grounds on which the Secretary of State may be satisfied that a scheme is in place as mentioned in subsection (3) include the grounds that the arrangements for the disposal of the shares include provision obliging the person acquiring them to ensure the completion of the project. For the purposes of this section a project concerns the development of major facilities if (and only if) the Secretary of State thinks that the value of the project is above £200 million. The Secretary of State may by order amend or repeal this section. This section applies if any property, rights or liabilities are transferred under a transfer scheme to a transferee which at the time of the transfer is a company falling within subsection (3). With the Treasury’s approval the Secretary of State may make loans of such amounts as he thinks fit to the transferee if when the loans are made it is a company falling within subsection (3). If loans are made under this section— they must be repaid to the Secretary of State at such times and by such methods as he may specify in a direction given with the Treasury’s approval; interest on them must be paid to him at such rates and at such times as may be specified in such a direction. The Secretary of State must exercise his powers under this section so as to ensure that the aggregate of the amounts outstanding in respect of the principal of loans made under this section does not at any time exceed £1,000 million. In respect of each financial year the Secretary of State must prepare, in such form as may be specified in a direction given by the Treasury, an account of— sums issued to him out of the National Loans Fund for making loans under this section, sums received by him under subsection (4), and how he has disposed of those sums. The Secretary of State must send the account to the Comptroller and Auditor General not later than the end of the month of August in the following financial year. The Comptroller and Auditor General must examine, certify and report on the account and must lay copies of it and of his report before each House of Parliament. The Treasury or the Secretary of State may guarantee the discharge of any financial obligation of the transferee if when the guarantee is made it is a company falling within subsection (3). In the case of a financial obligation incurred before the giving of a guarantee, it is immaterial when the obligation was incurred. A guarantee may be given on such terms and in such manner as the Treasury or the Secretary of State decides. A guarantee may continue to have effect after the transferee has ceased to be a company falling within subsection (3). The Treasury may not give a guarantee in relation to a financial obligation which is owed by the transferee to the Secretary of State. A guarantee may not be given unless the Treasury or the Secretary of State has entered into arrangements under which the transferee will be liable to make payments (including payments of interest) in respect of sums issued in fulfilment of the guarantee. The Treasury and the Secretary of State must exercise their powers under this section so as to ensure that the aggregate of the amounts of principal in relation to which guarantees are given under this section does not at any time exceed £500 million. As soon as practicable after giving a guarantee under this section the Treasury or the Secretary of State must lay a statement of the guarantee before each House of Parliament. As soon as practicable after issuing a sum in fulfilment of a guarantee under this section the Treasury or the Secretary of State must lay a statement relating to the sum before each House of Parliament. If a payment is not made as required by arrangements under subsection (8), as soon as practicable after the default occurs the Treasury or the Secretary of State (depending on who made the arrangements) must lay a statement of the default before each House of Parliament. With the Treasury’s approval the Secretary of State may make grants towards the transferee’s expenditure if when the grants are made it is a company falling within subsection (3). Grants may be of such amounts and be made at such times and in such manner as the Secretary of State may determine with the Treasury’s approval. Grants may be made subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State may determine with the Treasury’s approval. Grants may be retained by the transferee after it has ceased to be a company falling within subsection (3) (subject to any condition imposed under subsection (5)). any property, rights or liabilities are transferred under a transfer scheme to a transferee which at the time of the transfer is a company wholly owned by the Crown, at a time after the transfer the first condition (set out in subsection (2)) is satisfied, and the second condition (set out in subsection (3)) is satisfied. The first condition is that the transferee is a company whose shares or debentures are included in the Official List, within the meaning of Part IV of the Financial Services Act 1986, in pursuance of that Part. The second condition is that immediately before its shares or debentures are admitted to the Official List the transferee is wholly owned by the Crown. If this section applies, subsection (5) has effect for the purpose of applying paragraph 3(b) of Part IV of Schedule 1 to the Trustee Investments Act 1961 (dividends to be paid in each of the five years immediately preceding investment year) in relation to investment in shares or debentures of the transferee in the year of issue or any later year. The transferee must be taken to have paid a dividend as mentioned in paragraph 3(b)— in every year which precedes the year of issue and which is included in the relevant five years, and in the year of issue, if it is included in the relevant five years and the transferee does not in fact pay such a dividend in that year. the year of issue is the calendar year in which shares in the transferee are first issued in pursuance of section 49; the relevant five years are the five years immediately preceding the year in which the investment in question is made or proposed to be made. any property, rights or liabilities are transferred under a transfer scheme to a transferee which at the time of the transfer is a company falling within subsection (2), and at a time after the transfer the condition set out in subsection (3) is satisfied. The condition is that— the transferee continues to be, or becomes and continues to be, a company which is wholly owned by the Crown or a wholly owned subsidiary of such a company, or the Crown continues to hold any special share provided for under the transferee’s articles of association. For the purposes of the provisions listed in subsection (5) none of the persons listed in subsection (8) is to be regarded as a shadow director of the transferee or of a company associated with the transferee at a time while the condition set out in subsection (3) is satisfied. The provisions are— section 162(6) of the Companies Act 2006 (register of directors: liability for offence); Chapter 3 of Part 10 of that Act (declaration of interest in existing transaction or arrangement); sections 190 to 196 of that Act (transactions requiring members’ approval: substantial property transactions); sections 197 to 214 of that Act (transactions requiring members’ approval: loans etc.); regulation 28(3) of the Companies, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015 (liability for offence), as it applies in relation to an offence under regulation 26 (disclosure of names of directors). a Minister of the Crown; a Northern Ireland Minister; a nominee of a person falling within paragraph (a) or (b); a Northern Ireland Department. A company is associated with the transferee if the conditions in subsections (11) and (12) are satisfied. The first condition is that the company is designated for the purposes of this subsection by an order of the Secretary of State. The second condition is that the company is— wholly owned by the Crown, or a subsidiary of the transferee. With the Treasury’s consent the Secretary of State may give a direction under this section to the CAA if he thinks that to do so would be appropriate in connection with a transfer scheme which has been or is proposed to be made. A direction may be given in relation to a company which is wholly owned by the CAA when the direction is given, and it may require the CAA— to release the company from liability in respect of debts which the company owes to the CAA and which are specified in the direction; to do so at a time when the company is wholly owned by the CAA; to become a party to such arrangements as the direction may specify with a view to the release taking effect. A direction may by virtue of subsection (2)(c) include provision as to instruments, their form and the time they are to be made. A direction has effect to require the CAA to act in accordance with it even if to do so would not be in furtherance of the CAA’s functions arising apart from this section. If a direction is given the Secretary of State may by order extinguish the CAA’s liability in respect of debts which satisfy these conditions— the CAA owes the debts to him, he thinks they correspond to those specified in the direction, and they are specified in the order. A direction or order may relate to liability for principal only. With the Treasury’s consent the Secretary of State may give one or more directions under this section if he thinks that to do so would be appropriate in connection with a direction which has been given under section 57. A direction under this section may be given to a company falling within subsection (3), and it may require the company— to issue to the appropriate person specified in the direction such securities of the company as the direction specifies, or to issue to different appropriate persons so specified such securities of the company as the direction specifies. These companies fall within this subsection— the company whose liability the direction under section 57 requires to be released; a company which wholly owns that company; These are appropriate persons— a company which wholly owns that company. But a company does not fall within subsection (3), and a company is not an appropriate person, unless— it is wholly owned by the Crown when the direction under this section is given, or it is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company which is wholly owned by the Crown when the direction under this section is given. Different directions may be given under this section to the same company; and different directions may be given to different companies. A company which is given a direction under this section must issue securities in accordance with it. Securities issued in pursuance of this section must be issued at such times and on such terms as the direction concerned specifies. must be of such nominal value as the direction concerned specifies, and must be issued as fully paid and treated for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 as if they had been paid up by virtue of the payment to the issuing company of their nominal value in cash. If a security is issued to a company in pursuance of section 49 or 58, for the purposes of its statutory accounts the value of the security when issued must be taken to have been equal to— its nominal value (if it is a share); the principal sum payable under it (if it is a debenture). The nominal value or principal sum mentioned above must be taken to be accumulated realised profits for the purposes of the company’s statutory accounts. If a direction under section 49 or 58 requires a company to issue a debenture the direction may specify— the principal sum payable under the debenture; the terms as to the payment of the principal sum; the terms as to the payment of interest on the principal sum. The principal sum payable under the debenture, and the terms as to the payment of it and of interest on it, must be taken to be those so specified. An obligation imposed by a provision included in a scheme by virtue of section 42(4)(a) is enforceable by civil proceedings by a person with whom the agreement is to be made or by any transferor or transferee. An obligation imposed by a provision included in a scheme by virtue of section 42(4)(b) is enforceable by civil proceedings by a person in whose favour the instrument is to be executed or by any transferor or transferee. The proceedings may be for an injunction or for interdict or for any other appropriate relief or remedy. A transaction effected in pursuance of an obligation mentioned in subsection (1) or (2)— is to have effect subject to the provisions of any enactment providing for transactions of the kind concerned to be registered in a statutory register, but subject to that, is to be binding on all other persons, even if it would otherwise require the consent or concurrence of any other person. For the purposes of this section these rights affecting land are relevant land rights— a right of reverter (or in Scotland the right of the fiar on the termination of a liferent); a right of pre-emption; a right of forfeiture; a right of re-entry; a right of irritancy; an option; a right similar to anything falling within paragraphs (a) to (f). No relevant land right is to operate or become exercisable as a result of a transfer of land— under a transfer scheme, in consequence of anything done under Schedule 6, or pursuant to an obligation imposed by a provision included in a scheme by virtue of section 42(4)(a) or (b). In the case of a transfer mentioned in subsection (2) a relevant land right is to have effect as if— the person to whom the land is transferred were the same person in law as the person transferring the land, and no transfer of the land had taken place. Subsection (5) applies if— apart from subsections (2) and (3) a relevant land right would have operated in favour of a person or become exercisable by him, but the circumstances are such that in consequence of those subsections the right cannot subsequently operate in his favour or become exercisable by him (as the case may be). In such a case just compensation is payable to him by the person to whom the land is transferred or the person transferring it (or both) in respect of the right’s extinguishment. A dispute about whether or how much compensation is payable or about the person to or by whom it is payable must be referred to and decided by— an arbitrator appointed by the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (if the proceedings are to be held in England and Wales), an arbiter appointed by the Chairman of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in Scotland (if the proceedings are to be held in Scotland), or an arbitrator appointed by the Chairman of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in Northern Ireland (if the proceedings are to be held in Northern Ireland). If it appears to the person transferring the land that a person is or may be entitled to compensation he must— notify that person in writing that he is or may be entitled, and invite him to make representations to the person transferring the land, and to do so not later than the expiry of the period of 14 days starting with the date of issue of the notification. But if the person transferring the land is not aware of the name and address of the person concerned he must publish in such manner as he thinks appropriate a notice— containing information about the right affected, and inviting any person who thinks he is or may be entitled to compensation to make representations to the person transferring the land, and to do so within the period (not less than 28 days starting with the date of publication of the notice) specified in the notice. Subsections (2) and (3) apply in relation to the doing of any thing in relation to land (including the grant or creation of an estate or interest in it or right over it) as they apply in relation to a transfer of land; and a reference in this section to the person to whom the land is transferred or the person transferring it is to be construed accordingly. The Treasury or the Secretary of State with the Treasury’s approval may for the purposes of section 49, 50 or 58 appoint a person to act as the nominee, or one of the nominees, of the Treasury or the Secretary of State. In accordance with directions given from time to time by the Treasury or by the Secretary of State— securities may be issued under section 49 or 58 to a nominee of the Secretary of State appointed for the purposes of that section, and a nominee of the Treasury or the Secretary of State appointed for the purposes of section 50 may acquire securities under that section. A person holding any securities as a nominee of the Treasury or the Secretary of State by virtue of this section must hold and deal with them (or any of them) on such terms and in such manner as may be specified in directions given by the Treasury or the Secretary of State. A direction of the Secretary of State under subsection (2) or (3) requires the Treasury’s consent. Schedule 6 contains provisions about transfer schemes. Schedule 7 contains provisions about tax. company; company which wholly owns a company; company wholly owned by the CAA; company wholly owned by the Crown; securities; shares held by the Crown; subsidiary and wholly owned subsidiary; transferee; transferor. “Company” means a company as defined in section 1(1) of the Companies Act 2006. A company is wholly owned by the Crown at any time when all its shares are held by the Crown. Shares are held by the Crown if they are held— by a Minister of the Crown or his nominee, by a Northern Ireland Minister or his nominee, by a Northern Ireland department, or by a company of which all the shares are held by the Crown. “Northern Ireland Minister” includes the First Minister and the deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland. A company is wholly owned by the CAA at any time when it has no members except— the CAA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, or persons acting on behalf of the CAA or its wholly owned subsidiaries. A company which wholly owns another company is a company of which the other is a wholly owned subsidiary. The expressions “subsidiary” and “wholly owned subsidiary” have the meanings given by section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006. “Securities” has the same meaning as in section 142 of the Financial Services Act 1986. A transferee is any person to whom anything is or is to be transferred by a scheme. A transferor is any person from whom anything is or is to be transferred by a scheme. The definitions in this section apply unless the contrary intention appears. The Secretary of State may give directions to the CAA imposing duties or conferring powers (or both) on it with regard to air navigation in a managed area. No action is to lie in respect of a failure by the CAA to perform a duty imposed on it by a direction under subsection (1); but that does not affect a right of action in respect of an act or omission which takes place in the course of performing the CAA’s air navigation functions. The chief executive of the CAA must, with the approval of the chair and at least one other non-executive member of the CAA, nominate another executive member of the CAA for the purposes of this section. A person nominated under subsection (3) must perform on the CAA's behalf such of its air navigation functions as the Secretary of State may specify. The chief executive must consult the Secretary of State before nominating a person under subsection (3). The following provisions are not to apply to the CAA’s air navigation functions— section 7(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (Secretary of State’s power to prescribe functions not to be performed by a person on CAA’s behalf); paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to that Act (CAA’s power to authorise a person to perform functions on its behalf). A person nominated under subsection (3) may authorise a member or employee of the CAA to perform on his behalf the functions which he is to perform by virtue of that subsection. The Secretary of State may nominate a non-executive member of the CAA for the purposes of this section, and in this section references to the national security nominee are to the person nominated under this section. Subsection (3) applies if— there is a difference of opinion between the national security nominee and the CAA, the difference of opinion relates to the CAA’s air navigation functions, and the national security nominee thinks that if the CAA’s opinion prevailed it could have an effect contrary to the interests of national security. In such a case— the CAA must refer the matter to the Secretary of State, and after consulting the CAA the Secretary of State may give it such directions regarding the matter as he thinks fit. The national security nominee may authorise a member or employee of the CAA to perform on his behalf the functions which he is to perform by virtue of this section; and while such an authorisation is effective references in subsection (2) to the national security nominee are to the person authorised under this subsection. Directions under section 66(1) may include provision as to the manner in which the CAA is to exercise its air navigation functions. The provision may include— provision requiring consultation with specified persons or specified descriptions of persons in relation to specified matters; provision requiring the CAA to seek the approval of the Secretary of State in relation to specified matters; provision requiring the CAA in specified circumstances to refer specified matters to the Secretary of State. If a matter is referred to the Secretary of State by virtue of subsection (2)(b) or (c) he may give such directions to the CAA as he thinks fit. In so far as a direction under section 66(1), 67(3) or 68(3) conflicts with the requirements of section 93 or of an order under section 94, the direction is to be disregarded. In so far as a direction under section 66(1), 67(3) or 68(3) conflicts with the requirements of an enactment or instrument other than section 93 or an order under section 94, the requirements are to be disregarded. If a direction is given under section 66(1) the CAA— must publish the direction in such manner as may be specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State; must set out the direction in the report made under section 21 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (annual report) for the accounting year in which the direction is given. If a direction is given under section 67(3) or section 68(3) the CAA— must set out the direction in the report made under section 21 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 for the accounting year in which the direction is given, but must exclude a direction or part of a direction as to which the Secretary of State notifies the CAA that in his opinion it is against the national interest to set it out in the report. The CAA must exercise its air navigation functions so as to maintain a high standard of safety in the provision of air traffic services; and that duty is to have priority over the application of subsections (2) and (3). The CAA must exercise its air navigation functions in the manner it thinks best calculated— to secure the most efficient use of airspace consistent with the safe operation of aircraft and the expeditious flow of air traffic; to satisfy the requirements of operators and owners of all classes of aircraft; to take account of the interests of any person (other than an operator or owner of an aircraft) in relation to the use of any particular airspace or the use of airspace generally; to take account of any guidance relating to spaceflight activities (within the meaning of the Space Industry Act 2018) given to the CAA by the Secretary of State; to take account of any guidance on environmental objectives given to the CAA by the Secretary of State after the coming into force of this section; to facilitate the integrated operation of air traffic services provided by or on behalf of the armed forces of the Crown and other air traffic services; to take account of the interests of national security; to take account of any international obligations of the United Kingdom notified to the CAA by the Secretary of State (whatever the time or purpose of the notification). If in a particular case there is a conflict in the application of the provisions of subsection (2), in relation to that case the CAA must apply them in the manner it thinks is reasonable having regard to them as a whole. The CAA must exercise its air navigation functions so as to impose on providers of air traffic services the minimum restrictions which are consistent with the exercise of those functions. Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (CAA’s general objectives) does not apply in relation to the performance by the CAA of its air navigation functions. The CAA may, for any purpose connected with its air navigation functions, serve on a person who provides air traffic services a notice which— requires the person to produce any documents which are specified or described in the notice and are in his custody or under his control, and to produce them at a time and place so specified and to a person so specified, or requires the person to supply information specified or described in the notice, and to supply it at a time and place and in a form and manner so specified and to a person so specified. A requirement may be made under subsection (1)(b) only if the person is carrying on a business. No person may be required under this section— to produce documents which he could not be compelled to produce in civil proceedings in the court; to supply information which he could not be compelled to supply in such proceedings. If a person without reasonable excuse fails to do anything required of him by a notice under subsection (1) he is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. If a person intentionally alters, suppresses or destroys a document which he has been required to produce by a notice under subsection (1) he is guilty of an offence and liable— If a person makes default in complying with a notice under subsection (1) the court may on the CAA’s application make such order as the court thinks fit for requiring the default to be made good. An order under subsection (6) may provide that all the costs or expenses of and incidental to the application are to be borne— by the person in default, or if officers of a company or other association are responsible for its default, by those officers. This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter. The CAA’s air navigation functions are the functions which the CAA is to perform in pursuance of directions under section 66(1). any area which is outside the United Kingdom but in respect of which the United Kingdom has undertaken under international arrangements to carry out activities with regard to air navigation. The CAA may specify— the amounts of, or methods of calculating, the charges which are to be paid by virtue of this section in respect of chargeable air services (or of such descriptions of those services as the CAA specifies), the operators and owners of aircraft (or descriptions of such operators and owners) who are to pay the charges, the persons (or descriptions of persons) to whom they are to be paid, and the currencies in which they are to be paid. On or after making specifications under subsection (1) the CAA may stipulate— that charges are to be dispensed with in cases of specified descriptions; that interest at a specified rate is to be paid on charges in respect of any period in which they are due but unpaid; that interest is to be paid with the charges or separately; that charges of a specified description are payable elsewhere than in the United Kingdom; that charges of a specified description are to be disposed of in a specified way when received. Charges of the specified amounts, or calculated in accordance with the specified methods, must be paid in accordance with specifications made under subsection (1). But if stipulations are made under subsection (2)(a) the charges concerned are not to be paid. If stipulations are made under subsection (2)(b) or (c) interest must be paid accordingly. If stipulations are made under subsection (2)(d) the charges concerned are payable accordingly. If stipulations are made under subsection (2)(e) the charges concerned must be disposed of accordingly. Subsections (3) to (7) have effect subject to section 74. For the purposes of subsection (1)(c) persons include— Eurocontrol and other international organisations, and governments of countries or territories outside the United Kingdom. If the CAA makes specifications or stipulations under section 73— it must publish a notice containing them; they become effective as provided in the published notice. The CAA may amend or revoke any specifications or stipulations published under this section, and— it must publish a notice containing any amendment or revocation; the amendment or revocation becomes effective as provided in the published notice. An amendment or revocation does not affect any liability incurred before the amendment or revocation becomes effective. Publication under this section must be made— in the London Gazette, the Edinburgh Gazette and the Belfast Gazette, or in such other manner as the Secretary of State may provide by order. This section applies for the purposes of specifications under section 73(1). different amounts or methods in respect of different descriptions of services; different amounts or methods in respect of different classes or descriptions of aircraft; different amounts or methods in respect of different circumstances in which aircraft are used. In specifying amounts or methods the CAA must have regard to— tariffs which are approved under any international agreement to which the United Kingdom is a party; tariffs which in the CAA’s opinion are likely to be approved under any such agreement before or within one month after the date when the specifications are to take effect; tariffs which in the CAA’s opinion are likely to be approved, before or within one month after the date when the specifications are to take effect, under any international agreement to which the United Kingdom is likely to be a party before or within one month after that date. Methods may be expressed by reference to such factors (including exchange rates between currencies) as the CAA thinks fit. A description of services may be expressed by reference to such factors (including the area in respect of which they are provided) as the CAA thinks fit. A description of operators and owners may be so general as to refer to all operators and owners. Owners and operators may be specified (or of a description specified) if the services concerned are available for the aircraft concerned, and it is immaterial whether or not the services are actually used or could be used with the equipment installed in the aircraft. Liability to pay a charge by virtue of section 73 arises whether or not— the aircraft concerned is registered in the United Kingdom; it is in the United Kingdom when the services concerned are provided; the services concerned are provided from a place in the United Kingdom.

A charge payable by virtue of section 73 is recoverable in the United Kingdom wherever it is payable (without prejudice to its recovery elsewhere). A court in any part of the United Kingdom has jurisdiction to hear and determine— a claim for a charge or interest payable by virtue of section 73; a claim, by a person appearing to the court to have an interest in the matter, that a charge which by virtue of that section must be disposed of in a particular way has not been disposed of in that way. Subsection (3) applies even if the person against whom the claim is made is not resident within the court’s jurisdiction. For the purposes of this Chapter chargeable air services are services which— fall within subsection (2), and are not excepted air services (as defined in subsection (3)). These services fall within this subsection— air traffic services provided in respect of the United Kingdom; air traffic services which the United Kingdom has undertaken under international arrangements to provide in respect of an area outside the United Kingdom; air traffic services which are provided in respect of an area outside the United Kingdom and the charges for which the United Kingdom has undertaken to collect under international arrangements; services which are provided by the CAA in performing its air navigation functions (within the meaning of Chapter III) and for which Eurocontrol is to collect charges under the Eurocontrol agreement; air traffic services which do not fall within paragraph (d) and for which Eurocontrol is to collect charges under the Eurocontrol agreement. These are excepted air services— air traffic services provided by the owner or manager of an aerodrome or by his employee other than services which fall within subsection (3A); air traffic services provided on behalf of the owner or manager of an aerodrome (other than a designated aerodrome) in circumstances where the person providing the services is not an employee of the owner or manager and they are provided under a contract or other arrangement made by the owner or manager and the person providing them. Air traffic services fall within this subsection if— they are services for which Eurocontrol is to collect charges under the Eurocontrol agreement, and they are provided by the owner or manager of an aerodrome or by his employee under a contract or other arrangement made by the owner or manager with the CAA and the CAA in making that contract or other arrangement is acting in pursuance of its air navigation functions (within the meaning of Chapter III). A designated aerodrome is an aerodrome designated by the Secretary of State by order for the purposes of subsection (3)(b). The Secretary of State may by order amend the meaning of chargeable air services for the purposes of this Chapter. an amount of a charge is specified under section 73(1) in respect of a service falling within section 77(2)(d) or (e), and under the Eurocontrol agreement Eurocontrol is to collect a charge in respect of the specification and publication of the amount of the charge and its recovery. In specifying the amount of the charge the CAA may include an amount in respect of the specification and publication of the amount of the charge and its recovery. References to an amount include references to a method of calculating an amount. The CAA— must exercise its powers under section 73 if it thinks it should do so in order for international agreements to which the United Kingdom is a party to be fulfilled, and in exercising those powers must act in the manner it thinks best calculated to take account of those agreements. The CAA must exercise its powers under section 73 in relation to services falling within section 77(2)(b) if it thinks it should do so in order to enable the provider of the services to be paid for their provision. If information is given to the Secretary of State by the CAA concerning the charges the CAA would like to be paid in respect of chargeable air services which fall within section 77(2)(d), he must (so far as practicable) ensure that the information is given to Eurocontrol. If information is given to the Secretary of State by a licence holder concerning the charges it would like to be paid in respect of chargeable air services which it provides and which fall within section 77(2)(e), he must (so far as practicable) ensure that the information is given to Eurocontrol. But subsection (2) does not apply if the CAA tells the Secretary of State that giving the information to Eurocontrol could result in the licence holder being paid charges whose calculation was in contravention of the provisions of the licence. If money is received by the government of the United Kingdom from Eurocontrol in respect of a chargeable air service falling within section 77(2)(d) or (e), the Secretary of State must (so far as practicable) ensure that the money is paid to the person who provided the service. If money falls to be paid by Eurocontrol in respect of a chargeable air service falling within section 77(2)(d) or (e), the Secretary of State must (so far as practicable) ensure that the money falls to be paid by Eurocontrol to the person who provided the service. The reference to money being received by the government of the United Kingdom is to money being received by a person on behalf of that government. The Secretary of State may make regulations in order to facilitate the assessment and collection of charges payable by virtue of section 73. The regulations may require operators or owners of aircraft or managers of aerodromes— to make such records of the movements of aircraft, and of such other particulars relating to aircraft, as are specified; to preserve the records for a specified period; to produce relevant records for inspection by specified persons at specified times; to provide specified particulars of relevant records to specified persons. Relevant records are records required to be preserved by the operators, owners or managers by the regulations or an Air Navigation Order. The persons who may be specified under subsection (2)(c) or (d) are— in the case of charges payable to Eurocontrol, officers of the CAA or of Eurocontrol; in the case of other charges, officers of the CAA or of the organisation, government or other person to whom the charges are payable. The requirements may be imposed on the operator or owner of an aircraft whether or not— it is registered in the United Kingdom; A record includes (in addition to a record in writing)— a disc, tape, sound-track or other device in which sounds or signals are embodied so as to be capable of being reproduced from it (with or without the aid of some other instrument); a film, tape or other device in which visual images are embodied so as to be capable of being reproduced from it (with or without the aid of some other instrument); a photograph. In subsection (4)— a reference to officers of the CAA includes a reference to persons authorised to act as such officers; a reference to officers of Eurocontrol includes a reference to persons authorised to act as such officers. A person commits an offence if without reasonable excuse he fails to comply with a requirement of regulations made under section 81. A person commits an offence if he is in possession of information provided to him or obtained by him under regulations made under section 81 and he discloses the information otherwise than— with the consent of the person by whom it was provided or from whom it was obtained, for the purposes of the regulations, for the purposes of any proceedings arising out of this Chapter, for the purposes of any criminal proceedings (however arising), for the purposes of any proceedings brought by virtue of paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 to the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (claims against Eurocontrol), for the purposes of a public inquiry or investigation held or carried out under regulations made under section 75 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982, or for the purposes of a report of any proceedings, inquiry or investigation mentioned above. A person commits an offence if in providing particulars under a provision contained in regulations by virtue of section 81(2)(d)— he provides particulars which he knows are false in a material particular, or he recklessly provides particulars which are false in a material particular. A person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. A person who commits an offence under subsection (2) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or to both. A person who commits an offence under subsection (3) is liable— on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or to both; on conviction on indictment, to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both. The Secretary of State may make regulations containing— provision which, in the case of default by an operator in paying a charge payable by virtue of section 73, authorises the detention (pending payment) of any aircraft falling within subsection (2); provision which, in the case of default by an operator in complying with a requirement imposed by regulations made under section 81 to produce records for inspection or provide particulars of records, authorises the detention (pending compliance) of any aircraft of which he is the operator when detention begins; provision which authorises the sale of any detained aircraft if the default is not remedied within a specified period. These aircraft fall within this subsection— the aircraft in respect of which the charge was incurred (whether or not the person who is the operator of the aircraft when detention begins is the defaulter); any aircraft of which the defaulter is the operator when detention begins. Regulations under subsection (1) may— provide that detention (or continued detention) is authorised only in specified circumstances or at specified places; provide that in specified circumstances detention is authorised only if a specified person consents; provide that sale is authorised only in specified circumstances (which may relate to the court’s consent, to be given only in specified circumstances); specify the descriptions of person authorised to detain or sell aircraft; provide for the power of detention or sale to extend to other matters (such as the aircraft’s equipment); provide for the application of the proceeds of sale; provide for them to be applied in a specified order; make provision corresponding to any provision made by or under section 88 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (detention and sale of aircraft for unpaid airport charges); generally make such provision as the Secretary of State thinks is necessary or expedient to secure detention or sale. Eurocontrol has the meaning given by section 24 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982. The Eurocontrol agreement is the multilateral agreement relating to route charges signed at Brussels on 12 February 1981 or any agreement replacing it. “Licence holder” has the meaning given by section 40. For the purposes of this Chapter— the 2002 Act is the Enterprise Act 2002; the 1998 Act is the Competition Act 1998; the CMA is the Competition and Markets Authority. For the purposes of this Chapter these expressions have the meanings given by section 40— licence holder. If an expression is used in this Chapter and also in ... the 1998 Act it has the same meaning in this Chapter as it has in the 1998 Act. The functions to which subsections (2) and (3) apply shall be concurrent functions of the CAA and the CMA. This subsection applies to the CMA’s functions under Part 4 of the 2002 Act (other than sections 166 , 167C , 171 and 174E) so far as those functions— are exercisable by the CMA Board (within the meaning of Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013), and relate to the supply of air traffic services. This subsection applies to the CMA’s functions under the provisions of Part 1 of the 1998 Act (other than sections 31D(1) to (6),, 35C, 38(1) to (6) , 40B(1) to (4) and 51), so far as relating to— agreements, decisions or concerted practices of the kind mentioned in section 2(1) of that Act, conduct of the kind mentioned in section 18(1) of that Act, or transferred EU anti-trust commitments or transferred EU anti-trust directions, which relate to the supply of air traffic services. References to the CMA in— Part 4 of the 2002 Act (except for sections 166 , 167C , 171 and 174E but including provisions of that Act applied by that Part), and Part I of the 1998 Act (except in sections 31D(1) to (6) , 35C, 38(1) to (6) , 40B(1) to (4), 51, 52(6) and (8) and 54 but including references in provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 applied by that Part), must be read as including references to the CAA. References to section 5 of the 2002 Act in Part 4 of that Act must be read as including a reference to section 91(1) of this Act. But ...— subsections (4) and (4A) apply only so far as they are consequential on subsections (1) to (3) above, and subsection (4) applies only if the context does not otherwise require. Section 130A of the 2002 Act is to have effect in its application in relation to the CAA by virtue of subsections (1) and (2)— as if for subsection (1) of that section there were substituted— Where the Civil Aviation Authority— is proposing to carry out its functions under section 91(1) of the Transport Act 2000 in relation to a matter for the purposes mentioned in subsection (2), and considers that the matter is one in respect of which it would be appropriate for the Authority to exercise its powers under section 174 (investigation) in connection with deciding whether to make a reference under section 131, the Authority must publish a notice under this section (referred to in this Part as a “market study notice”). as if in subsection (2)(a) of that section, for “the acquisition or supply of goods or services of one or more than one description in the United Kingdom” there were substituted “the supply of air traffic services (within the meaning given by section 98 of the Transport Act 2000)”. If a question arises as to whether subsections (1) to (3) above apply to a particular case the question must be referred to and determined by the Secretary of State. No objection may be taken to anything done by or in relation to the CAA— Part 4 of the 2002 Act, or under Part I of the 1998 Act (except under section 31D(1) to (6) , 35C, 38(1) to (6) , 40B(1) to (4) or 51), on the ground that it should have been done by or in relation to the CMA. In making any decision, or otherwise taking action, for the purposes of any of its functions that— by virtue of this section, are functions exercisable concurrently with the CMA, and in the case of functions under the Competition Act 1998, are functions within Schedule 4A to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 by virtue of paragraph 5 of that Schedule, the CAA must have regard to the need for making a decision, or taking action, as soon as reasonably practicable. For the purposes of this section the CAA’s 2002 Act functions are the functions mentioned in subsection (2) of section 86 which, by virtue of that section, are functions of the CAA. The CAA must exercise its 2002 Act functions so as to maintain a high standard of safety in the provision of air traffic services; and that duty is to have priority over the application of subsections (3) to (6). The CAA must exercise its 2002 Act functions in the manner it thinks best calculated— to promote efficiency and economy on the part of suppliers of air traffic services; to secure that suppliers of air traffic services who are licence holders will not find it unduly difficult to finance activities authorised by their licences; The only interests to be considered under subsection (3)(a) are interests regarding the range, availability, continuity, cost and quality of air traffic services. The reference in subsection (3)(a) to furthering interests includes a reference to furthering them (where the CAA thinks it appropriate) by promoting competition in the provision of air traffic services. If in a particular case there is a conflict in the application of the provisions of subsections (3) to (5), in relation to that case the CAA must apply them in the manner it thinks is reasonable having regard to them as a whole. The CAA must exercise its 2002 Act functions so as to impose on suppliers of air traffic services the minimum restrictions which are consistent with the exercise of those functions. Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (CAA’s general objectives) does not apply in relation to the performance by the CAA of its 2002 Act functions. For the purposes of this section the CAA’s 1998 Act functions are the functions mentioned in subsection (3) of section 86 which, by virtue of that section, are functions of the CAA. In exercising its 1998 Act functions the CAA may (in particular) have regard to any matter which satisfies the following condition. The condition is that the matter is one to which, by virtue of section 87, the CAA must have regard in exercising its 2002 Act functions (within the meaning of that section). For the purposes of this section the 2002 Act functions are the functions mentioned in subsection (2) of section 86 which, by virtue of that section, are concurrent functions of the CAA and the CMA. Before the CMA or the CAA first carries out the 2002 Act functions in relation to a matter it must consult the other. If the CMA or the CAA has carried out the 2002 Act functions in relation to a matter the other must not carry out the 2002 Act functions in relation to the matter. If in carrying out the 2002 Act functions the CAA makes a market investigation reference (under section 131 of the 2002 Act), to help the CMA group (constituted under Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013) which is to conduct the investigation on the reference the CAA must give to it— any information the CAA has which relates to matters within the scope of the investigation and which the CMA group requests; any information the CAA has which relates to matters within the scope of the investigation and which the CAA thinks it would be appropriate for it to give without a request; any other help which the CAA is able to give in relation to matters within the scope of the investigation and which the CMA group requests. In carrying out the investigation concerned the CMA group must take account of any information given under subsection (4). The CAA may publish information and advice which it thinks it is expedient to give to— operators and owners of aircraft; owners and managers of aerodromes; persons travelling in aircraft and persons with rights in property carried in them. The CAA may instead arrange for the publication of such information and advice. Publication under this section is to be in the form and manner the CAA thinks appropriate. So far as practicable the CAA must secure the exclusion of any matter relating to the affairs of a person if the CAA thinks its publication would or might seriously and prejudicially affect the person’s interests. But subsection (4) does not apply if the CAA thinks publication of the matter would be in the public interest. The Competition and Markets Authority must consult the CAA before publishing under section 6 of the Enterprise Act 2002 any information or advice which may be published under this section. An aerodrome is an aerodrome as defined by section 105(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982; and a manager of an aerodrome is a person who is in charge of it or holds a licence granted in respect of it by virtue of section 60 of that Act (Chicago Convention, regulation of air navigation etc). So far as it appears to the CAA practicable to do so with a view to facilitating the exercise of its functions under this Part, it must— keep under review the provision (in the United Kingdom and elsewhere) of air traffic services; collect information about the provision (in the United Kingdom and elsewhere) of those services. The Secretary of State may give directions indicating considerations to which the CAA is to have particular regard in deciding the order of priority in which matters are to be reviewed in performing its duty under subsection (1)(a). If the CAA thinks it expedient or it is asked by the Secretary of State or the Competition and Markets Authority to do so, it must provide information, advice and help to the Secretary of State or the Competition and Markets Authority regarding any matter in respect of which the CAA has a function under this Part. The CAA may recover from the Secretary of State or the Competition and Markets Authority a sum equal to any expense reasonably incurred by it in providing anything to the person concerned under subsection (3). The Secretary of State may give directions indicating considerations to which the CAA is to have particular regard in deciding whether and how to exercise its functions under this Part. The Secretary of State may— give directions to any listed person in any time of actual or imminent hostilities or of severe international tension or of great national emergency; give directions to any listed person requiring him to participate in the planning of steps which might be taken in any time of actual or imminent hostilities or of severe international tension or of great national emergency. The listed persons are— the CAA or a person (other than the CAA) appointed by regulations under section 16 of the Space Industry Act 2018; a person who provides air traffic services or range control services; a person who operates a United Kingdom air transport undertaking or carries out spaceflight activities; a person who operates an airport or a spaceport; a person who owns or operates a relevant asset. The power under subsection (1)(a) includes— in the case of a person within subsection (2)(a), power to direct it to carry out its functions in a specified manner or for specified purposes; in the case of a person who provides air traffic services or range control services, power to direct him to do so in a specified manner or for specified purposes; in the case of a person who owns a relevant asset, power to direct him to permit the use of the asset or to exercise his rights over it in a specified manner or for specified purposes; in the case of a person who operates a relevant asset, power to direct him to exercise his powers of management over the asset in a specified manner or for a specified purpose. The power under subsection (1)(a) includes power to give directions designed— to regulate or prohibit (absolutely or subject to conditions) the navigation of all or any descriptions of aircraft or spacecraft over the United Kingdom or over part of it or over any area of sea; to regulate or prohibit (absolutely or subject to conditions) the use, building, maintenance or establishment of aerodromes , flying schools or spaceports or of any description of aerodrome , flying school or spaceport; to secure that relevant assets are taken into the Secretary of State’s possession for use by or for the purposes of the armed forces of the Crown. In so far as a direction under this section conflicts with the requirements of an order under section 94, the direction is to be disregarded. In so far as a direction under this section conflicts— with the requirements of an enactment or instrument other than an order under section 94, or with any duty which arises otherwise than under an enactment or instrument, the requirements are or the duty is to be disregarded. A person directed under this section commits an offence if without reasonable excuse he contravenes or fails to comply with the direction. A person who commits an offence under subsection (7) is liable— A person (other than a person within subsection (2)(a)) who suffers direct injury or loss arising from compliance with a direction under subsection (1)(a) is entitled to receive compensation from the Secretary of State. The compensation must be of an amount agreed by the person and the Secretary of State or (in default of agreement) of an amount decided by— This section applies in any time of actual or imminent hostilities or of severe international tension or of great national emergency. The Secretary of State may by order provide for— any aerodrome or spaceport, and any aircraft or spacecraft, machinery, plant, material or thing found in or on any aerodrome or spaceport, to be taken into his possession and used by or for the purposes of the armed forces of the Crown. An order under this section may, for the purpose of securing compliance with the provisions of the order— provide for the detention of aircraft or spacecraft; make such other provision as appears to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient for securing such detention. A person must comply with an order under this section notwithstanding any other duty, however arising. An order under this section may, for the purpose of securing compliance with the provisions of the order, provide for— persons to be guilty of offences in such circumstances as may be specified in the order; persons to be liable on conviction of those offences to such penalties as may be so specified. The power under subsection (5) does not include power— to provide for offences to be triable only on indictment; to authorise the imposition, on summary conviction of an offence, of any term of imprisonment or of a fine exceeding the statutory maximum; to authorise the imposition, on conviction on indictment of an offence, of a term of imprisonment exceeding two years. Any person who suffers direct injury or loss arising from compliance with an order under this section is entitled to receive compensation from the Secretary of State. This section defines these expressions (here listed alphabetically) for the purposes of sections 93 and 94 and this section— airport, and its operator; great national emergency; range control services; relevant asset, and a person who owns or operates it; spacecraft; spaceflight activities; spaceport; United Kingdom air transport undertaking. A great national emergency is a natural disaster or other emergency which the Secretary of State thinks is or may be likely to give rise to such disruption of the means of transport that the population, or a substantial part of the population, of the United Kingdom is or may be likely to be deprived of essential goods or services. An aerodrome is an aerodrome as defined in section 105(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982. An airport is the aggregate of the land, buildings and works comprised in an aerodrome; and a person operates an airport if he manages it. A United Kingdom air transport undertaking is an undertaking which appears to the Secretary of State to have its principal place of business in the United Kingdom and which includes the provision of services for the carriage by air of passengers or cargo for hire or reward. A relevant asset is any— aerodrome or spaceport, property used in connection with the operation of an aerodrome or spaceport, aircraft or spacecraft, or property used in connection with the provision of air traffic services or range control services. An owner of a relevant asset is a person— who owns it or has a right over or interest in it, and whose consent is needed for its use by any other person. An operator of a relevant asset is a person who manages it. The following expressions have the same meaning as in the Space Industry Act 2018— range control services (see section 6 of that Act); spacecraft (see section 2(6) of that Act); spaceflight activities (see section 1(4) to (6) of that Act); spaceport (see section 3(2) and (3) of that Act). The Secretary of State may by order make provision for the allocation of assets, rights, liabilities or obligations between different sections of the Civil Aviation Authority Pension Scheme. An order under this section may include provision for or in connection with— securing that the Scheme continues to be approved for the purposes of the relevant enactments; the amendment of the Scheme; the manner in which questions arising under the order are to be determined. The reference in subsection (2) to the amendment of the Scheme includes a reference to the amendment of— the trust deed of the Scheme; the rules of the Scheme; any other instrument relating to the constitution, management or operation of the Scheme. An order under this section may be made so as to have effect from a date falling before the making of the order. In making an order under this section the Secretary of State must secure that each person falling within subsection (6) is overall in materially at least as good a position, as respects pension arrangements, as a result of the order. A person falls within this subsection if— he is or has at any time been a contributing member of the Scheme, or he is or may become entitled to benefits in respect of a person falling within paragraph (a). A contributing member of the Scheme is a member who makes, and whose employer makes in respect of him, contributions under the Scheme. The relevant enactments are— Chapter I of Part XIV of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (retirement benefit schemes); Part III of the Pension Schemes Act 1993, so far as relating to occupational pension schemes. Schedule 8 contains amendments. For the purposes of this Part these are air traffic services— providing instructions, information or advice with a view to preventing aircraft colliding with other aircraft or with other obstructions (whether in the air or on the ground); providing instructions, information or advice with a view to securing safe and efficient flying; managing the flow of air traffic with a view to ensuring the most efficient use of airspace; providing facilities for communicating with aircraft and for the navigation and surveillance of aircraft; notifying organisations of aircraft needing search and rescue facilities, and assisting organisations to provide such facilities. making an airspace change proposal to the CAA, or developing such a proposal with a view to making it to the CAA. In paragraph (1)(f), “airspace change proposal” means a proposal— to change— airspace structures within the London, Scottish or Shanwick Oceanic flight information regions, or the flight procedures to be followed in those regions or any part of them, and which is of a type that the CAA is required to develop procedures for dealing with by directions given under section 66 of this Act (air navigation: directions). The Secretary of State may by order amend the meaning of air traffic services for the purposes of this Part. For the purposes of this Part the CAA is the Civil Aviation Authority. A document required or authorised by virtue of this Part to be served on a person may be served— by delivering it to him or by leaving it at his proper address or by sending it by post to him at that address; if the person is a body corporate, by serving it in accordance with paragraph (a) on the secretary of the body; if the person is a partnership, by serving it in accordance with paragraph (a) on a partner or a person having the control or management of the partnership business. For the purposes of this section and section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 (service of documents by post) in its application to this section, the proper address of a person on whom a document is to be served is his last known address, except that— in the case of service on a body corporate or its secretary, it is the address of the registered or principal office of the body; in the case of service on a partnership or a partner or a person having the control or management of a partnership business, it is the address of the principal office of the partnership. For the purposes of subsection (2) the principal office of a company constituted under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom or of a partnership carrying on business outside the United Kingdom is its principal office within the United Kingdom. Subsection (5) applies if a person to be served under this Part with a document by another has specified to that other an address within the United Kingdom other than his proper address (as determined under subsection (2)) as the one at which he or someone on his behalf will accept documents of the same description as that document. In relation to that document that address must be treated as his proper address for the purposes of this section and section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978 in its application to this section, instead of that determined under subsection (2). This section does not apply to a document if rules of court make provision about its service. In this section references to serving include references to similar expressions (such as giving or sending). A person commits an offence if in giving information or making an application in relevant circumstances— he makes a statement which he knows to be false in a material particular, or he recklessly makes a statement which is false in a material particular. A person gives information or makes an application in relevant circumstances if he gives or makes it in pursuance of— a provision contained in or made under this Part, or a direction given, notice served or other thing done in pursuance of such a provision. No proceedings may be started in England and Wales for an offence under this section except by or with the consent of the Secretary of State or the Director of Public Prosecutions. No proceedings may be started in Northern Ireland for an offence under this section except by or with the consent of the Secretary of State or the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland. Schedule 9 contains provision about the disclosure of information. A power to make an Order in Council or an order or regulations under this Part may be exercised differently in relation to different cases or descriptions of case. An Order in Council or an order or regulations under this Part may include such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provisions as the person exercising the power thinks are necessary or expedient. A power to make an order or regulations under this Part is exercisable by statutory instrument. In subsections (1) and (3) references to a power to make an order are to a power of the Secretary of State; and in subsection (2) the reference to an order is to an order made by the Secretary of State. A statutory instrument is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament if the instrument contains an order or regulations made by the Secretary of State under any provision of this Part other than section 11, 19A, 40A, 51 or 94 , paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 or paragraph 2 of Schedule C1 . No order is to be made under section 51 , and no regulations are to be made under section 11, 19A or 40A, paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 or paragraph 2 of Schedule C1, unless a draft has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. The power to make an order under section 4 is exercisable only after consultation with the CAA, unless the exemption needs to be granted before the coming into force of section 3. The power to make an order under section 98 is exercisable only after consultation with the CAA. The power to make regulations under section 6 or 11 is exercisable only after consultation with the CAA. The power to make an order under section 57 is exercisable only with the Treasury’s consent. The power to make an order under section 77(5) is exercisable only after consultation with the CAA and holders of licences under Chapter I. The power to make an order under section 96 is exercisable only after consultation with the trustees of the Civil Aviation Pension Scheme. If apart from this subsection a draft of an order under section 51 would be treated for the purposes of the standing orders of either House of Parliament as a hybrid instrument, it is to proceed in that House as if it were not such an instrument. A person to whom a direction is given under this Part must give effect to the direction. A direction under a provision of this Part may be varied or revoked by a direction under the same provision. But subsection (2) does not apply in the case of— a direction given by the Competition and Markets Authority under section 19C; a direction given by that Authority under paragraph 8 of Schedule A1 (see instead paragraph 8(4) of that Schedule); a direction given by the Competition Appeal Tribunal under paragraph 20 of Schedule B1; a direction given by that Tribunal under paragraph 8 of Schedule C1. A direction under this Part must be in writing. The provisions mentioned in subsection (2) bind the Crown. section 3; sections 26 to 30 and 33; sections 41, 42, 44, 45 and 60; Chapter V, to the extent that it applies or modifies the operation of provisions of the Competition Act 1998; sections 93 to 95; section 104, so far as relating to other provisions of this Part which bind the Crown; Schedule 1, to the extent that it applies, amends or modifies the operation of provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986 which bind the Crown so far as affecting or relating to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 434 of that Act; Schedule 2; Schedule 3, to the extent that it applies, amends or modifies the operation of provisions of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 which bind the Crown so far as affecting or relating to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (e) of Article 378 of that Order; Schedule 6. Her Majesty may by Order in Council apply, with or without modification, any of the provisions mentioned in subsection (4) to any aircraft belonging to or exclusively employed in the service of Her Majesty. Chapter IV (except section 82); any order or regulations under any provision mentioned in paragraph (a). This section (except so far as it relates to Chapter V) has effect subject to section 106; and, so far as it relates to Chapter V, it has effect subject to section 73 of the Competition Act 1998. No contravention by the Crown of a provision contained in or made under this Part shall make the Crown criminally liable; but the High Court or in Scotland the Court of Session may, on the application of a person appearing to the Court to have an interest, declare unlawful any act or omission of the Crown which constitutes such a contravention. Notwithstanding subsection (1), the provisions contained in or made under section 3(1), 93(7) or 94(5) apply to persons in the public service of the Crown as they apply to other persons. However, section 3(1) does not apply if the services there mentioned are provided by or on behalf of the armed forces of the Crown; and the person to whom and aircraft for which the services are provided are immaterial. Nothing in section 105 or this section affects Her Majesty in her private capacity; and this subsection must be construed as if section 38(3) of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 (meaning of Her Majesty in her private capacity) were contained in this Act. Her Majesty may by Order in Council direct that any of the provisions listed in subsection (2) is to extend to any relevant overseas territory specified in the Order, with the modifications (if any) so specified. Chapter I; Chapter II; Chapter III; Chapter IV; sections 90 to 104 and Schedules 8 and 9; section 273 so far as it relates to offences under this Part. These are relevant overseas territories— any of the Channel Islands; the Isle of Man; any colony. In this section “modifications” includes additions, omissions and other alterations. Each local transport authority must— develop policies for the promotion and encouragement of safe, integrated, efficient and economic transport ... to, from and within their area, and carry out their functions so as to implement those policies. In subsection (1), “transport” means — the transport required to meet the needs of persons living or working in the authority’s area, or visiting or travelling through that area, and the transport required for the transportation of freight; andincludes facilities and services for pedestrians. Each local transport authority whose area is in England must— in developing policies in accordance with subsection (1)(a), and in carrying out their functions in accordance with subsection (1)(b), comply with the duties set out in subsection (2ZB). The duties are— to take into account any policies announced by Her Majesty's government, and to have regard to any guidance issued for the purposes of this paragraph by the Secretary of State, with respect to mitigation of, or adaptation to, climate change or otherwise with respect to the protection or improvement of the environment. The power to issue guidance under subsection (2ZB)(b) does not affect the generality of the power to issue guidance under section 112(1). Each local transport authority whose area is in Wales must also— develop policies for the implementation in their area of the Wales Transport Strategy, and Each local transport authority whose area is in England must prepare a document to be known as (or two or more documents to be known together as) the local transport plan containing— their policies under subsection (1)(a); their proposals for the implementation of those policies. Each local transport authority whose area is in Wales must prepare a document to be known as the local transport plan containing— their policies under subsection (1)(a), and their policies under subsection (2A). A local transport authority whose area is in England must, in complying with the duty under subsection (1)(b), have regard to the proposals contained in their plan. In this Part “local transport authority” means— a county council in England, a council of a non-metropolitan district in England comprised in an area for which there is no county council, an Integrated Transport Authority for an integrated transport area in England, a combined authority, a combined county authority ..., or a county council or county borough council in Wales. A county council or a council of a non-metropolitan district is not a local transport authority where— the council is a constituent council of a combined authority or a combined county authority (and here “constituent council” has the meaning given by section 104(11) of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 in relation to a combined authority and section 10(11) of the Levelling-Up and Regeneration Act 2023 in relation to a combined county authority), and the combined authority or combined county authority has completed its first full financial year. Where a local transport authority is a mayoral combined authority, the functions of the combined authority under this section are exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined authority. Where a local transport authority is a mayoral CCA, the functions of the combined county authority under this section are exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined county authority. In this Part “local transport policies” means policies developed under subsection (1)(a). A local transport authority whose area is in England must keep their local transport plan under review and alter it if they consider it appropriate to do so. The authority may replace their plan as they think fit. In preparing their local transport plan, and in keeping it under review, an authority other than an Integrated Transport Authority , a combined authority or a combined county authority must consult— the Secretary of State in relation to functions which the Secretary of State has— as highway authority by virtue of section 1 of the Highways Act 1980, or as traffic authority by virtue of section 121A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, if the local transport authority is a county council, the councils of the districts in the county (if any). In preparing their local transport plan, and in keeping it under review, an Integrated Transport Authority , a combined authority or a combined county authority must consult— each local traffic authority (within the meaning of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984) for any area within the integrated transport area of the Integrated Transport Authority or (as the case may be) the area of the combined authority or combined county authority, each county council and each district council for any area within the integrated transport area of the Integrated Transport Authority or (as the case may be) the area of the combined authority or combined county authority. In preparing their local transport plan, and in keeping it under review, the authority must consult such of the following persons as they consider appropriate— operators of any network or station, or of any railway services, in their area; operators or providers of other transport services in their area, or organisations appearing to the authority to be representative of the interests of such persons; organisations appearing to the authority to be representative of the interests of users of transport services and facilities in their area; and must also consult any other persons whom they consider appropriate. Any expression which is used in subsection (2C)(a) or (b) and in Part 1 of the Railways Act 1993 has the meaning given in that Part, taking “railway” to have its wider meaning (see section 81 of that Act). As soon as practicable after any occasion when they prepare a new plan or alter their plan, the authority must— publish the plan or the plan as altered in such manner as they think fit, and send a copy of it to the Secretary of State ... and to such other persons (if any) as may be specified in guidance under section 112(1). The authority must also— cause a copy of their local transport plan to be made available for inspection (at all reasonable hours) at such places as they think fit, give notice, by such means as they think expedient for bringing it to the attention of the public, as to the places at which a copy of it may be inspected, and supply a copy of it (or any part of it) to any person on request, either free of charge or at a charge representing no more than the cost of providing the copy. This section applies where a local transport authority is a combined authority or a combined county authority. The local transport plan prepared by the authority in accordance with section 108, and any review or alteration to the plan, only becomes operative once it is adopted by the authority. In the case of a non-mayoral combined authority or non-mayoral CCA, a resolution to adopt the strategy is to be made by a simple majority of the constituent members present and voting on that resolution at a meeting of the authority. In the case of a mayoral combined authority or mayoral CCA, a resolution to adopt the strategy is to be made by a simple majority— of the relevant members present and voting on that resolution at a meeting of the authority, which includes the mayor, or the deputy mayor acting in place of the mayor. But if— the office of mayor is vacant, and there is no deputy mayor, or the deputy mayor is unable to act in place of the mayor, the decision is to be made by a simple majority of the other relevant members present and voting on that question at a meeting of the authority. In the case of a resolution by a non-mayoral combined authority or non-mayoral CCA— each constituent member has one vote; in the case of a tied vote— no person has a casting vote; and the authority must be regarded as having disagreed to the question that the decision should be made. In the case of a resolution by a mayoral combined authority or mayoral CCA— each relevant member has one vote;

in the event of a tied vote then (unless it is a case where subsection (5) applies), the mayor, or the deputy mayor acting in place of the mayor, has a casting vote (in addition to any other vote the mayor or deputy mayor may have). In the case of a non-mayoral combined authority or non-mayoral CCA, the adoption of a local transport plan requires the consent of all constituent councils. In this section— “constituent member”, in relation to a combined authority or combined county authority— means a person appointed by a constituent council to be a member of the authority; and also includes a person acting as a member of the authority in the absence of such a member; and here “constituent council” has the meaning given in section 104(11) of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (in relation to a combined authority) or section 10(11) of the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 (in relation to a combined county authority); “relevant member” in relation to a mayoral combined authority or mayoral CCA means— a constituent member or the mayor, and also includes the deputy mayor acting in place of the mayor. A local transport authority whose area is in Wales must submit their local transport plan to the National Assembly for Wales for its approval. If the Assembly refuses to approve a plan submitted to it by a local transport authority under this section— the Assembly must give the local transport authority a statement of the reasons for its refusal, and the authority must prepare another local transport plan and submit the plan to the Assembly for its approval. If the Assembly approves a local transport plan under this section, the plan has effect when the approval is given. The Assembly may approve a local transport plan under this section if (but only if) it considers— that the plan is consistent with the Wales Transport Strategy, and that the policies contained in the plan are adequate for the implementation in the authority's area of the Strategy. A local transport authority whose area is in Wales must keep their local transport plan under review and alter it if they consider it appropriate to do so. The authority must in particular review the plan as soon as practicable after the publication of the Wales Transport Strategy or any revision of it. The authority must replace their local transport plan not later than five years after the date on which the plan was approved under section 109A. Section 109A applies to a replacement plan and a plan as altered as it applies to a plan as originally prepared. A local transport authority whose area is in Wales shall be taken to have complied with subsection (3) if (but only if)— the authority submit their replacement plan to the National Assembly for Wales for approval under section 109A before the end of the five year period mentioned in subsection (3), and the Assembly approves the plan under section 109A (whether the approval is given before or after the end of that five year period). If an authority fail to comply with subsection (3) because they fail to submit their replacement plan to the Assembly for approval under section 109A before the end of the five year period mentioned in that subsection, the authority must replace their local transport plan as soon as practicable after the expiry of the five year period. If an authority fail to comply with subsection (3) because the Assembly refuses to approve a plan submitted to it under section 109A, the authority must replace their local transport plan as soon as practicable after the refusal. As soon as practicable after their plan, or their plan as altered, has been approved under section 109A, a local transport authority whose area is in Wales must— send a copy of it to such persons (if any) as may be specified in guidance under section 112(1). Where a local transport authority whose area is in Wales have, before 1st August 2001, prepared and published a document which— contains policies developed by them for the purposes described in section 108(1)(a), and was prepared and published in accordance with guidance issued by the National Assembly for Wales, that document shall be taken to be the authority's local transport plan. But, in the case of a document which is a local transport plan by virtue of subsection (1), section 109B(3) requires its replacement not later than such date as is specified in an order made by the National Assembly for Wales (rather than not later than five years after the date on which it was approved under section 109A). For the purposes of section 109B(3), a local transport plan made before the coming into force of section 109A by a local transport authority whose area is in Wales shall be taken to have been approved under section 109A on the date on which it was made. In carrying out their functions under sections 108 to 109B, a local transport authority must have regard to any guidance concerning— the content of local transport plans ..., the preparation of such plans ..., the alteration and replacement of such plans ..., and the publication and making available of such plans ... as originally made and as altered or replaced, which is issued from time to time by the Secretary of State (as respects England) or the National Assembly for Wales (as respects Wales). In developing and implementing their policies under section 108(1) ..., a local transport authority must have regard to the transport needs of disabled persons (within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010) and of persons who are elderly or have mobility problems. Where a local transport authority is a mayoral combined authority, references in this section to the local transport authority are to the mayor acting on behalf of the combined authority. Where a local transport authority is a mayoral combined county authority, references in this section to the local transport authority are to the mayor acting on behalf of the combined county authority. A metropolitan district council that is within the area of an Integrated Transport Authority (the “ITA”)— must carry out its functions so as to implement the policies developed by the ITA in accordance with section 108(1)(b); must, in carrying out its functions in accordance with paragraph (a)— comply with the duties set out in section 108(2ZB), and have regard to the proposals contained in the applicable local transport plan; must— cause a copy of the applicable local transport plan to be made available for inspection (at all reasonable hours) at such places as it thinks fit, give notice, by such means as it thinks expedient for bringing the applicable local transport plan to the attention of the public, as to the places at which a copy of it may be inspected, and supply a copy of the applicable local transport plan (or any part of it) to any person on request, either free of charge or at a charge representing no more than the cost of providing the copy. A constituent council of a combined authority or a combined county authority— must carry out its functions so as to implement the policies developed by the combined authority or combined county authority in accordance with section 108(1)(b); “applicable local transport plan”— in relation to a metropolitan district council that is within the area of an Integrated Transport Authority, means the local transport plan of the ITA; in relation to a constituent council of a combined authority or combined county authority, means the local transport plan of that authority; “constituent council”— in relation to a combined authority, means— a county council the whole or any part of whose area is within the area of the authority, or a district council whose area is within the area of the authority; in relation to a combined county authority, means— a county council for an area within the area of the authority, or a unitary district council for an area within the area of the authority; and here “unitary district council” means a district council whose area does not form part of the area of a county council. In any enactment, a reference— to section 108(1)(b) includes subsection (2)(a) of this section; to section 108(2ZA) includes subsection (2)(b)(i) of this section; to section 108(3B) includes subsection (2)(b)(ii) of this section; to section 109(4) includes subsection (2)(c) of this section. The National Assembly for Wales may by order modify the application of sections 108 to 109B in relation to local transport authorities whose areas are in Wales for the purpose of— permitting a local transport plan to be prepared in respect of part only of an authority's area; permitting a local transport plan to be prepared by two or more authorities jointly in respect of an area comprising all or any part or parts of their areas. An order under subsection (1) made for the purpose mentioned in subsection (1)(b) may in particular include provision for— the plan to be prepared by one of the authorities concerned on behalf of both or all of them; administrative arrangements, including the apportionment of the cost of preparing the plan between the authorities concerned. Before making an order under subsection (1) the Assembly must consult the local transport authorities concerned and any other persons it considers appropriate. The National Assembly for Wales may issue to a local transport authority whose area is in Wales general or specific directions as to the manner in which they are to carry out their functions under sections 108 to 109B . Directions issued by the Assembly under subsection (1) may include in particular directions— as to the timetable in accordance with which a local transport plan or alterations to a local transport plan must be prepared; as to the action required to be taken to implement the policies contained in a local transport plan; as to the steps required to be taken to remove the effects of action which is incompatible with those policies. Directions under this section— must be in writing; may be varied or revoked by further directions under this section. Before issuing, varying or revoking directions under this section the Assembly must consult the local transport authority concerned and any other persons it considers appropriate. A local transport authority whose area is in England must, before the end of the period of one year beginning with the day on which this section comes into force, publish a bus network accessibility plan in relation to the authority’s area. A bus network accessibility plan must— identify what (if any) provision is made to assist persons with disabilities to travel on local services that have one or more stopping places in the authority’s area; set out the extent to which, in the authority’s opinion, the provision made in the authority’s area enables persons with disabilities to travel on such local services independently, and in safety and reasonable comfort; describe what (if any) further action the authority intends to take to enable persons with disabilities to travel on such local services independently, and in safety and reasonable comfort. The authority must review the plan— if there is a substantial change to the provision of local services in the authority’s area, and in any event, at least once every three years. The authority must alter the plan— following any review carried out as required by subsection (3)(a), or if the authority considers it appropriate to do so for any other reason. The authority may replace the plan as they think fit. In preparing and reviewing a bus network accessibility plan, a local transport authority must consult— persons operating local services in the authority’s area, such persons with disabilities who are users or prospective users of local services, or such organisations appearing to the authority to represent such persons, as they think fit, and any other persons whom the authority considers it appropriate to consult. In this section “persons with disabilities” means persons who have a disability within the meaning given by section 6 of the Equality Act 2010. A local transport authority whose area is in England, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, may make an advanced quality partnership scheme if they are satisfied that the scheme will contribute to the implementation of their local transport policies. An advanced quality partnership scheme is— a scheme falling within subsection (3) or (4), or a scheme falling within both subsection (3) and subsection (4). A scheme falls within this subsection if it is a scheme under which— the authority or authorities provide particular facilities in the whole or part of their area, or combined area, and operators of local services who wish to use those facilities must undertake to provide local services of a particular standard when using them. the authority or authorities take particular measures in relation to routes in the whole or part of their area, or combined area, that are served, or proposed to be served, by local services, and operators of local services who wish to provide local services with stopping places on those routes must undertake to provide local services of a particular standard when providing such local services on those routes. A scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities are satisfied that— the steps to be taken by the authority or authorities under the scheme, and the provision of local services of the standard or standards required by undertakings given under the scheme, are likely to achieve one or more of the outcomes described in subsection (6) in relation to the whole or part of their area, or combined area. The outcomes mentioned in subsection (5) are— an improvement in the quality of local services that benefits persons using those services; a reduction or limitation of traffic congestion, noise or air pollution; an increase in the use of local services or an end to, or a reduction in, a decline in the use of local services. An advanced quality partnership scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities have complied with the notice and consultation requirements imposed by section 113G. The power to make an advanced quality partnership scheme includes power to provide for— different facilities to be provided under the scheme, different measures to be taken under the scheme, or different standards of services to be provided under the scheme, as from different dates after the scheme comes into operation. An advanced quality partnership scheme must include a description of the authority's or authorities' plans for consulting such organisations appearing to the authority or authorities to be representative of users of local services as they think fit in order to seek their views on how well the scheme is working. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to advanced quality partnership schemes, local transport authorities whose areas are in England must co-operate with one another. In considering whether to make an advanced quality partnership scheme, a local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of making a scheme jointly with another such authority. If the authority or authorities making an advanced quality partnership scheme consider that it is necessary or expedient for any restrictions to be imposed on the registration of— any local services, or any local services of a particular description, they may impose those restrictions (“registration restrictions”) by specifying or describing them in the scheme. Any restrictions so imposed must be for the purpose of preventing or restricting— the provision of local services, or the variation or withdrawal of local services, in cases where the authority or authorities consider that any such provision, or (as the case may be) variation or withdrawal, of services might be detrimental to the provision of services under the scheme. Where a scheme includes any registration restrictions by virtue of subsection (1), it must also specify the criteria (“registration criteria”) by reference to which a traffic commissioner is to decide whether or not to accept an application for registration. In this section “registration”, in relation to any service— means registration of prescribed particulars of the service under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services), and includes a reference to the variation or cancellation of any such registration. The facilities which may be specified in an advanced quality partnership scheme— must be facilities provided at specific locations along routes served, or proposed to be served, by local services within the area to which the scheme relates, or facilities which are ancillary to such facilities, but may not be facilities which are required to be provided as a result of section 139 or 140. The measures which may be specified in a scheme— must be measures taken for the purpose of— increasing the use of local services serving the routes to which the measures relate or ending or reducing a decline in the use of such services, or improving the quality of local services serving the routes to which the measures relate, but may not include the provision of— facilities falling within subsection (1)(a), or facilities which are required to be provided as a result of section 139 or 140. The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about the measures which may or may not be specified in a scheme. The standard of services which may be specified in a scheme includes— requirements which the vehicles being used to provide the services must meet, including requirements about emissions or types of fuel or power, and requirements as to frequency or timing of the services, but the specification of any such requirements is not to prevent operators from providing services in excess of those requirements. The standard of services which may be specified in a scheme may also include— requirements as to the maximum fares that may be charged for particular journeys, or for journeys of particular descriptions, on services to which the scheme applies, requirements as to the ways in which passengers may pay for journeys, requirements about providing information to the public about local services or particular descriptions of local services, and requirements as to the publicising of local services, fares or ticketing arrangements or particular descriptions of local services, fares or ticketing arrangements. Requirements under subsection (5)(b), (c) and (d) may include requirements for operators of local services to co-operate with one another. A scheme may include a requirement falling within subsection (4)(b) or (5)(a) only if there are no admissible objections to the requirement from relevant operators. A scheme may include a requirement falling within subsection (4)(a) or (5)(b) that relates to an undertaking that would fall to be given under section 113C(4)(b) only if there are no admissible objections to the requirement from relevant operators. Section 113N(3) to (8) makes further provision with respect to schemes which include the requirements referred to in subsections (7) and (8). If the provision of any of the facilities or taking of any of the measures specified in an advanced quality partnership scheme requires the making of a traffic regulation order in respect of a road or other place in a metropolitan district (other than a road for which the Secretary of State is the traffic authority), the scheme may not be made unless it is made by— the local transport authority or authorities, and the local highway authority for the district, acting jointly. If the provision of any of the facilities or taking of any of the measures specified in an advanced quality partnership scheme requires the making of a traffic regulation order in respect of a road for which the Secretary of State is the traffic authority, the scheme may not be made unless it is made by— the Secretary of State, Where subsection (1) or (2) applies so that a local highway authority or the Secretary of State is a maker of the scheme, then (subject to section 113M) the relevant references to the authority or authorities include (as well as the local transport authority or authorities)— the local highway authority, or the Secretary of State. For the purpose of subsection (3) the relevant references are those in— section 113C(3), (4), (5)(a) and (7), and sections 113G to 113L, and paragraph 27(2A) of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. If an authority or authorities propose to make an advanced quality partnership scheme, they must give notice of the proposed scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for drawing it to the attention of persons in the area to which it relates. The notice must either contain full details of— any facilities specified in the scheme, any measures specified in the scheme, the standards of services specified in the scheme, any registration restrictions and registration criteria specified in the scheme, and the plans described in the scheme for consulting in order to seek views on how well the scheme is working, or state where such details may be inspected. After giving notice of the proposed scheme, the authority or authorities must consult— all operators of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, such organisations appearing to the authority or authorities to be representative of users of local services as they think fit, any other relevant local authority any part of whose area would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, a traffic commissioner, the chief officer of police for each police area covering the whole or part of that area, the Passengers' Council, the Competition and Markets Authority, and such other persons as the authority or authorities think fit. For the purpose of subsection (3)(c) the following are relevant local authorities— local transport authorities, district councils in England, National Park authorities, the Broads Authority, London transport authorities, and councils in Scotland. If, after taking the steps described in section 113G, an authority or authorities decide that it is appropriate to make the advanced quality partnership scheme, they may make it as proposed or with modifications. The scheme must specify each of the following— any facilities to be provided under it by the authority or authorities, any measures to be taken under it by the authority or authorities and the routes to which they relate, the standards of services to be provided under it by operators of local services in accordance with their undertakings given in relation to facilities or measures to be provided or taken under the scheme, any registration restrictions imposed by it and any registration criteria specified in it, the date on which it is to come into operation, the period for which it is to remain in operation, which must not be less than five years, and if— any facilities are to be provided under the scheme, any measures are to be taken under the scheme, or any standards of services are to be provided under the scheme, as from a date after the scheme comes into operation, the date as from which they are to be so provided or taken. The scheme may provide that— local services specified in it, or local services of a class specified in it, are to be excluded from the scheme, subject to such conditions (if any) as may be specified in it. The date as from which any particular facilities are to be provided, any particular measures are to be taken, or any services of a particular standard are to be provided, must not be earlier than— in the case of facilities or measures, the latest of dates A to C (see subsections (6) to (8)), and in the case of services, the later of dates A and D (see subsections (6) and (9)), unless the case falls within subsection (5). If under the scheme— particular facilities are to be provided or particular measures are to be taken by the authority or authorities, and as from the date by which the facilities are to be provided or the measures are to be taken, services of a particular standard are to be provided by operators of local services when using the facilities or when providing local services with stopping places on routes to which the measures relate, the date as from which the facilities are to be provided or the measures are to be taken (and as from which the services are to be provided) must not be earlier than the latest of dates A to D. Date A is the date 3 months after the date on which the scheme is made. Date B is the date by which, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, it will be reasonably practicable for the authority or authorities to provide the facilities or take the measures. Date C is the date 3 months after— the date on which any traffic regulation order required for the provision of any of the facilities or taking of any of the measures is made, or if more than one such order is required for the provision of the facilities or the taking of the measures, the date on which the last of them is made. Date D is the date by which, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, it will be reasonably practicable for operators of local services to provide services of the particular standard. Not later than 14 days after the date on which the scheme is made, the authority or authorities must give notice of the making of the scheme— in such manner as they consider appropriate for drawing it to the attention of persons in the area to which it relates, to all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the scheme, and to a traffic commissioner. either contain full details of the scheme or state where such details may be inspected, and if the scheme made is a modified version of that proposed, state that fact. If it appears to the authority or authorities appropriate to do so, they may decide that any of the dates specified in subsection (3) shall be postponed by such period as they think fit. A date may not be postponed under subsection (1) by a period or periods which in total exceed 12 months. The dates are— the date on which the scheme is to come into operation, the date as from which any particular facilities are to be provided under the scheme, the date as from which any particular measures are to be taken under the scheme, and the date as from which any particular services are to be provided to a particular standard under the scheme. Before making such a decision the authority or authorities must consult all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the scheme. Not later than 14 days after the date on which any such decision is made they must give notice of the decision— The authority or authorities must— provide each of the specified facilities or take each of the specified measures not later than the date specified for it to be provided or taken under the scheme, and continue to provide the facilities or keep the measures in effect throughout the remainder of the period for which the scheme is in operation. But subsection (1) does not apply in relation to any period during which the authority or authorities are temporarily unable to provide the facilities or take the measures or keep the measures in effect owing to circumstances beyond their control. Nor does it apply in the case of the Secretary of State if the Secretary of State is unable to provide the facilities or take the measures or keep the measures in effect owing to the variation or revocation of a traffic regulation order. The operator of a local service may not use facilities provided under an advanced quality partnership scheme unless— the operator has given a written undertaking to a traffic commissioner that, when using the facilities on any date, the operator will provide the service to the standard specified in the scheme that is relevant to the use of those facilities on that date, and the operator provides the service to that standard when using the facilities, except in relation to any period during which the operator is temporarily unable to do so owing to circumstances beyond the operator's control. Where a measure has been taken under an advanced quality partnership scheme, the operator of a local service may not use a stopping place on a route to which that measure relates unless— the operator has given a written undertaking to a traffic commissioner that, when using such a stopping place on any date, the operator will provide the service to the standard specified in the scheme that is relevant to the use of such a stopping place on that date, and the operator provides the service to that standard when using such a stopping place, except in relation to any period during which the operator is temporarily unable to do so owing to circumstances beyond the operator's control. But subsections (4) and (5) do not apply in relation to services which are excluded from the scheme as a result of any provision of the scheme made in accordance with section 113H(3). Where the exclusion of a local service from the scheme is made subject to conditions as a result of such a provision, those conditions are to be treated, during any period in which the scheme is in operation, as if they were prescribed particulars of the service concerned registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services). The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the specifying in advanced quality partnership schemes of— facilities which are already being provided before the schemes are proposed (“existing facilities”), and measures which are already in effect before the schemes are proposed (“existing measures”). The regulations may in particular— provide that existing facilities may not be specified if they were being provided before a date prescribed by, or determined in accordance with, the regulations, provide that existing measures may not be specified if they were in effect before such a date, provide that— particular existing facilities or classes of existing facilities, or particular existing measures or classes of existing measures, may not be specified (whenever they were first provided or taken), may be specified only in circumstances prescribed by the regulations, provide that, in circumstances prescribed by the regulations— may be specified only with the consent of a person prescribed by, or determined in accordance with, the regulations, and make provision modifying any provision of sections 113G to 113I in relation to schemes which specify existing facilities or existing measures. The authority or authorities who made an advanced quality partnership scheme may vary the scheme if they decide that it is appropriate to do so. The authority or authorities who made a scheme may revoke it before the end of the period for which it would otherwise remain in operation if all persons who have given an undertaking to provide a service to the standard specified in the scheme consent to the revocation of the scheme; and such consent must not be unreasonably withheld. If the variation of a scheme under subsection (1) would require the making of a traffic regulation order, the variation is subject to the same procedure as the making of a scheme. Any other variation of a scheme under subsection (1), or the revocation of a scheme under subsection (2), is subject to that procedure, except to the extent that the procedure is modified by regulations made under section 113N. The relevant references to the authority or authorities in relation to an advanced quality partnership scheme— include a local transport authority if it has been varied so that it relates to that authority's area, but do not include a local transport authority if it has been varied so that it no longer relates to that authority's area. But if (although the scheme does not relate to a local transport authority's area) it would do by reason of a proposed variation, those references (apart from those in section 113J) include that authority. The relevant references (apart from those in section 113C(1) and in the words before paragraph (a) of section 113C(5)) to the authority or authorities in relation to an advanced quality partnership scheme— include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it specifies traffic regulation facilities or traffic regulation measures, but do not include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it no longer specifies such facilities or measures. But if (although the scheme does not specify facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to a traffic regulation authority or measures which are traffic regulation measures in relation to a traffic regulation authority) it would do by reason of a proposed variation, those references (apart from those in section 113J) include that authority. And if (although the scheme specifies facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to a traffic regulation authority or measures which are traffic regulation measures in relation to a traffic regulation authority)— the traffic regulation order, or (where more than one) each of the traffic regulation orders, required to be made by that authority for the provision of those facilities or the taking of those measures has been revoked, and the scheme is proposed to be varied (but not so that it specifies other facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to that authority or other measures which are traffic regulation measures in relation to that authority), the relevant references (apart from those in section 113J) do not include that authority. For the purposes of this section the relevant references are those in— section 113C(1) to (7), section 113D, and In this section “traffic regulation authority” means— a local highway authority, or facilities are traffic regulation facilities, in relation to a traffic regulation authority and an advanced quality partnership scheme, if that authority was required to be a maker of the scheme because it originally specified those facilities or would have been required to be a maker of it had it done so; measures are traffic regulation measures, in relation to a traffic regulation authority and an advanced quality partnership scheme, if that authority was required to be a maker of the scheme because it originally specified those measures or would have been required to be a maker of it had it done so. The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision with respect to— the procedure to be followed when making, varying or revoking advanced quality partnership schemes, the content or operation of schemes which include— a requirement falling within section 113E(4)(b) or (5)(a), or a requirement falling within section 113E(4)(a) or (5)(b) relating to an undertaking that would fall to be given under section 113C(4)(b), the local services or classes of local services which must be, or may be, excluded from schemes, the conditions which must be, or may be, attached to such exclusions, the form and manner in which undertakings are to be given to a traffic commissioner in connection with schemes, the making of traffic regulation orders in connection with schemes, and such other incidental matters in connection with advanced quality partnership schemes as the Secretary of State thinks fit. The regulations may in particular make provision with respect to— giving notice of proposed schemes or proposed variations or revocation of schemes, objections to such proposals, the holding of inquiries or hearings into objections, modifications of such proposals, the form of schemes or variations, and giving notice of schemes which have been made or of the variation or revocation of schemes. As regards schemes which include or would include— a requirement described in subsection (1)(b)(i), or a requirement described in subsection (1)(b)(ii), regulations under subsection (1)(a) or (b) may in particular make the provision referred to in subsection (4). The provision mentioned in subsection (3) is provision— for section 113E(7) or (8) not to apply in such circumstances as may be prescribed, in prescribed circumstances where such schemes, or any provisions of such schemes, are subject to postponement under section 113I, for any such requirement not to take effect unless prescribed conditions are satisfied, as to the meaning of “admissible objection” for the purposes of section 113E(7) and (8) and subsection (5)(b) of this section, as to the meaning of “relevant operator” for those purposes, and as to the determination of any question whether an objection is an admissible objection or an operator is a relevant operator. As regards schemes which include a requirement described in subsection (1)(b)(i), regulations under subsection (1)(b) may also make provision— requiring such schemes to include provision— as respects the setting of frequencies, timings or maximum fares to which the requirements relate, for a minimum interval before any requirements as to frequencies, timings or maximum fares may next be reviewed, for a maximum interval before any such requirements must next be reviewed, as respects other circumstances in which any such requirements must or may be reviewed, and as respects revision of any such requirements after a review, and for any requirement as to frequencies, timings or maximum fares to be revised only if there are no admissible objections to the revision from relevant operators. The revision of requirements as to frequencies, timings or maximum fares under any provision included in a scheme by virtue of regulations under subsection (5)(a) is not to be regarded as a variation of the scheme for the purposes of section 113L (variation or revocation of schemes). Nothing in subsection (5) or (6) is to be taken to derogate from what may be done under or by virtue of section 113L. The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (4)(e) includes provision for and in connection with— the appointment of a person (“an adjudicator”) to make such a determination as is mentioned in that paragraph; the appointment of a person (“an assessor”) to assist an adjudicator in considering any question which appears to arise in relation to such a determination; the payment— by the Secretary of State to an adjudicator, or by the Secretary of State or an adjudicator to an assessor, of such remuneration as may be determined by or in accordance with the regulations. The Secretary of State may issue guidance concerning the carrying out by local transport authorities whose areas are in England and local highway authorities of their functions under this Part in relation to advanced quality partnership schemes. Those authorities and councils must have regard to any such guidance. A local transport authority, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, may make a quality partnership scheme if they are satisfied that the scheme will contribute to the implementation of their local transport policies (but this is subject to subsection (1A). A local transport authority whose area is in England may exercise the power to make a quality partnership scheme only if— they are acting jointly with one or more other local transport authorities, and at least one of those other local transport authorities is an authority whose area is in Wales. A quality partnership scheme is a scheme under which— operators of local services who wish to use the facilities must undertake to provide local services of a particular standard when using them. The authority or authorities must be satisfied that both the provision of those facilities and the provision of local services of that standard will— bring benefits to persons using local services in the whole or any part of their area, or combined area, by improving the quality of those services, or reduce or limit traffic congestion, noise or air pollution. If the authority or authorities consider that it is necessary or expedient for any restrictions to be imposed on the registration of— Where a scheme includes any registration restrictions by virtue of subsection (3A), it must also specify the criteria (“registration criteria”) by reference to which a traffic commissioner is to decide whether or not to accept an application for registration. In subsections (3A) to (3C) “registration”, in relation to any service,— A quality partnership scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities have complied with the notice and consultation requirements imposed by section 115. The facilities which may be specified in a scheme— requirements which the vehicles being used to provide the services must meet, and The standard of services which may be specified in a scheme may also include requirements as to the maximum fares that may be charged for particular journeys, or for journeys of particular descriptions, on services to which the scheme applies. A scheme may include a requirement falling within subsection (6)(b) or (6A) only if there are no admissible objections to the requirement from relevant operators. Section 122(3) to (5) makes further provision with respect to such schemes. The power to make a quality partnership scheme includes power to provide for different facilities, or different standards of services, to be provided under the scheme as from different dates after the scheme comes into operation. If the provision of any of the facilities requires the making of a traffic regulation order in respect of a road or other place in a metropolitan district (other than a road for which the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales is the traffic authority), the scheme may not be made unless it is made by— the local highway authority for the local authority area, If the provision of any of the facilities requires the making of a traffic regulation order in respect of a road for which the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales is the traffic authority, the scheme may not be made unless it is made by— the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales, Where subsection (7) or (8) applies so that a metropolitan district council, the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales is a maker of the scheme, then (subject to section 121) the relevant references to the authority or authorities include (as well as the local transport authority or authorities) the metropolitan district council, the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales. For the purpose of subsection (9) the relevant references are those in— subsections (2) and (4), sections 115 to 120, and section 127(7), and paragraph 27(3) of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to quality partnership schemes, local transport authorities must co-operate with one another. In considering whether to make a quality partnership scheme, a local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of making a scheme jointly with another such authority. If an authority or authorities propose to make a quality partnership scheme, they must give notice of the proposed scheme in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which it relates. The notice must either contain full details of the facilities and standards of services , and of any registration restrictions and registration criteria, or state where such details may be inspected. the chief officer of police for each police area covering the whole or part of that area, and If the authority or authorities decide that it is appropriate to make the scheme, they may make it as proposed or with modifications. the facilities to be provided under it by the authority or authorities, the standard of services to be provided under it by operators of local services, the date on which it is to come into operation, ... the period for which it is to remain in operation, which must not be less than five years. if any facilities or standards of services are to be provided under the scheme as from a date after the scheme comes into operation, the date as from which they are to be so provided. The date as from which any particular facilities, or any services of a particular standard, are to be provided must not be earlier than— in the case of facilities, the latest of dates A to C (see subsections (4B) to (4D)), in the case of services, the later of dates A and D (see subsections (4B) and (4E)), unless the case falls within subsection (4A). particular facilities are to be provided by the authority or authorities, and as from the date by which the facilities are to be provided, services of a particular standard are to be provided by operators of local services when using the facilities, the date as from which the facilities and the services are to be provided must not be earlier than the latest of dates A to D. Date B is the date by which, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, it will be reasonably practicable for the authority or authorities to provide the facilities. the date on which any traffic regulation order required for the provision of any of the facilities is made, or if more than one such order is required for their provision, the date on which the last of them is made. Not later than 14 days after the date on which the scheme is made, the authority or authorities must give notice— in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which the scheme relates, ... to all operators of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by the scheme , and to a traffic commissioner If it appears to the authority or authorities appropriate to do so, they may decide that any of the dates specified in subsection (1A) shall be postponed by such period as they think fit. A date may not be postponed under this subsection by a period or periods which in total exceed 12 months. Before making such a decision they must consult all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the scheme. to all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the scheme , and provide each of the specified facilities not later than the date specified for its provision under the scheme, and continue to provide it throughout the remainder of the period for which the scheme is in operation. But subsection (1) does not apply in relation to any period during which the authority or authorities are temporarily unable to provide the facilities owing to circumstances beyond their control. Nor does it apply in the case of the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales if he or it is unable to provide the facilities owing to the variation or revocation of a traffic regulation order. The operator of a local service may not use facilities provided under a quality partnership scheme unless— he has given a written undertaking to a traffic commissioner that, when using the facilities on any date, he will provide the service to the standard specified in the scheme as it has effect in relation to that date, and he provides the service to that standard when using the facilities, except in relation to any period during which he is temporarily unable to do so owing to circumstances beyond his control. But subsection (4) does not apply in relation to services which are excluded from the scheme as a result of any provision of the scheme made in accordance with section 116(3). Where the exclusion of a local service from the scheme is made subject to conditions as a result of such a provision, those conditions are to be treated, during any period in which the scheme is in operation, as if they were prescribed particulars registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services) of the service concerned.

The appropriate national authority may by regulations make provision about the specifying in quality partnership schemes of facilities which are already being provided before the schemes are proposed (“existing facilities”). provide that particular existing facilities or classes of existing facilities may not be specified (whenever they were first provided), provide that particular existing facilities or classes of existing facilities may be specified only in circumstances prescribed by the regulations, provide that, in circumstances prescribed by the regulations, particular existing facilities or classes of existing facilities may be specified only with the consent of a person prescribed by, or determined in accordance with, the regulations, and make provision modifying any provision of sections 115 to 117 in relation to schemes which specify existing facilities. The authority or authorities who made a quality partnership scheme may vary the scheme if they decide that it is appropriate to do so. Any other variation of a scheme under subsection (1), or the revocation of a scheme under subsection (2), is subject to that procedure, except to the extent that the procedure is modified by regulations made under section 122. The relevant references to the authority or authorities in relation to a quality partnership scheme— include a local transport authority if it has been varied so that it relates to that authority’s area, but do not include a local transport authority if it has been varied so that it no longer relates to that authority’s area. But if (although the scheme does not relate to a local transport authority’s area) it would do by reason of a proposed variation, those references (apart from those in section 118) include that authority. The relevant references (apart from those in section 114(1) and (3)) to the authority or authorities in relation to a quality partnership scheme— include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it specifies traffic regulation facilities, but do not include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it no longer specifies such facilities. But if (although the scheme does not specify facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to a traffic regulation authority) it would do by reason of a proposed variation, those references (apart from those in section 118) include that authority. And if (although the scheme specifies facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to a traffic regulation authority)— the traffic regulation order, or (where more than one) each of the traffic regulation orders, required to be made by that authority for the provision of those facilities has been revoked, and the scheme is proposed to be varied (but not so that it specifies other facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to that authority), the relevant references (apart from those in section 118) do not include that authority. section 114(1) to (4), In this section “traffic regulation authority” means— a local highway authority, the National Assembly for Wales. For the purposes of this section facilities are traffic regulation facilities, in relation to a traffic regulation authority and a quality partnership scheme, if that authority was required to be a maker of the scheme because it originally specified those facilities or would have been required to be a maker of it had it done so. The appropriate national authority may by regulations make further provision with respect to— the procedure to be followed when making, varying or revoking quality partnership schemes, the content or operation of schemes which include a requirement falling within section 114(6)(b) or (6A), the form and manner in which undertakings are to be given to a traffic commissioner in connection with schemes, such other incidental matters in connection with quality partnership schemes as the appropriate national authority thinks fit. As regards schemes which include any requirement mentioned in section 114(6)(b) or (6A), regulations under subsection (1)(a) or (aa) may in particular make provision— for section 114(6B) not to apply in such circumstances as may be prescribed, requiring such schemes to include provision falling within subsection (4), for any requirement as to frequencies, timings or maximum fares to be revised only if there are no admissible objections to the revision from relevant operators, in prescribed circumstances where such schemes, or any provisions of such schemes, are subject to postponement under section 117, for any such requirement not to take effect unless prescribed conditions are satisfied, as to the meaning of “admissible objection” for the purposes of section 114(6B) and paragraph (c) of this subsection, as to the meaning of “relevant operator” for those purposes, The provision referred to in subsection (3)(b) is provision— as respects other circumstances in which any such requirements must or may be reviewed, as respects revision of any such requirements after a review. Subsections (3)(b) and (4) have effect subject to, and in accordance with, the following provisions— the revision of requirements as to frequencies, timings or maximum fares under any provision made in accordance with those subsections is not to be regarded as a variation of the scheme for the purposes of section 120 (variation or revocation of scheme), but nothing in those subsections or in paragraph (a) of this subsection shall be taken to derogate from what may be done under or by virtue of that section. The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (3)(g) includes provision for and in connection with— by the appropriate national authority to an adjudicator, or by the appropriate national authority or an adjudicator to an assessor, The appropriate national authority may issue guidance concerning the carrying out by local transport authorities and local highway authorities of their functions under this Part in relation to quality partnership schemes. A franchising authority, or two or more franchising authorities acting jointly, may make a franchising scheme covering the whole or any part of their area, or their combined area. A franchising scheme may not be made unless the franchising authority or authorities have complied with the requirements in sections 123B to 123G. A franchising scheme is a scheme— under which the authority or authorities identify the local services that they consider appropriate to be provided in an area under local service contracts, by virtue of which those local services may only be provided in that area in accordance with local service contracts (subject to section 123O), by virtue of which the authority or authorities may grant service permits for other local services which have a stopping place in that area (subject to section 123H(5)), and under which the authority or authorities identify additional facilities that they consider appropriate to provide in that area. In this Part “franchising authority” means a local transport authority whose area is in England. In this Part “local service contract”, in relation to a franchising scheme, means an agreement that complies with section 123K(1) to (3) under which— the franchising authority or authorities grant to another person the exclusive right to operate the local services to which the contract relates, and the person undertakes to provide the local services on such terms (including in particular as to frequency, fares and standard of service) as may be specified in the agreement. The terms as to standard of service that may be specified include terms about requirements which vehicles being used to provide the service must meet, including requirements about emissions or types of fuel or power. A local service contract may be made on terms which include provision for the making of payments by the authority or authorities to the person undertaking to provide the local service. Section 88(1) of the Transport Act 1985 (application to subsidy agreements of sections 89 to 92 of that Act) does not apply in relation to local service contracts. A franchising scheme must include a description of the franchising authority's or authorities' plans for consulting such organisations appearing to the authority or authorities to be representative of users of local services as they think fit in order to seek their views on how well the scheme is working. A franchising authority's functions under this Part in relation to a franchising scheme are excluded from the functions to which section 101(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 applies, where the franchising authority is a local authority within the meaning of section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972. A franchising authority or authorities that propose to make a franchising scheme covering the whole or any part of their area, or combined area, must prepare an assessment of the proposed scheme. The assessment must— describe the effects that the proposed scheme is likely to produce, and compare making the proposed scheme to one or more other courses of action. The assessment must also include consideration of— whether the proposed scheme would contribute to the implementation of— the authority's or authorities' policies under section 108(1)(a), and other policies affecting local services that the authority or authorities have adopted and published, whether the proposed scheme would contribute to the implementation— by neighbouring local transport authorities of those authorities’ policies under section 108(1)(a), and by neighbouring relevant local authorities of other policies affecting local services that those authorities have adopted and published, how the authority or authorities would make and operate the proposed scheme, whether the authority or authorities would be able to afford to make and operate the scheme, whether the proposed scheme would represent value for money, and the extent to which the authority or authorities are likely to be able to secure that local services are operated under local service contracts. Subsections (2) and (3) do not prevent inclusion of other matters. The Secretary of State must issue guidance concerning the preparation of an assessment under this section, and that guidance may, in particular, include guidance about methods to be used when assessing a proposed scheme. Franchising authorities must have regard to any such guidance. In this section “relevant local authority” means— a local transport authority, a London transport authority, ... a Transport Partnership created under the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, or. a council in Scotland. Before preparing an assessment of a proposed franchising scheme under section 123B, a franchising authority or authorities must publish, in such manner as they consider appropriate, a notice stating that they intend to prepare such an assessment. If, after preparing an assessment of a proposed franchising scheme under section 123B, the authority or authorities wish to proceed with the proposed scheme, they must obtain a report from an independent auditor on that assessment. The auditor's report must state whether, in the opinion of the auditor— the information relied on by the authority or authorities in considering the matters referred to in section 123B(3)(d) or (e) is of sufficient quality, the analysis of that information in the assessment is of sufficient quality, and the authority or authorities had due regard to guidance issued under section 123B in preparing the assessment. The Secretary of State must issue guidance as to the matters to be taken into account by a franchising authority when selecting a person to act as an auditor. The Secretary of State must issue guidance concerning the matters to be taken into account by an auditor when forming an opinion as to whether the information relied on, and the analysis of that information, by an authority is of sufficient quality for the purposes of subsection (2). Auditors must have regard to any such guidance. For the purposes of this section an auditor is independent, in relation to an assessment of a proposed franchising scheme, if the person would not be disqualified from acting as local auditor of the accounts of the franchising authority, or any of the franchising authorities, under section 1214 of the Companies Act 2006 as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 to the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014. In this section “auditor” means a person eligible for appointment as a local auditor by virtue of Chapter 2 of Part 42 of the Companies Act 2006 as modified by Schedule 5 to the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014. This section applies if, after obtaining an auditor's report under section 123D, the authority or authorities wish to proceed with the proposed franchising scheme. publish a consultation document relating to the proposed scheme (see section 123F), publish the assessment of the proposed scheme, publish the auditor's report on that assessment, and give notice of the proposed scheme in such manner as the authority or authorities consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in the area to which it relates. A notice under subsection (2)(d) must— describe the proposed scheme, and state where copies of the proposed scheme and the documents mentioned in subsection (2)(a) to (c) may be inspected. After giving notice under subsection (2)(d), the authority or authorities must consult— all persons operating local services which have one or more stopping places in the area or areas to which the proposed scheme relates, all other persons holding a PSV operator's licence or a community bus permit who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by the proposed scheme, such persons as appear to the authority or authorities to represent employees of persons falling within paragraph (a), such persons with disabilities (within the meaning given by section 6 of the Equality Act 2010) who are users or prospective users of local services, or such organisations appearing to the authority or authorities to be representative of such persons, as they think fit, the Welsh Ministers if, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, any part of Wales would be affected by the proposed scheme, any other relevant local authority any part of whose area would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by the proposed scheme, the chief officer of police for each police area covering the whole or part of an area to which the proposed scheme relates, the Passengers' Council, and the Competition and Markets Authority. In subsection (4)(e) “relevant local authority” means— a district council, a National Park authority, a Transport Partnership created under the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, or The authority or authorities may modify the proposed scheme after consulting those persons and organisations. A consultation document under section 123E(2)(a) relating to a proposed franchising scheme must include— a description of the area to which the proposed scheme relates, a description of areas within that area for which different provision is proposed to be made, if such provision is proposed to be included in the proposed scheme, a description of the local services that are proposed to be provided under local service contracts, a description of the local services that are proposed to be excepted from regulation arising because of the proposed scheme, the date on which the scheme is proposed to be made, the date or dates by which it is proposed that local service contracts first be entered into, the period or periods it is proposed will expire between the making of local service contracts and the provision of local services under such contracts, a description of the authority's or authorities' proposed plans for consulting in order to seek views on how well the scheme is working, a statement about how, in conducting the procurement process for the provision of local services, the authority or authorities propose to facilitate the involvement of small and medium-sized operators in the provision of local services, and the date by which responses to the consultation must be received. The consultation document must also include a summary of the assessment prepared under section 123B in relation to the proposed scheme. A franchising authority or authorities that conduct a consultation under section 123E must publish a report setting out— the authority's or authorities' response to the consultation; the authority's or authorities' decision on whether to make a franchising scheme covering the whole or any part of their area or combined area. The authority or authorities must give notice of the report to a traffic commissioner. If the authority or authorities decide to make a franchising scheme, the report must set out how, in conducting the procurement process for the provision of local services, the authority or authorities will facilitate the involvement of small and medium-sized operators in the provision of local services. If a franchising authority are a mayoral combined authority, the function of deciding whether to make a proposed franchising scheme is a function of the combined authority exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined authority (including in a case where the decision is to make a scheme jointly with one or more other franchising authorities). If a franchising authority are a mayoral CCA, the function of deciding whether to make a proposed franchising scheme is a function of the combined county authority exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined county authority (including in a case where the decision is to make a scheme jointly with one or more other franchising authorities). If the authority or authorities publishing a report under section 123G have decided to make a franchising scheme covering the whole or any part of their area or combined area, they must make the scheme, and publish it, at the same time as the report under section 123G. The scheme must specify— the area to which the scheme relates, the local services intended to be provided under local service contracts, the date on which local service contracts relating to local services may first be entered into (subject to subsection (3)(b)), and the minimum period that is to expire between the making of a local service contract and the provision of a local service under the contract (subject to subsection (3)(c)). Where a scheme specifies more than one area under subsection (2)(a), the areas specified need not be contiguous. Local services may be specified for the purposes of subsection (2)(b)— by reference to the routes or places intended to be served, by describing the intended services in general terms, by any combination of the ways specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection, or in such other way as the authority or authorities think fit so as to enable the intended services to be identified. The scheme may specify— areas within the area to which the scheme relates (“scheme sub-areas”), for each scheme sub-area, the date on which a local service contract to provide a local service in that scheme sub-area may first be entered into, and for each scheme sub-area, the minimum period that is to expire between the making of a local service contract to provide such a service and the provision of such a service under the contract. Subject to regulations under section 123U, the scheme may except from regulation arising because of the scheme— local services specified in the scheme, and local services of a class specified in the scheme. If the franchising scheme relates to an area to which a relevant scheme or plan also relates, the franchising scheme must include— in a case where the relevant scheme or plan relates only to the area to which the franchising scheme relates or a part of that area, provision revoking the relevant scheme or plan, or in any other case, provision varying the relevant scheme or plan so that it ceases to relate to any part of the area to which the franchising scheme relates. A franchising scheme may not otherwise vary a relevant scheme or plan. In subsections (6) and (7)— “relevant plan” means an enhanced partnership plan, and “relevant scheme” means an advanced quality partnership scheme or an enhanced partnership scheme. If provision is made under subsection (6)(b) to vary an enhanced partnership plan or scheme so that it ceases to relate to an area, the local transport authority or authorities to whose area or combined area the plan or, in the case of a scheme, the related plan continues to relate may vary the plan or, as the case may be, the scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate in consequence of the provision made under subsection (6)(b). Section 138K(3) applies, and section 138K(4), (5) and (8) do not apply, to a variation under subsection (9). If it appears to the authority or authorities that have made a franchising scheme appropriate to do so, they may decide that— the date specified under section 123H(2)(c), or a date specified under section 123H(3)(b), is to be postponed (or further postponed). Before making such a decision they must (if possible) consult— persons operating local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the decision; other persons whom, in their opinion, it would be appropriate to consult. Within a period of 14 days beginning with the date on which any such decision is made they must give notice of the decision— to all persons operating local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the decision, and The notice must include a statement of the reasons for making the decision. Where a franchising scheme has been made, subsections (2) and (3) apply as soon as the effective time of any local service contract to which the franchising scheme relates is reached, subject to subsection (4). Sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services) do not have effect in relation to the area to which the franchising scheme relates. No local service may be provided in the area to which the franchising scheme relates (if there is a stopping place for the service in that area) unless— it is provided under a local service contract, it is an interim service (see section 123O), or it is provided under a service permit (see section 123P). If the scheme provides for scheme sub-areas, subsections (2) and (3) apply in relation to each scheme sub-area as soon as the effective time of any local service contract for the provision of a local service in that scheme sub-area is reached, as if references in subsections (2) and (3) to the area to which the scheme relates were references to the scheme sub-area. Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply in relation to— a local service which is excepted from regulation arising because of the proposed scheme by any provision of the scheme that is made under section 123H(5), ... the use of a vehicle under a permit granted under section 22 of the Transport Act 1985 , or a service falling within subsection (8). If it appears to a franchising authority that— a person is operating or has operated a local service in contravention of subsection (3), and in operating that local service, the person is failing or has failed to take all reasonable precautions and to exercise all due diligence to avoid contravening subsection (3), the authority must inform a traffic commissioner. The effective time, in relation to a local service contract, is the beginning of the day on which a local service may first be provided under the contract (see sections 123K(4) and 123L). A service falls within this subsection if it is a local service provided under an agreement entered into, where a service for the carriage of passengers by railway or tramway has been temporarily interrupted— under section 40 of the Railways Act 2005 (substitute road services), or with the person who usually provides the railway or tramway service. If a franchising scheme covers the whole or part of the combined area of two or more franchising authorities, a local service contract for a local service specified in the scheme is to be entered by the authorities acting jointly. A franchising authority or authorities may only enter into a local service contract with a person who is the holder of either— a PSV operator's licence, or a community bus permit. But subsection (2)(a) does not include a licence to which a condition is attached under section 26 of the Transport Act 1985 (power of traffic commissioner to attach conditions to licences) prohibiting the holder from using vehicles under the licence to provide local services of all descriptions or of any description to which the condition relates. A person may not provide a local service under a local service contract until— the expiry of the period that, under the scheme, must expire between the making of the contract and the provision of the local service under the contract (see section 123H(2)(d) and (3)(c)), or such later time as may be specified in the contract. Subsection (4) is subject to section 123L. If— a franchising authority or authorities enter into a local service contract, and the contract is— the first contract for the provision of a local service specified in the scheme that is entered into, or for any scheme sub-area, the first contract for the provision of a local service specified in relation to that scheme sub-area that is entered into, they must give notice of the contract to a traffic commissioner. A notice under subsection (6) must be given within a period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the local service contract in question is entered into. A local service contract may specify as the time when a local service may first be provided under the contract a time before the expiry of such period as is described in section 123K(4)(a), and that service may be provided from that time, if the authority or authorities determine that action is urgently required for the purpose of— maintaining an existing service, securing the provision of a service in place of a service which has ceased to operate, or securing the provision of a service to meet any public transport requirement which has arisen unexpectedly and ought in the opinion of the authority to be met without delay. A determination under subsection (1) must be made at or before the time that the authority or authorities enter into the contract. The franchising authority or authorities operating a franchising scheme may vary, or acting jointly may vary, the scheme. If the authority or authorities decide to vary a franchising scheme, the authority or authorities must— publish a notice of the decision, and give notice of the decision to a traffic commissioner. The notice of the decision must state the date or dates on which the variations of the scheme are to have effect. The notice must be published, and notice must be given to a traffic commissioner, within a period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the decision was made. If a franchising authority are a mayoral combined authority, the function of deciding whether to make a proposed variation is a function of the combined authority exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined authority (including in a case where the decision is to act jointly to vary a scheme). If a franchising authority are a mayoral CCA, the function of deciding whether to make a proposed variation is a function of the combined county authority exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined county authority (including in a case where the decision is to act jointly to vary a scheme). The references in subsections (1) to (6A) and Schedule 9A to the franchising authority or authorities in relation to a franchising scheme include a reference to a franchising authority who are not operating the scheme but would do so under a proposed variation. Subsections (2) to (10) of section 123H apply in relation to a franchising scheme varied in accordance with section 123M as they apply in relation to a franchising scheme made in accordance with subsection (1) of section 123H, but subject to subsection (2) of this section. Where the variation of the scheme adds to the scheme area the scheme must specify, in addition to the information previously specified under section 123H(2)(c) and (d), the date and minimum period to be specified in relation to local service contracts relating to local services to be provided in the additional area. In Schedule 9A— Parts 1 and 2 contain provision about the procedure to be followed when varying the area specified under section 123H(2)(a) in the scheme, and Part 3 contains provision about the procedure to be followed when making certain other variations of the scheme. For the purposes of this section and Schedule 9A— a variation of a franchising scheme “adds to the scheme area” if it involves adding an area to the area specified under section 123H(2)(a) in the scheme, and “the additional area” is the area added. The franchising authority or authorities operating a franchising scheme may revoke, or acting jointly may revoke, the franchising scheme. The authority or authorities may revoke the scheme only if they are satisfied that— local services which have one or more stopping places in the area to which the scheme relates are likely to be better if the scheme did not apply, the continued operation of the scheme is likely to cause financial difficulties for the authority or any of the authorities, or the burdens of continuing with the scheme are likely to outweigh the benefits of doing so. If the authority or authorities decide to revoke a franchising scheme, the authority or authorities must— The notice of the decision must state the date on which the revocation is to have effect. The date of revocation must fall after a period of six months beginning with the date on which notice of the decision is published. If a franchising authority are a mayoral combined authority, the function of deciding whether to make a proposed revocation is a function of the combined authority exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined authority (including in a case where the decision is to act jointly to revoke a scheme). If a franchising authority are a mayoral CCA, the function of deciding whether to make a proposed revocation is a function of the combined county authority exercisable only by the mayor acting on behalf of the combined county authority (including in a case where the decision is to act jointly to revoke a scheme). The revocation of a franchising scheme is subject to the same procedure as the making of a franchising scheme, except that— the procedure may be modified or excluded in its application to the revocation of a scheme by regulations under section 123U, and section 123G(3) does not apply. a franchising authority or authorities have entered into a local service contract with another person (“the operator”) about providing a local service (“the original service”) for a period, and the operator fails to provide the original service or ceases to provide the original service before the end of the period. The authority, or any one of the authorities, may provide a local service (an “interim service”) in the place of the original service or a part of it. Subsection (2) has effect notwithstanding any prohibition, restriction or limitation on the power of the authority to provide local services contained in any other enactment .... A franchising authority providing an interim service must have a PSV operator's licence to which no condition is attached under section 26 of the Transport Act 1985 (power of traffic commissioner to attach conditions to licence) prohibiting the authority from using vehicles under the licence to provide services of that description. A franchising authority may not provide an interim service after the end of the period of six months beginning with the day on which the authority begins to provide the service, subject to subsection (7). an interim service is provided, and the authority or authorities decide to enter into a local service contract with another person for the provision of a local service (a “replacement service”) that would replace the original service or a part of it, section 123K(4) does not apply in relation to the provision of the replacement service. If the authority or authorities enter into a local service contract for the provision of a replacement service, the authority or the authority providing the interim service may continue to provide it until the replacement service begins to be provided. An interim service or replacement service need not be identical to the original service, or the part of the original service, that is replaced by the interim service or the replacement service (and such a change is not to be regarded as a variation of the scheme for the purposes of section 123M). In this section “enactment” includes an enactment comprised in subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978). This section applies where a franchising scheme covers the whole or part of the area or combined area of a franchising authority or authorities. The authority or authorities, acting jointly, may grant a permit (a “service permit”) authorising a person to provide a local service in the area to which the scheme relates. An application for a service permit authorising a person to provide a particular local service in an area to which a franchising scheme relates must be made in such manner as the authority or authorities operating the scheme may determine. An application must be accompanied by such information as the authority or authorities operating the scheme may specify. If the authority or authorities so require, an application for a service permit must be accompanied by a fee for processing the application of an amount that is determined in accordance with regulations made by the Secretary of State. Regulations under subsection (3) may specify the maximum amount of the fee. The authority or authorities must grant the service permit applied for if they are satisfied that— the proposed service will benefit persons making journeys on local services which have one or more stopping places in the area to which the scheme relates, and the proposed service will not have an adverse effect on any local service that is provided under a local service contract in the area to which the scheme relates. If the application is for a service permit for a cross-boundary service, the authority or authorities may grant the permit applied for if they are satisfied that— the benefits to persons making journeys on the proposed service will outweigh any adverse effect on any local service that is provided under a local service contract in the area to which the scheme relates, or the benefits of the proposed service to the economy of the relevant area, or to persons living in that area, will outweigh any such adverse effect. If the application is for a service permit for a service that is not a cross-boundary service, the authority or authorities may grant the permit applied for if they are satisfied that the benefits of the proposed service to the economy of the area to which the scheme relates, or to persons living in that area, will outweigh any adverse effect on any local service that is provided under a local service contract in that area. The authority or authorities may not grant the service permit applied for except under subsection (5), (5A) or (5B). If the authority or authorities do not grant a service permit, they must give notice of their reasons to the applicant within a period of ten days beginning with the date on which they decide not to grant the service permit. “cross-boundary service”, in relation to a franchising scheme, means a service that— has one or more stopping places in the area to which the scheme relates, and has one or more stopping places outside that area; “relevant area”, in relation to a cross-boundary service, means the combined area of each— local transport authority, council in Scotland, and Transport Partnership created under the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, in which the service has a stopping place. A franchising authority or authorities may publish a notice specifying the conditions, or descriptions of conditions, that they may attach to a service permit. A franchising authority or authorities may— withdraw a notice under subsection (1), and if an earlier notice under subsection (1) is withdrawn, publish another notice under subsection (1). A franchising authority or authorities may only specify in a notice under subsection (1) conditions that are specified, or are of a description specified, in regulations made by the Secretary of State. Regulations under subsection (3) may in particular provide for conditions requiring holders of service permits to participate in ticketing arrangements. Before the authority or authorities publish a notice under subsection (1) (or withdraw such a notice), they must consult— persons operating local services which have one or more stopping places in the area to which the scheme relates, and If a notice under subsection (1) is published, the franchising authority or authorities may attach to— a service permit granted by them after the notice is published, or a service permit already granted by them, conditions, or conditions of a description, specified in the notice. If a notice under subsection (1) is withdrawn, conditions attached to service permits granted by the franchising authority or authorities before it was withdrawn cease to have effect (subject to being attached again under subsection (6)(b)). If the authority or authorities grant a service permit with conditions, they must give notice of their reasons for doing so to the applicant within a period of 14 days beginning with the date on which they grant the service permit with those conditions. If the authority or authorities attach conditions to a service permit after it is granted, they must give notice of their reasons for doing so to the holder of the service permit within a period of 14 days beginning with the date on which they attach those conditions. A franchising authority or authorities may revoke or suspend a service permit granted by them. The grounds on which a franchising authority or authorities may revoke or suspend a service permit are— if the permit was granted under subsection (5) of section 123Q, that a matter in paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection is not satisfied as regards the service to which the service permit relates, if the permit was granted under subsection (5A) or (5B) of that section, that the authority or authorities are no longer satisfied as mentioned in the subsection in question, that the holder of the service permit has failed to comply with a condition attached to the service permit, and that the public would be endangered if the service continued to operate. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the period of notice that must expire before a revocation or suspension takes effect. The regulations may, in particular, enable a franchising authority or authorities to revoke or suspend a service permit with immediate effect if the permit is revoked or suspended on the ground mentioned in subsection (2)(c). A service permit is of no effect during a period of suspension. A person whose application for a service permit is refused may appeal against the refusal. A person who is granted a service permit with conditions may appeal against the attaching of the conditions or any of them. A person to whose service permit conditions are attached after the service permit is granted may appeal against the attaching of the conditions or any of them. A person whose service permit is revoked or suspended may appeal against the revocation or suspension. An appeal under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) is to be made to a traffic commissioner. On an appeal under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4), a traffic commissioner may— uphold the decision, quash the decision, or substitute a decision for the decision made. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about appeals under this section including, in particular, provision— as to the time within which an appeal to a traffic commissioner must be brought, enabling a traffic commissioner to hold a hearing, requiring a traffic commissioner to hold a hearing if requested by the appellant, as to the time within which a hearing must be held, and as to the time within which an appeal must be determined. A person may appeal to the Upper Tribunal against a decision of a traffic commissioner under subsection (6). For the purposes of section 13(2) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (appeals to Court of Appeal etc against decisions of the Upper Tribunal) the following persons are to be treated as parties to a case— the person who appealed under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4), the franchising authority or authorities whose decision was appealed, and a traffic commissioner. the procedure to be followed when making, varying or revoking franchising schemes, the local services or classes of local services which are to be, or may be, excepted from regulation arising because of the scheme, and such other incidental matters in connection with franchising schemes as the Secretary of State thinks fit. giving notice of proposed schemes or the proposed variation or revocation of schemes, The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision with respect to service permits. The Secretary of State may also make regulations modifying or excluding the application of provisions of this Part, so far as relating to franchising schemes, in cases where a franchising authority, or two or more franchising authorities acting jointly— propose or decide to vary or revoke a scheme under section 123M or 123N, or having varied a scheme under section 123M, propose or decide to postpone a date on which a local service contract to provide a local service specified in the scheme may first be entered into. The Secretary of State may by regulations make such transitional provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate in connection with— the making of franchising schemes, the application of section 123J in relation to an area (effect of local service contracts: sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 and provision of services), the variation of franchising schemes, and the revocation of franchising schemes. The regulations may in particular provide that in prescribed circumstances— any provision of sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services), or of sections 89 to 92 of that Act (obligation to invite tenders etc), which would otherwise have effect is not to have effect or is to have effect with such modifications as may be prescribed, or any such provision which would not otherwise have effect is to have effect or is to have effect with such modifications as may be prescribed, in relation to the whole or any part of the area to which the scheme relates. Regulations made by virtue of subsection (2) may in particular provide for the period in section 6(8)(a) of the Transport Act 1985 to be, for applications to vary or cancel the registration of services that have one or more stopping places in the area to which a franchising scheme relates, the period specified in a notice issued by the authority or authorities that made the franchising scheme. The regulations may impose requirements in relation to notices issued as mentioned in subsection (3) that include (but are not limited to) requirements— as to the time when the notice may be issued, as to the publication of the notice, as to sending a copy of the notice to a traffic commissioner, and as to the period, not exceeding 112 days, that may be specified in the notice. Regulations made by virtue of subsection (2) may in particular provide for cases where local services continue to be provided in an area under local service contracts after a franchising scheme— is revoked, or is varied so as no longer to relate to that area. The regulations may— prohibit the registration of a service, or a variation of the registration of a service, under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 so far as the service, or the service as varied, would be provided in that area, except in a case where the service, or the service as varied, would be a service that, under the scheme as it had effect before it was revoked or varied, could have been provided in that area under a local service contract, and require a traffic commissioner to register a service on an application by a person who, immediately before the scheme was revoked or varied, provided the same service under a service permit. Any regulations made by virtue of subsection (1)(a) are not to have effect in the case of any franchising scheme as respects any time before the making of the scheme. The Secretary of State may issue guidance concerning the exercise by franchising authorities of their functions under this Part in relation to franchising schemes. Subsection (3) applies to a situation in which— at the effective time of a local service contract, local services cease to be provided by a person (the “former operator”) in— the area to which the relevant franchising scheme relates, or in the case of a franchising scheme which provides for scheme sub-areas, the relevant scheme sub-area, in accordance with section 123J(3), and at the same time, a person (the “new operator”) begins to provide local services in that area under that local service contract. Subsection (3) also applies to a situation in which— local services which, at the effective time of a local service contract, a person (the “former operator”) would be required by section 123J(3) to cease providing in— the area mentioned in subsection (1)(a)(i), or the area mentioned in subsection (1)(a)(ii) (as the case may be), cease to be provided by the former operator before the effective time of that local service contract, and at the same time as those local services cease to be provided by the former operator, a person (the “new operator”) begins to provide local services in that area under an agreement which the authority or authorities operating the relevant franchising scheme entered into by reason of the cessation of the local services referred to in paragraph (a). Any situation to which this subsection applies is to be treated as a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) (whether or not TUPE would apply apart from this subsection). For the purposes of TUPE, the organised grouping of employees that is subject to the relevant transfer consists of those employees of the former operator whose employment is principally connected with the provision of the local services referred to in subsection (1)(a) or (as the case may be) the local services referred to in subsection (2)(a). Any situation which by virtue of this section is treated as a relevant transfer for the purposes of TUPE is also to be treated as a relevant transfer within the meaning of TUPE for the purposes of— sections 257 and 258 of the Pensions Act 2004, and any regulations made under section 258 of that Act. The Secretary of State may make regulations supplementing the provision made by this section. The provision that may be made by regulations under subsection (6) includes— provision for determining, for the purposes of subsection (4), whether a person's employment is principally connected with the provision of any particular local services (including provision for or in connection with the appointment of a person to make such determination);

provision for determining, in the case of any particular organised grouping of employees, the particular new operator who is to be the transferee for the purposes of TUPE (including provision for or in connection with the appointment of a person to make such determination); provision requiring any person operating local services in the area to which a franchising scheme relates to provide the authority or authorities operating the scheme with such information as may be prescribed, at such time as may be prescribed, about such of that person's employees as would fall within subsection (4) if the person ceased to provide those services in the circumstances described in subsection (1)(a); provision requiring the authority or authorities operating a franchising scheme to provide all persons operating local services in the area to which the scheme relates with such information as may be prescribed, at such time as may be prescribed, so as to enable such persons to comply with any requirement imposed by virtue of paragraph (c) of this subsection; provision requiring the authority or authorities operating a franchising scheme to ensure that any local service contract entered into with a person under the scheme, or any other agreement made with a person for the provision of local services in the area to which the scheme relates, is made on terms— that require the person, in the event of there being any transferring employees, to secure pension protection for every transferring employee, or every transferring employee of a prescribed description, who as an employee of the former operator had rights to acquire pension benefits, and that, so far as relating to the securing of pension protection for a transferring employee, are enforceable by the employee. “transferring employee” means an employee of a former operator whose contract of employment becomes, either by virtue of TUPE or by virtue of this section, a contract of employment with a new operator; “pension protection” is secured for a transferring employee if after the change of employer referred to in paragraph (a)— the employee has, as an employee of the new operator, rights to acquire pension benefits, and those rights are of such description as is prescribed by regulations. The Secretary of State must exercise the power conferred by this section to make regulations containing provision falling within subsection (7)(e) so as to ensure— that pension protection is required to be secured for every transferring original employee who, as an employee of the original operator, had rights to acquire pension benefits, and that the rights to acquire pension benefits which a transferring original employee has as an employee of the new operator by virtue of paragraph (a) are rights which— are the same as the rights the transferring original employee had as an employee of the original operator, or under provision made by regulations, count as being broadly comparable to, or better than, those rights. For the purposes of subsection (9)— “transferring original employee” means a transferring employee— who immediately before the relevant date was employed by a person (the “original operator”) providing local services in the area to which the relevant franchising scheme relates, and whose contract of employment— was, from that date until the change of employer referred to in subsection (8)(a), a contract of employment with the original operator, or on each occasion when the employee was subject to a relevant transfer became, either by virtue of TUPE or by virtue of this section, a contract of employment with a person providing local services in the area referred to in paragraph (a); “relevant date”, in relation to a franchising scheme, means— the date on which the scheme was made, or where— the local services being provided by the original operator were not subject to the scheme when it was made, and as a result of the variation of the scheme, those services became subject to the scheme, the date on which that variation was made; “relevant transfer” means anything that is, or is to be treated as, a relevant transfer for the purposes of TUPE. A local transport authority for an area in Wales, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, may make a quality contracts scheme covering the whole or any part of their area, or combined area, if they are satisfied that— the proposed scheme will result in an increase in the use of bus services (see subsection (9B)) in the area to which the proposed scheme relates, the proposed scheme will bring benefits to persons using local services in the area to which the proposed scheme relates, by improving the quality of those services, the proposed scheme will contribute to the implementation of the local transport policies of the authority or authorities, the proposed scheme will contribute to the implementation of those policies in a way which is economic, efficient and effective, and any adverse effects of the proposed scheme on operators will be proportionate to the improvement in the well-being of persons living or working in the area to which the proposed scheme relates and, in particular, to the achievement of the objectives mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d). A quality contracts scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities— have complied with the requirements of section 125, and ... have obtained the approval of the Welsh Ministers in accordance with section 126, . . . A quality contracts scheme is a scheme under which— the authority or authorities determine what local services should be provided in the area to which the scheme relates and any additional facilities or services which should be provided in that area, and local services may only be provided in that area in accordance with quality contracts (subject to section 127(4) and section 132C). In this Part “quality contract”, in relation to a quality contracts scheme, means an agreement entered into under section 130 or 131 under which— the authority or authorities grant to another person the exclusive right to operate the local services to which the contract relates, and that person undertakes to provide the services on such terms (including in particular as to frequency, fares and standard of service) as may be specified in the agreement. A quality contract may be made on terms— which include provision for the making of payments by the authority or authorities to the person undertaking to provide the local service, and requiring one or more of the parties to provide additional facilities or services. Section 88(1) of the Transport Act 1985 (application to subsidy agreements of sections 89 to 92 of that Act) does not apply in relation to quality contracts. The authority or authorities must keep under review the extent to which quality contracts entered into by them are complied with. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to quality contracts schemes, local transport authorities must co-operate with one another. In considering whether to make a quality contracts scheme, a local transport authority for an area in Wales must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of making a scheme jointly with another such authority. The reference in subsection (1)(a) to increasing the use of bus services includes a reference to reducing, arresting or reversing decline in the use of bus services. If an authority or authorities propose to make a quality contracts scheme, they must— publish, in such manner as they think fit, a consultation document complying with subsection (1A), supply a copy of that document to each of the persons mentioned in subsection (3), and give notice in accordance with subsection (2) of the proposed scheme in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which it relates, ... The consultation document mentioned in subsection (1)(a) must include— a description of the proposed scheme; a statement of the reasons why the authority or authorities are satisfied that the conditions in subsection (1) ... of section 124 are met; a description of any arrangements which the authority or authorities intend to make (including arrangements with other authorities or other persons) for or in connection with the implementation of the scheme; a statement of how any costs which the authority or authorities expect to incur under the scheme are to be defrayed; a declaration by the chief finance officer or officers of the authority or authorities that, after taking into account— any estimated income from fares, and any grants from Ministers of the Crown or government departments, any remaining funding required to implement the scheme can be provided from other resources available to the authority or authorities; the date by which any written responses to the consultation must be submitted to the authority or authorities. The description of the proposed scheme contained in the consultation document in accordance with subsection (1A)(a) must include— an outline of the local services which are proposed to be provided under it; a statement of any proposed exclusions from the scheme by virtue of section 127(4). In subsection (1A)(e) “chief finance officer”, in relation to a local transport authority, means that officer of the authority who is responsible under— section 151 of the Local Government Act 1972, or section 73 of the Local Government Act 1985, for making arrangements for the proper administration of the financial affairs of the authority. state where a copy of the scheme and the consultation document may be inspected, ... all persons operating local services in the area to which it relates, all other persons holding a PSV operator’s licence or a community bus permit who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, ... a traffic commissioner, the chief officer of police for each police area covering the whole or part of the area to which the proposed scheme relates, and For the purpose of subsection (3)(d) the following are relevant local authorities— The authority or authorities may modify the proposed scheme following those consultations. If, having complied with the requirements of section 125, the authority or authorities wish to proceed with the proposed scheme, they must apply to the appropriate national authority for its approval. The application must include— their reasons for wishing to make the scheme, and such other information as the appropriate national authority may reasonably require. Any person who was consulted, or who is aggrieved at not being consulted, under section 125(3) may make written representations to the appropriate national authority about the scheme. The appropriate national authority may approve the proposed scheme, with or without modifications, if it is satisfied that— the conditions set out in paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 124(1) ... are met, and it is in the interests of the public that the scheme is made. If the appropriate national authority proposes to approve the scheme with modifications, it must first inform the authority or authorities and they must— consult such of the persons they consulted under section 125(3) as would, in their opinion, be affected by those modifications, and inform the appropriate national authority as to the outcome of that consultation. After being informed of that outcome the appropriate national authority may approve the scheme either with those modifications or without modifications. The authority or authorities who proposed the scheme may make it— ... in accordance with the requirements of subsection (1B). the Welsh Ministers approve the scheme under section 126, the authority or authorities who proposed it may make it, as approved, at any time not later than 6 months after the date of the approval. the area to which it relates, the date on which it is to come into operation or, if the scheme provides for different provisions to come into operation on different dates, or on different dates for different purposes, those dates in the case of each provision, and the period for which it is to remain in operation, which must not be more than ten years from the earliest date on which the scheme or any of its provisions comes into operation. No date that is to be specified under subsection (2)(b) may be earlier than 6 months after the scheme is made. The scheme must outline— the local services which are to be provided under quality contracts, and the features of the proposed invitations to tender for quality contracts. The scheme must specify the date or dates on which it is proposed that the authority or authorities will issue invitations to tender for the provision of any services to which the scheme relates (see section 130). The scheme may contain such ancillary provisions as the authority or authorities think fit. The scheme may include provision— varying or revoking any quality partnership scheme which only relates to the area of the authority, or combined area of the authorities, by which the scheme is made, or varying any other quality partnership scheme to the extent that it so relates. If provision is made under subsection (6)(b) to vary the quality partnership scheme so that it no longer so relates, such of the authorities by which it was made as did not make the quality contracts scheme— may (subject to the provision so made) vary it if they decide that it is appropriate to do so, or may revoke it if all persons who have given an undertaking to provide a service to a standard specified in the scheme consent to the revocation of the scheme (which consent must not be unreasonably withheld); and subsections (3) and (4) of section 120 apply to a variation or revocation under this subsection. Not later than 14 days after the date on which the scheme is made, the authority or authorities must— give notice in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which the scheme relates, and send a copy of the scheme to a traffic commissioner. The notice must state— that the scheme has been made, where a copy of the scheme may be inspected, and the date or dates on which the scheme, or the different provisions of the scheme, are to come into operation. The appropriate national authority may by order vary any of the periods mentioned in subsection ... (1B) or (2A). If it appears to the authority or authorities who made the scheme appropriate to do so, they may decide that the date on which the scheme , or any particular provision of the scheme, would otherwise come into operation , or come into operation for any particular purpose or purposes, shall be postponed by such period as they think fit (subject to any provision of regulations made under subsection (4)). Before making such a decision they must consult all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the decision. to all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the decision , and The appropriate national authority may by regulations make provision with respect to postponements under subsection (1). The regulations may in particular make provision— as to the maximum period of postponements, and requiring authorities to re-issue invitations to tender in accordance with section 130. During any period in which the scheme , or (in the case of a scheme which provides for different provisions to come into operation on different dates) any provision of the scheme, is in operation— sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services) do not have effect in relation to the area to which the scheme, or that provision, relates, and no local service shall be provided in that area (if there is a stopping place for the service in that area) unless it is provided under a quality contract or is an interim service (see section 132C). But subsection (1) does not apply — so as to prevent the application of sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 in relation to any service by virtue or in consequence of section 6B of that Act (application for registration or variation where quality contracts scheme in force), so as to prevent the provision of any service registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 by virtue of section 6B of that Act, or in relation to services which are excluded from the scheme as a result of any provision of the scheme made in accordance with section 127(4). Where the exclusion of a local service from the scheme is made subject to conditions as a result of such a provision, those conditions are to be treated, during any period in which the scheme is in operation, as if they were prescribed particulars registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 of the service concerned. The authority or authorities must invite tenders in accordance with section 130 not later than— three months, or such other period as the appropriate national authority may by order specify, after the scheme has been made. The authority, or the authorities acting jointly, must invite tenders for the provision of services to which the scheme, or each provision of the scheme, relates for such period and on such basis as may be specified in the invitation to tender. The period specified must not exceed 10 years. Subject to subsection (4), such an invitation— must be issued generally, in such manner as the authority or authorities consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons who may be interested, and must also be issued individually to all persons who have given to that authority or any of those authorities a written notice indicating that they wish to receive invitations to tender for the provision of local services of a description to which the invitation relates. Such a notice must specify the address to which such an invitation is to be directed, and it shall be sufficient for the purposes of subsection (3)(b) if the authority or authorities send the invitation to the person giving such a notice at the address so specified. The authority or authorities may only accept a tender submitted by a person who is the holder of either— a PSV operator’s licence, or But subsection (5)(a) does not include a licence to which a condition is attached under section 26 of the Transport Act 1985 (power of traffic commissioner to attach conditions to licences) prohibiting the holder from using vehicles under the licence to provide local services of all descriptions or of any description to which the invitation relates. After entering into a quality contract, the authority or authorities must give notice to a traffic commissioner of— the local services to be provided in accordance with the contract, and the duration of the contract. The appropriate national authority may by regulations make provision requiring authorities to publish prescribed information about tenders submitted to them in accordance with this section or about their reasons for entering into particular quality contracts. Section 130 does not apply in any case where it appears to the authority or authorities that action is urgently required for the purpose of— The appropriate national authority may by regulations make provision for further exceptions from section 130, including in particular with respect to— cases in which no tender, or no acceptable tender, is submitted in response to an invitation to tender issued under section 130(1) or under any provision made by virtue of subsection (5)(a), and agreements of a prescribed description. The appropriate national authority may make regulations fixing the maximum duration of a quality contract entered into under subsection (1) or under any provision made by virtue of subsection (2). The appropriate national authority may by regulations make further provision with respect to exceptions from section 130. Regulations under subsection (4) may in particular— require authorities to invite tenders for the provision of a service which is the subject of a quality contract made under subsection (1) or under any provision made by virtue of subsection (2), and require authorities to publish prescribed information (including as to their reasons for entering into particular quality contracts) or to give notices. If it appears to them appropriate to do so, the authority or authorities who made a quality contracts scheme (other than any to whose area the scheme no longer relates) may decide that the scheme should continue in operation for a further period, with or without modification. Before making such a decision, they must, unless the proposal that the scheme should continue is an exempt continuation proposal (see section 131B), comply with the requirements of— section 124(2)(b) (approval by Welsh Ministers) ... Section 125 applies in relation to the continuation of a scheme under this section as it applies in relation to the making of a scheme, but with the following modifications— any reference to a proposal to make a scheme is to be read as a reference to a proposal for the continuation of a scheme, any reference to the proposed scheme is to be read as a reference to the scheme as proposed to continue in operation, and with the further modifications specified in subsections (4) and (5), but this is subject to such modifications or exclusions as may be prescribed by regulations under section 133. The consultation document that is to be published by virtue of section 125(1)(a), as applied by subsection (3), must (instead of complying with section 125(1A)) include— a description of the scheme, together with any proposed modifications to it; a statement of the opinion of the authority or authorities as to the effectiveness of the scheme in achieving the objectives set out in paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 124(1) ... up to the date of the report; a statement of the reasons why they are satisfied that the scheme as proposed to be continued (with any proposed modifications) will meet the conditions in subsection (1) ... of section 124; a description of any arrangements which the authority or authorities intend to make (including arrangements with other authorities or other persons) for or in connection with the continuation of the scheme; a statement of the period for which it is proposed that the scheme should continue in operation, which must not be more than a further 10 years; if the authority or authorities consider that the proposal for the scheme to continue is an exempt continuation proposal, a statement of that fact; any remaining funding required to continue the scheme in operation can be provided from other resources available to the authority or authorities; subsection (1B) of section 125 (matters to be included in the description of the proposed scheme) applies for the purposes of subsection (5)(a) as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1A)(a) of that section, and subsection (1C) of that section (meaning of “chief finance officer”) applies for the purposes of subsection (5)(h) as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1A)(e) of that section. The consultation document mentioned in subsection (5) must be published and supplied in accordance with section 125(1)(a) and (b) (as applied by this section) not less than 12 months before the scheme’s expiry date. For the purposes of this section, a scheme’s “expiry date” is the later of the following dates— the end of the period specified in the scheme in accordance with section 127(2)(c), if the scheme has been continuing in operation by virtue of the previous application of this section, the end of the period for which it is so continuing in operation. The period for which a scheme continues in operation by virtue of a decision under subsection (1) may begin— on such day falling before, on, or immediately after the scheme’s expiry date as the authority or authorities decide, or if the circumstances are such that the continuation of the scheme cannot begin on a day falling within paragraph (a), on such later day as the authority or authorities decide in accordance with regulations made by the appropriate national authority for the purposes of such circumstances. If the authority or authorities publish and supply a consultation document in accordance with subsection (7), the scheme remains in operation (without any modifications proposed by them under subsection (1)) until— in a case where the scheme is to continue in operation for a further period, the day before the beginning of that period, or in any other case, the scheme’s expiry date. Section 130 (tendering) applies to a scheme that continues in operation under this section (whether or not the proposal for the scheme to continue in operation was an exempt continuation proposal) but subject to regulations made by the appropriate national authority under section 133(3). For the purposes of this Part a proposal that a quality contracts scheme should continue in operation is an “exempt continuation proposal” if— any one or more of Conditions 1 to 3 are met and Conditions A and B are met, or the circumstances are as prescribed in regulations made by the appropriate national authority. Condition 1 is that it is not proposed that the area to which the continuation scheme relates is to be greater than the area to which the existing scheme relates. Condition 2 is that it is proposed that the area to which the continuation scheme relates is to be greater than the area to which the existing scheme relates, but— the additional area proposed to be included falls wholly within the area or combined area of the authority or authorities proposing the continuation of the scheme, and it is not proposed that under the continuation scheme any descriptions of local services are to be provided under quality contracts in addition to the descriptions of local services so provided under the existing scheme. Condition 3 is that during the period while the existing scheme has been in force— there has been a change in the area of the authority, or of any of the authorities, that last made or continued the scheme, or a different authority has become the local transport authority for some or all of the area to which the scheme relates, but it is not proposed that under the continuation scheme any descriptions of local services are to be provided under quality contracts in addition to the descriptions of local services so provided under the existing scheme. Condition A is that it is not proposed under the continuation scheme that any local services which, immediately before the coming into force of that scheme, were unregulated services are under the continuation scheme to be provided under quality contracts. Condition B is that it is not proposed under the continuation scheme that any services which, immediately before the coming into force of that scheme, were excluded services in the case of the existing scheme are not to be excluded services in the case of the continuation scheme. “the continuation scheme” means the scheme as proposed to continue in operation; “excluded services”, in the case of any quality contracts scheme, means any local services, or class of local services, which are excluded from the scheme by virtue of section 127(4); “the existing scheme” means— the scheme as last continued or varied, or if the scheme has not previously been continued or varied, the scheme as originally made; “unregulated services” means any local services provided otherwise than— under a contract with one or more local transport authorities, or by an authority or authorities acting under section 132C(2) (power to provide interim services in exceptional circumstances); and any reference to the coming into force of a scheme includes a reference to the coming into force of any particular provision of it. See also section 131E (which makes provision about appeals relating to exempt continuation proposals). This section has effect with respect to the continuation in operation under section 131A (or the proposed continuation in operation under that section) of a quality contracts scheme for an area in Wales (whether with or without modifications). Subsections (2) and (3) to (9) of section 127 apply in relation to the continuation of the scheme as they apply in relation to the making of a scheme, but with the modifications in subsection (4). Unless the proposal for the continuation of the scheme— is an exempt continuation proposal, or in a case where the authority or authorities have decided that the scheme should continue, was such a proposal, subsections (1)(b) and (1B) of section 127 also apply in relation to the continuation of the scheme, and with the modifications in subsection (4). The modifications are— any reference to proposing to make a scheme is to be read as a reference to proposing the continuation of a scheme, any reference to making a scheme is to be read as a reference to deciding that a scheme should continue in operation, the references in section 127(2)(b) and (9)(c) to the date or dates on which the scheme is, or provisions of the scheme are, to come into operation are to be read as references to the day decided by the authority or authorities by virtue of section 131A(9), but further or different modifications, or exclusions, may also be made by regulations under section 133(3)(b). Subsection (6) applies in any case where— an authority or authorities propose that a quality contracts scheme for an area in Wales should continue in operation (with or without modification) under section 131A, and the proposal is not an exempt continuation proposal. In any such case, section 126 (approval by Welsh Ministers of proposed schemes for areas in Wales) applies in relation to a proposal for the continuation of a scheme as it applies in relation to a proposal to make a scheme, but with the modifications set out in subsection (7). any reference to a proposed scheme is to be read as a reference to a proposal for a scheme to continue in operation under section 131A; the reference in section 126(2)(a) to wishing to make a scheme is to be read as a reference to wishing that a scheme should continue in operation; any reference to any conditions set out in any paragraphs of section 124(1) being met is to be read as a reference to those conditions being met by the scheme as proposed to continue in operation (with any proposed modifications); any reference to section 125 or any provision of that section is to be read as a reference to that section or provision as it has effect by virtue of section 131A. If, acting on the basis that the proposal for the continuation of the scheme is an exempt continuation proposal, the authority or authorities decide that the scheme is to continue, they must— publish in such manner as they think fit, and within the time allowed, a notice announcing their decision on the proposal, supply a copy of that notice to each of the persons mentioned in section 125(3) as it applies by virtue of section 131A, and give notice of the decision in accordance with section 127(8) and (9). For the purposes of subsection (8)(a), the time allowed is the period of 6 months following the date of publication of the consultation document required by section 125(1)(a) as it applies by virtue of section 131A. This section applies where an authority or authorities who propose that a quality contracts scheme should continue in operation (with or without modifications) under section 131A— decide that the proposal is an exempt continuation proposal, and acting on the basis of that decision, decide that the scheme should so continue in operation. Any person falling within subsection (3) may appeal to the Upper Tribunal against— the decision of the authority or authorities that the proposal is an exempt continuation proposal, or the decision of the authority or authorities that the scheme is to continue in operation (with or without any modifications). any person who was consulted under section 125(3) (as it applies by virtue of section 131A in a case where the proposal is an exempt proposal), any person who was not so consulted, but who, in the opinion of the Upper Tribunal, ought to have been so consulted. An appeal under this section may be— on a point of law, or on a question of fact. On an appeal under this section the Upper Tribunal shall have power— to make such order as they think fit, or to remit any matter (with or without directions) to the authority or authorities for their consideration or determination or for such other purposes as the Tribunal may direct. The powers of the Tribunal on an appeal under this section include power to do any one or more of the following— dismiss the appeal in whole or in part, remit the matter to the authority or authorities with one or more directions under subsection (7), direct the authority or authorities to vary the scheme, as it continues or is to continue in operation, in such manner as the Tribunal may specify in the direction (but see subsection (8)), quash the whole or any part of the decision of the authority or authorities (but see subsection (9)). A direction under this subsection is a direction for the authority or authorities to do each of the following— consider or reconsider such matters as may be specified in the direction, as respects those matters, consult or further consult the persons mentioned in section 125(3) as it applies by virtue of section 131A in a case where the proposal is an exempt continuation proposal, make such variations of the scheme, as it continues or is to continue in operation, as may in consequence appear appropriate to the authority or authorities. The Tribunal may give a direction under this section to vary a scheme by reducing the area to which it relates only if they are of the opinion that the conditions in section 132(3) are met. The power of the Tribunal under this section to quash a decision of an authority or authorities that a scheme should continue in operation under section 131A is exercisable only if the Tribunal are of the opinion that there are defects in the scheme which are not capable of being remedied by varying the scheme under or by virtue of subsection (6)(b) or (c). If, on an appeal under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2), the Tribunal decide that the proposal for the scheme to continue in operation was not an exempt continuation proposal— they must allow the appeal to that extent, they must remit the matter to the authority or authorities, with or without directions, and subsections (11) to (14) have effect. The directions that the Tribunal may give under this section include— directions to take any action specified in the directions for the purpose of remedying any failure to comply with requirements of this Part that have effect where a proposal for continuation under section 131A is not an exempt continuation proposal, directions to make variations specified in the directions for the purpose of securing that the condition in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) of section 131B (meaning of “exempt continuation proposal”) is met in the case of the scheme, directions authorising the scheme to continue in operation temporarily, with or without variations, for a period specified or described in the directions, but subject to compliance with conditions as to the time within which any particular action specified in directions under this section is to be taken. Where the Tribunal give directions falling within subsection (11), they may also make provision in the order dispensing with the need to comply with such procedural requirements imposed by or under this Part as they may specify in the order. ... the Tribunal may not make any order which has the effect of— giving approval under section 126 as it applies by virtue of section 131D, or dispensing with the need for any such approval, but this is without prejudice to the temporary provision that may be made in directions falling within subsection (11)(c). The appropriate national authority may make regulations with respect to the procedure to be followed in relation to a scheme in cases where the Tribunal decide that the proposal for continuation under section 131A was not an exempt continuation proposal. The authority or authorities who made the scheme (other than any to whose area the scheme no longer relates) may vary it by— increasing the area to which it relates (to no greater than the whole of their area or combined area) or adding to the description of local services which are to be provided under quality contracts, reducing that area or reducing the description of services, or providing for new exclusions from the scheme or for the variation or revocation of existing exclusions. The scheme may not be varied under subsection (1)(a) unless the conditions set out in subsection (1)(a) to (e) of section 124 ... are met with respect to the scheme as varied. The scheme may not be varied under subsection (1)(b) unless the relevant conditions — are no longer met with respect to it, but are met with respect to the scheme as varied. The authority or authorities who made the scheme (other than any to whose area the scheme no longer relates) may revoke the scheme— if the relevant conditions are no longer met with respect to it, if they consider that those conditions would no longer be met with respect to it if they were to act in accordance with a direction given by the Upper Tribunal under this Part, or if they and one or more other authorities make a quality contracts scheme covering the whole or part of the area to which it relates. In subsections (3) and (4) “the relevant conditions” means— in the case of a scheme made under section 124(1) and not subsequently continued in operation under section 131A or varied under subsection (1)(a) of this section, the conditions set out in section 124(1)(a) to (e); in the case of a scheme that has been continued in operation under section 131A or varied under subsection (1)(a) of this section, the conditions by reference to which it was last so continued in operation or varied. The variation or revocation of a scheme under subsection (1) or (4) is subject to the provisions of— subsection (9) (areas in Wales), except to the extent that section 132B (exemption for specific variations directed by Upper Tribunal on appeal) otherwise provides. The variation or revocation of a scheme for an area in Wales— requires the approval of the Welsh Ministers, except in the case of a variation which is an exempt variation, and is subject to the same procedure as the making of the scheme, except to the extent that that procedure is modified or excluded by regulations made by the Welsh Ministers under section 133. Section 130 (tendering) applies to a varied scheme (whether or not the variation is an exempt variation) but subject to regulations made by the appropriate national authority under section 133(3). A variation of a scheme is an exempt variation for the purposes of this section if the variation is— a reduction in the area to which the scheme relates, a reduction in the descriptions of services which are to be provided under quality contracts, or the provision of new exclusions from the scheme, and a “non-exempt variation” is any other variation of a scheme. The appropriate national authority may by regulations provide that in prescribed circumstances quality contracts schemes may be revoked by that authority before coming into operation. This section applies where an authority or authorities who propose to vary a quality contracts scheme under section 132— decide that the proposal is an exempt variation for the purposes of that section, and acting on the basis of that decision, decide to vary the scheme under that section. the decision of the authority or authorities that the variation is an exempt variation for the purposes of section 132, or the decision of the authority or authorities as to the variation of the scheme under that section. any person who was consulted under section 125(3) (as it applies by virtue of subsection (8) or, as the case may be, (9)(b) of section 132 in a case where the variation is an exempt variation for the purposes of section 132), direct the authority or authorities to vary the scheme, to the extent of the variation made by the authority or authorities, in such manner as the Tribunal may specify in the direction (but see subsection (8)), quash the whole or any part of the decision of the authority or authorities. as respects those matters, consult or further consult the persons mentioned in section 125(3) (as it applies by virtue of subsection (8) or, as the case may be, (9)(b) of section 132 in a case where the variation is an exempt variation for the purposes of section 132), make such variations of the scheme as may in consequence appear appropriate to the authority or authorities. The Tribunal may give a direction under this section to vary a scheme by reducing the area to which the scheme relates only if they are of the opinion that the conditions in section 132(3) are met. If, on an appeal under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2), the Tribunal decide that the variation was not an exempt variation for the purposes of section 132— subsections (10) to (13) have effect. directions to take any action specified in the directions for the purpose of remedying any failure to comply with requirements of this Part that have effect where a proposed variation under section 132 is not an exempt variation, directions to make variations specified in the directions for the purpose of securing that the condition in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of section 132(11) (meaning of “exempt variation”) is met in the case of the variation, Where the Tribunal give directions falling within subsection (10), they may also make provision in the order dispensing with the need to comply with such procedural requirements imposed by or under this Part as they may specify in the order. giving approval under section 126 as it applies by virtue of section 132, or but this is without prejudice to the temporary provision that may be made in directions falling within subsection (10)(c). The appropriate national authority may make regulations with respect to the procedure to be followed in cases where the Tribunal decide that the variation or proposed variation was not an exempt variation for the purposes of section 132. This section applies in relation to any of the following appeals— an appeal under section 131E(2)(a) against a decision that a proposal was an exempt continuation proposal, an appeal under section 131E(2)(b) against a decision that a scheme should continue in operation, an appeal under section 131F(2) against a decision that a scheme should continue in operation, an appeal by virtue of section 132 against a decision to vary a scheme, an appeal under section 132A(2)(a) against a decision that a variation was an exempt variation for the purposes of section 132, an appeal under section 132A(2)(b) against a decision as to the variation of a scheme under section 132. Where— any such appeal is made to the Upper Tribunal, and on that appeal, the Tribunal direct the authority or authorities to vary the scheme in the manner specified by the Tribunal in the direction, nothing in section 132(5) to (9) (procedure for variation of scheme) applies in relation to the varying of the scheme in the manner specified in the direction, unless the Tribunal otherwise direct. Subsection (2) is without prejudice to any right of appeal against the decision of the Upper Tribunal. This section applies where a person who has agreed to provide a service (“the old service”) in accordance with a quality contract ceases to do so before the end of the period for which the contract was intended to have effect. The authority, or any one of the authorities, who entered into the quality contract may, in accordance with subsections (4) to (8) and section 132D, provide a local service (an “interim service”) in place of the old service or any part of it. Subsection (2) has effect notwithstanding any prohibition, restriction or limitation contained in any other enactment on the power of the authority to provide local services. An authority who provide an interim service of any description must hold a PSV operator’s licence to which no condition is attached under section 26 of the Transport Act 1985 (power of traffic commissioner to attach conditions to licence) prohibiting the authority from using vehicles under the licence to provide services of that description. Subsection (6) applies if— an authority provide an interim service in place of an old service or any part of an old service, and the authority or authorities who entered into the quality contract for the provision of the old service propose to enter into a quality contract for the provision of a replacement service in place of that service or (as the case may be) that part. The authority, or the authorities acting jointly, must invite tenders (in accordance with section 130) for the provision of the replacement service— as soon as reasonably practicable after the authority providing the interim service begin to do so, and in any event no later than three months after the date on which provision of the old service ceased. But subsection (6) does not apply if the authority, or the authorities acting jointly, decide to secure the provision of the replacement service under section 131 (circumstances in which quality contracts may be entered into without inviting tenders). The particulars of an interim service, or of a replacement service, need not be identical to the particulars of the old service, or that part of the old service, which it replaces. “enactment” includes an enactment comprised in subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978); “interim service” has the meaning given by subsection (2); “the old service” has the meaning given by subsection (1); “replacement service” means a local service provided under a quality contract in place of an old service or any part of an old service. This section applies for the purpose of determining the period for which an authority may provide an interim service which is provided in place of— an old service (“the relevant service”), or part of an old service (“the relevant part”). If the authority do not, within the period of three months beginning with the date on which provision of the relevant service ceased,— enter into a quality contract to provide a replacement service in place of the relevant service or (as the case may be) the relevant part, or issue an invitation to tender in pursuance of section 132C(6), the authority must not provide the interim service after the end of that period. If the authority enter into a quality contract to provide such a replacement service within the period mentioned in subsection (2), the authority must not provide the interim service after the earlier of the following dates— the date on which the replacement service is first provided; the date falling nine months after the date on which the interim service is first provided. If the authority issue invitations to tender in pursuance of section 132C(6) within the period mentioned in subsection (2) (but do not enter into a quality contract to provide such a replacement service within that period), the authority must not provide the interim service after the earlier of the following dates— the date on which a replacement service is first provided in place of the relevant service or (as the case may be) the relevant part; the date determined in accordance with subsection (5). The date is the later of— the date falling nine months after the date on which the interim service is first provided; such date, not later than three months after the date mentioned in paragraph (a), as may be determined by a traffic commissioner on the application of the authority.

A traffic commissioner may determine a date under subsection (5)(b) only if satisfied that there is a realistic prospect that, if the determination is made, a replacement service will be provided in place of the relevant service or (as the case may be) the relevant part on or before that date. Any application to a traffic commissioner under paragraph (b) of subsection (5) must be made at least one month before the date mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection. The authority must not make more than one application under subsection (5)(b) in respect of any interim service. “interim service” and “replacement service” have the meaning given in section 132C; “the relevant service” and “the relevant part” have the meaning given in subsection (1); and, in any case where the authority entered into the quality contract for the provision of the relevant service jointly with one or more other authorities, references in this section to the authority entering into a quality contract for a replacement service, or issuing invitations to tender for such contracts, are references to those authorities acting jointly. the procedure to be followed when making, continuing, varying or revoking quality contracts schemes, the approval of schemes ..., the local services or classes of local services which are to be, or may be, excluded from schemes, the conditions which must be, or may be, attached to such exclusions, and such other incidental matters in connection with quality contracts schemes as the appropriate national authority thinks fit. giving notice of proposed schemes or proposed continuations, variations or revocation of schemes, the form and manner of applications for approval of such proposals ..., the procedure for determining such applications, the form of schemes , continuations or variations, and giving notice of schemes which have been made or of the continuation, variation or revocation of schemes. The appropriate national authority may also make regulations modifying or excluding the application of provisions of this Part, so far as relating to quality contracts schemes, in cases where a local transport authority, or two or more local transport authorities acting jointly, do any of the following— propose or decide that a scheme should continue in operation (with or without modification) under section 131A, propose or decide to vary or revoke a scheme under section 132. Regulations made by virtue of subsection (3) must not exclude any requirement for the authority or authorities— under section 126, to obtain the approval of the Welsh Ministers, The appropriate national authority may by regulations make such transitional provision as it considers appropriate in connection with— the coming into operation of quality contracts schemes or of provisions of such schemes, the continuation in operation or variation of such schemes, and the ending of such schemes (whether or not as a result of their revocation). any provision of sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services), or of sections 89 to 92 of that Act (obligation to invite tenders etc), which would otherwise have effect is not to have effect or is to have effect with such modifications as may be prescribed, or Any regulations made by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) are not to have effect in the case of any quality contracts scheme as respects any time before the making of the scheme. The appropriate national authority may issue guidance concerning the performance by local transport authorities of their functions under this Part in relation to quality contracts schemes. Those authorities must have regard to any such guidance. on the coming into force of a quality contract, local services cease to be provided by a person (the “former operator”) in the area to which the relevant quality contracts scheme, or (in the case of a scheme which provides for different provisions to come into operation on different dates) the relevant provision of the scheme, relates, in accordance with section 129(1)(b), and at the same time, a person (the “new operator”) begins to provide local services in that area under that quality contract. local services which, on the coming into force of a quality contract, a person (the “former operator”) would be required by virtue of section 129(1)(b) to cease providing in the area mentioned in subsection (1)(a) of this section, cease to be provided by the former operator before the coming into force of that quality contract, and at the same time, a person (the “new operator”) begins to provide local services in that area under an agreement which the authority or authorities who made the relevant quality contracts scheme entered into by reason of the cessation of the local services referred to in paragraph (a). Any situation to which this subsection applies is to be treated as a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) (whether or not TUPE would apply apart from this subsection). Any situation which by virtue of this section is treated as a relevant transfer for the purposes of TUPE is also to be treated as a relevant transfer within the meaning of TUPE for the purposes of sections 257 and 258 of the Pensions Act 2004 and any regulations made under section 258 of that Act. provision requiring any person operating local services in the area to which a quality contracts scheme relates to provide the authority or authorities who made the scheme with such information as may be prescribed, at such time as may be prescribed, about such of that person's employees as would fall within subsection (4) if the person ceased to provide those services in the circumstances described in subsection (1)(a); provision requiring the authority or authorities who made a quality contracts scheme to provide all persons operating local services in the area to which the scheme relates with such information as may be prescribed, at such time as may be prescribed, so as to enable such persons to comply with any requirement imposed by virtue of paragraph (c) of this subsection; provision requiring the authority or authorities who made a quality contracts scheme to ensure that any quality contract entered into with a person under the scheme, or any other agreement made with a person for the provision of local services in the area to which the scheme relates, is made on terms— who immediately before the relevant date was employed by a person (the “original operator”) providing local services in the area to which the relevant quality contracts scheme relates, and “relevant date”, in relation to a quality contracts scheme, means— as a result of either the variation of the scheme, or the continuation of the scheme with modifications, those services became subject to the scheme, the date on which that variation, or (as the case may be) the decision to continue the scheme with those modifications, was made; A person is guilty of an offence under this subsection if— the person provides information in accordance with a requirement imposed by virtue of subsection (7)(c), the information is false or misleading in a material particular, and the person knows that it is or is reckless as to whether it is. A person who is guilty of an offence under subsection (11) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. A local transport authority whose area is in England, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, may make a ticketing scheme (an “advanced ticketing scheme”) covering the whole or any part of their area, or combined area, if they consider that the proposed scheme— would be in the interests of the public, and would contribute to the implementation of their local transport policies. An advanced ticketing scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities have complied with the notice and consultation requirements imposed by section 134D. An advanced ticketing scheme is a scheme under which operators of local services of a class specified in it are required to make and implement arrangements under which persons may purchase, in a single transaction, a ticket (or tickets) of any of the descriptions which may be covered by an advanced ticketing scheme and to which the scheme applies. The descriptions of tickets which may be covered by an advanced ticketing scheme are— tickets entitling the holder to make more than one journey on particular local services or on local services of a class specified in the scheme (whether or not operated by the same person), tickets entitling the holder to make a particular journey on two or more local services (whether or not operated by the same person), where a particular journey could be made on local services provided by any of two or more operators, tickets entitling the holder to make the journey on whichever service the holder chooses, and tickets entitling the holder to make a journey, or more than one journey, involving both travel on one or more local services and travel by one or more connecting rail or tram services. A connecting rail or tram service, in relation to an advanced ticketing scheme, is a service for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) which runs between— a station or stopping place at or in the vicinity of which local services stop and which serves any part of the area to which the ticketing scheme relates, and any other place. The arrangements in an advanced ticketing scheme may make provision for different types of ticket including, in particular— tickets that are valid for a specified period, and tickets that are valid only in a specified area. The arrangements in an advanced ticketing scheme may include— provision about enabling tickets to be purchased or fares to be paid in particular ways, provision about the persons from whom tickets may be purchased or to whom fares may be paid, provision about enabling entitlement to travel to be evidenced in particular ways, provision about providing information about the arrangements to the public, provision about publicising local services, fares or ticketing arrangements provided or made available by any operator of a local service of a class specified in the scheme, and provision as to the appearance of tickets. Different arrangements may be specified in an advanced ticketing scheme for different cases. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to advanced ticketing schemes, local transport authorities whose areas are in England must co-operate with one another. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to making or varying advanced ticketing schemes, local transport authorities must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of having a ticketing scheme that— facilitates journeys between the area to which the ticketing scheme applies and adjoining areas of England, or facilitates the adoption of similar ticketing arrangements in adjoining areas of England. In considering whether to make or vary an advanced ticketing scheme under this section, a local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of making a scheme jointly with another authority. If a local transport authority for an area in England, or two or more such authorities, propose to make an advanced ticketing scheme under section 134C, they must give notice of the proposed scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in the area to which it relates. The notice must specify the date on which the scheme is proposed to come into operation. If, after consulting in accordance with section 134D, the authority or authorities decide that it is appropriate to make the scheme, they may make it as proposed or with modifications. If the scheme applies to tickets within section 134C(4)(d), it may only be made with the agreement of the operators of the connecting rail or tram services concerned. The scheme must specify the date on which it is to come into operation, which must not be earlier than three months after the date on which it is made. in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in the area to which it relates, to a traffic commissioner, to all operators of local services or services for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, and to the Secretary of State if it applies to tickets within section 134C(4)(d). The notice must set out the terms of the scheme and the date on which it is to come into operation. The authority or authorities to whose area or combined area the scheme relates may vary or revoke the scheme. If the proposed variation would result in the scheme relating to all or part of the area of another local transport authority, the reference in subsection (6) to the authority or authorities includes that other authority. The variation or revocation is subject to the same procedure as the making of the scheme and in the application of that procedure— a reference in sections 134C(1) to (9) and 134D and subsections (1) to (5) to making a scheme is to be treated as a reference to varying or revoking a scheme, a reference in those provisions to the proposed scheme is to be treated as a reference to the scheme as proposed to be varied or to the proposed revocation of the scheme, and a reference in those provisions to the date on which a scheme comes into operation is to be treated as a reference to the date on which the scheme as varied comes into operation or the date on which the scheme comes to an end. During any period in which an advanced ticketing scheme is in operation, operators of local services to which the scheme relates must make and implement the arrangements required by the scheme. The Secretary of State may issue guidance concerning the exercise by local transport authorities of their functions under this Part in relation to advanced ticketing schemes. The authorities must have regard to any such guidance in exercising those functions. A local transport authority, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, may make a ticketing scheme covering the whole or any part of their area, or combined area, if they consider that the proposed scheme— would contribute to the implementation of their local transport policies (but this is subject to subsection (1A)). A local transport authority whose area is in England may exercise the power to make a ticketing scheme only if— A ticketing scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities have complied with the notice and consultation requirements imposed by section 136. A ticketing scheme is a scheme under which operators of local services of a class specified in it are required to make and implement arrangements under which persons may purchase, in a single transaction, a ticket (or tickets) of any of the descriptions which may be covered by a ticketing scheme and to which the scheme applies. The descriptions of tickets which may be covered by a ticketing scheme are— A connecting rail or tram service, in relation to a ticketing scheme, is a service for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) which runs between— Different arrangements may be specified in a ticketing scheme for different cases. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to ticketing schemes, local transport authorities must co-operate with one another. In considering whether to make a ticketing scheme, a local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of making a scheme jointly with another authority. If an authority or authorities propose to make a ticketing scheme, they must give notice of the proposed scheme in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which it relates. such organisations appearing to the authority or authorities to be representative of users of local services as they think fit, and If the scheme applies to tickets within section 135(4)(d), it may only be made with the agreement of the operators of the connecting rail or tram services concerned. Not later than 14 days after the date on which the scheme is made, the authority or authorities must give notice of it— in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which it relates, to all operators of local services or services for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, to the Secretary of State if it applies to tickets within section 135(4)(d), and in such other manner, or to such other persons or class of person, (if any) as the appropriate national authority may prescribe by regulations. The authority or authorities may vary or revoke the scheme; and the variation or revocation is subject to the same procedure as the making of the scheme, except to the extent that that procedure is modified by regulations made by the appropriate national authority. During any period in which a ticketing scheme is in operation, operators of local services to which the scheme relates must make and implement the arrangements required by the scheme. A local transport authority whose area is in England, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, may make— an enhanced partnership plan in relation to the whole or part of their area, or combined area, and one or more enhanced partnership schemes relating to the whole or part of the area to which the plan relates. A local transport authority or authorities who have made an enhanced partnership plan may make further enhanced partnership schemes relating to the whole or part of the area to which the plan relates. An enhanced partnership plan is a plan that— specifies the area and the period to which the plan relates, sets out an analysis of the local services provided in that area, lists which of those local services the authority or authorities consider are socially necessary local services, sets out policies relating to local services in that area, sets out objectives as regards the quality and effectiveness of local services provided in that area by reference to that period, describes how the related enhanced partnership scheme or schemes is or are intended to assist in implementing those policies and achieving those objectives, and describes the intended effect of the related enhanced partnership scheme or schemes on areas neighbouring the area to which the plan relates. An enhanced partnership plan must state whether the plan is to be reviewed and, if so— specify how it is to be reviewed, and specify the dates by which reviews are to be completed. A review under subsection (4) is not to include a review of the list of socially necessary local services required by subsection (3)(ba); but the authority or authorities must keep that list under review and amend it from time to time as appears to them to be necessary. An enhanced partnership scheme is a scheme that— specifies the area to which the scheme relates, and imposes requirements in relation to local services that have one or more stopping places in that area by specifying them in the scheme (see sections 138C and 138CA). An enhanced partnership scheme may also— require the authority or authorities to provide particular facilities in the area to which the scheme relates (see section 138D), require the authority or authorities to take particular measures in relation to local services in the whole or part of that area (see section 138D), and include provision about its variation or revocation (see section 138E). An enhanced partnership scheme must state whether the operation of the scheme is to be reviewed and, if so— An enhanced partnership plan must include a description of the authority's or authorities' plans for consulting such organisations appearing to the authority or authorities to be representative of users of local services as they think fit in order to seek their views on how well the plan and any related scheme are working. An enhanced partnership scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities are satisfied that the scheme will contribute to the implementation of— the policies set out in the related enhanced partnership plan, and their local transport policies. An enhanced partnership scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities are satisfied that the scheme will— bring benefits to persons using local services in the whole or any part of the area to which the scheme relates by improving the quality or effectiveness of those services, or An enhanced partnership plan or scheme may not be made unless the authority or authorities have complied with the requirements in— section 138F (preparation, notice and consultation), and section 138G(1) to (4) (making of plan and scheme). An enhanced partnership plan may not be made without also making an enhanced partnership scheme. In carrying out their functions under this Part in relation to enhanced partnership plans or schemes local transport authorities must co-operate with each other. Before making an enhanced partnership plan, a local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of making an enhanced partnership plan and enhanced partnership schemes jointly with one or more other local transport authorities. In this section and section 138C “socially necessary local service”, in relation to the area to which an enhanced partnership plan relates, means a local service which— enables passengers to access— essential goods and services, economic opportunities (including employment), or social activities, and if cancelled, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of passengers to access those goods, services, opportunities or activities. Subsection (2) applies if— the provision of any of the facilities specified in an enhanced partnership scheme, or the taking of any of the measures specified in such a scheme, requires the making of a traffic regulation order in respect of a road or other place in a metropolitan district (other than a road for which the Secretary of State is the traffic authority). Where this subsection applies, the scheme may not be made unless it is made by— Subsection (4) applies if— requires the making of a traffic regulation order in respect of a road for which the Secretary of State is the traffic authority. Where subsection (2) or (4) applies so that a local highway authority or the Secretary of State makes an enhanced partnership scheme, then (subject to section 138N) the references to the authority or authorities in— sections 138A(6) and (11), sections 138F to 138J, section 138K(1) and (3) to (5), sections 138L and 138M, section 138O, and paragraph 27(4) of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, include (as well as the local transport authority or authorities) the metropolitan district council or the Secretary of State. Subsection (5) is not to be taken as affecting the area indicated by references in the provisions mentioned in that subsection to the authority's or authorities' area or combined area. An enhanced partnership scheme may specify under section 138A(5)(b) requirements about the frequency or timing of particular local services or local services of particular descriptions. A requirement falling within subsection (1) may, in particular, determine the frequency or timing allowed in relation to a local service— by reference only to that service, or by reference to that service and other local services, taken together. An enhanced partnership scheme may specify under section 138A(5)(b) other requirements as to the standard of services to be provided. The other requirements referred to in subsection (3) include— requirements which the vehicles being used to provide local services, or particular descriptions of local services, must meet, requirements about enabling tickets to be purchased or fares to be paid in particular ways, requirements about enabling entitlement to travel to be evidenced in particular ways, requirements about providing information to the public about local services or particular descriptions of local services, requirements as to the publicising of local services, fares or ticketing arrangements or particular descriptions of local services, fares or ticketing arrangements, requirements as to the appearance of tickets for local services or particular descriptions of local services, requirements as to the appearance of vehicles being used to provide local services or particular descriptions of local services, requirements as to the prices of multi-operator tickets, requirements as to dates upon which operators may change the timing of local services or particular descriptions of local services, and requirements as to ticketing arrangements. The requirements that may be specified under subsection (4)(a) include— requirements about providing information to passengers by placing particular electronic equipment, or electronic equipment of particular descriptions, in vehicles, and requirements about emissions or types of fuel or power. The requirements that may be specified under subsection (4)(b) include requirements about the persons from whom tickets may be purchased or to whom fares may be paid. The requirements that may be specified under subsection (4)(j) include— requirements to make arrangements for— travel to, within or through particular areas, travel at particular times, travel on particular local services or particular descriptions of local services, travel on particular journeys or on particular descriptions of journey, or travel by persons of particular descriptions, requirements to make arrangements entitling persons to make a journey, or journeys, involving both travel on one or more local services and travel by one or more connecting rail or tram services, and requirements about the terms and conditions upon which such travel is made available. A connecting rail or tram service, in relation to an enhanced partnership scheme, is a service for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) which runs between— a station or stopping place at or in the vicinity of which local services stop and which serves any part of the area to which the scheme relates, and The requirements that may be specified in an enhanced partnership scheme also include requirements— as to operators of local services establishing and operating arrangements that facilitate the operation of the scheme; that persons using local services in the area to which the scheme relates benefit from any reduction in the cost of operating those services that results from facilities provided or measures taken by— a local transport authority, or any other person exercising functions of a public nature. An enhanced partnership scheme must— specify requirements that apply where the operator of a socially necessary local service listed as required by section 138A(3)(ba) proposes— to cancel a registration under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 in relation to the service, or to vary the registration in such a way as is likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of passengers to access the goods, services, opportunities or activities mentioned in section 138A(15)(a) in relation to the service; require a local transport authority or authorities, having been notified of a proposed cancellation or a proposed variation which is likely to have such an effect, to consider whether any alternative arrangements may be made so as to mitigate that effect. A requirement imposed by an enhanced partnership scheme has effect only in relation to so much of a local service as is provided in the area to which the scheme relates. An enhanced partnership scheme may not impose requirements in relation to the use of vehicles under permits granted under section 22 of the Transport Act 1985. In this section “multi-operator ticket” means a ticket, or a number of tickets purchased in a single transaction, entitling the holder to make a journey that involves or may involve, or journeys that involve or may involve, the use of local services provided by more than one operator. An enhanced partnership scheme may specify under section 138A(5)(b) requirements about enabling persons with disabilities to travel on local services independently, and in safety and reasonable comfort. The requirements may include requirements about securing alternative means for the carriage of a person with a disability where— the person cannot travel on a public service vehicle being used to provide a local service because the vehicle’s wheelchair space is occupied and cannot be vacated readily, and it is possible for the person, together with any wheelchair, mobility aid or assistance dog which the person has with them, to be carried in safety and reasonable comfort to the person’s intended destination by a taxi or private hire vehicle. Before making an enhanced partnership scheme, a local transport authority must consider whether the requirements proposed to be specified in the scheme will enable persons with disabilities to travel independently, and in safety and reasonable comfort, on local services that have one or more stopping places in the area to which the scheme relates. “assistance dog” has the meaning given by section 173(1) of the Equality Act 2010; “mobility aid” has the meaning given by section 164A(6) of that Act; “persons with disabilities” means persons who have a disability within the meaning given by section 6 of that Act. The facilities which may be specified in an enhanced partnership scheme— The measures which may be specified in an enhanced partnership scheme— increasing the use of local services ... to which the measures relate or ending or reducing a decline in the use of such services, or improving the quality of local services ... to which the measures relate, but may not include the provision of such facilities as are described in subsection (1)(a) or as are required to be provided as a result of section 139 or 140. The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about the measures which may or may not be specified in an enhanced partnership scheme. An enhanced partnership scheme may specify cases in which the scheme may be varied or revoked in accordance with the scheme. The scheme may provide for variation or revocation in a particular case to be subject to satisfying such conditions as the scheme specifies. The cases that may be specified under subsection (1) as regards variation include cases where the variations in question consist only of such descriptions of variation as are specified in the scheme. The conditions that may be specified under subsection (2) include conditions prohibiting variation or revocation where a number of operators of local services disagree to the variation or revocation. If a local transport authority or authorities propose to make an enhanced partnership plan and scheme, they must— give notice of their intention to prepare a plan and scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area, prepare a plan and scheme for consultation, give notice of the plan and scheme prepared to the persons who are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan relates on the relevant day, and give notice of the proposal to make the plan and scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area. A notice under subsection (1)(c) must— contain full details of the plan and scheme prepared, state the effect of subsection (5), and require any objections to be made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given (“the objection period”). A notice under subsection (1)(d) must— contain full details of the plan and scheme proposed, or state where such details may be inspected. A local transport authority or authorities proposing to make an enhanced partnership plan and scheme must— invite operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan relates to participate in the preparation of the plan and scheme before starting to prepare them, and invite any person who becomes an operator of a qualifying local service in the area to which the plan relates while the plan and scheme are being prepared to participate in that preparation (including any person who becomes such an operator because of a change in the area to which the plan relates while the plan is being prepared). A local transport authority or authorities may give notice of a proposal under subsection (1)(d) before the end of the objection period if every person to whom the notice under subsection (1)(c) is required to be given has confirmed in writing that they do not intend to object. A local transport authority or authorities may not give notice of a proposal under subsection (1)(d) if, within the objection period— a sufficient number of the persons who, on the relevant day, are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan relates object to the plan prepared, or a sufficient number of the persons who, on the relevant day, are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the scheme relates object to the scheme prepared. After giving notice of the proposed plan and scheme under subsection (1)(d), the authority or authorities must consult— all operators of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by them, any other relevant local authority any part of whose area would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by them, the chief officer of police for each police area covering the whole or part of the area to which the plan relates, For the purpose of subsection (6)(c) the following are relevant local authorities— If a local transport authority or authorities propose to make a scheme or schemes relating to an existing enhanced partnership plan, subsections (1) to (7) have effect as if— references to a proposed plan and scheme were references to a proposed scheme or schemes, and subsection (5)(a) were omitted. If a local transport authority or authorities propose to make two or more schemes at the same time (whether at the same time as making a plan or in relation to an existing plan), subsection (5)(b) has effect as if references to the scheme were references to one of the schemes in question. The Secretary of State may by regulations— specify the descriptions of local services that are qualifying local services for the purposes of this section, and specify what constitutes a sufficient number of persons for the purposes of subsection (5)(a) or (b). Regulations under subsection (10)(b) may, in particular— require that a plan or scheme be objected to by such number of persons as, together, provide at least such proportion of the qualifying local services in the area in question as is specified in the regulations, in addition to being at least such proportion of the persons providing those services as is specified in the regulations, and make provision about determining the proportion of qualifying local services provided by an operator, including provision about the time by reference to which the proportion is to be determined. In this section “the relevant day”, in relation to an enhanced partnership plan or scheme prepared by a local transport authority or authorities under subsection (1)(b), means the day before the authority or authorities send out a notice relating to that plan or scheme in accordance with subsection (1)(c). If, after complying with section 138F as regards a proposal to make an enhanced partnership plan and scheme, a local authority or authorities consider it appropriate to make the plan and scheme, they may make them as proposed or with modifications. If the authority or authorities intend to make the plan and scheme with modifications of one or both of them, the authority or authorities must give notice of their intention to make the plan and scheme, with modifications, to the persons who are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan relates on the relevant day. A notice under subsection (2) must— contain full details of the plan and scheme, state the effect of subsection (4), and The authority or authorities may make the plan and scheme with modifications before the end of the objection period if every person to whom the notice under subsection (2) is required to be given has confirmed in writing that they do not intend to object. The authority or authorities may not make the plan and scheme with modifications if, within the objection period— a sufficient number of the persons who, on the relevant day, are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan relates object to the plan, or a sufficient number of the persons who, on the relevant day, are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the scheme relates object to the scheme. Not later than 14 days after the date on which a local transport authority or authorities make an enhanced partnership plan and scheme, the authority or authorities must give notice of the making of the plan and scheme— in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area, to all operators of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by the scheme, and contain full details of the plan and scheme or state where such details may be inspected, and if the plan or scheme made is a modified version of the plan or scheme that was proposed, state that it is a modified version. If the proposal of a local transport authority or authorities is to make a scheme or schemes relating to an existing enhanced partnership plan, subsections (1) to (6) have effect as if— references to a plan and scheme were references to a scheme or schemes, and subsection (4)(a) were omitted. If the proposal of a local transport authority or authorities is to make two or more schemes at the same time (whether at the same time as making a plan or in relation to an existing plan), subsection (4)(b) has effect as if references to the scheme were references to one of the schemes in question. specify what constitutes a sufficient number of persons for the purposes of subsection (4)(a) or (b). Regulations under subsection (9)(b) may, in particular— In this section “the relevant day”, in relation to a plan or scheme that a local transport authority or authorities intend to make, means the day before the authority or authorities send out notices relating to that plan or scheme in accordance in subsection (2). If a local transport authority or authorities make a scheme, the scheme must specify— the requirements imposed under it, the facilities (if any) to be provided under it by the authority or authorities, the measures (if any) to be taken under it by the authority or authorities, the provision (if any) about variation or revocation of the plan or scheme, the date on which it is to come into operation, and the period for which it is to remain in operation. The scheme must also specify— if a requirement imposed under the scheme is to have effect as from a date after the scheme comes into operation, the date as from which it has effect, if any facilities are to be provided under the scheme as from a date after the scheme comes into operation, the date as from which they are to be so provided, if any measures to be taken under the scheme as from a date after the scheme comes into operation, the date as from which they are to be so taken, if a condition under section 138E is to apply as from a date after the scheme comes into operation, the date as from which it applies, and if a condition under section 138E is to cease to apply as from a particular date, the date as from which it ceases to apply. Subject to regulations under section 138P, the scheme may provide that— are to be excluded from the scheme. If it appears to a local transport authority or authorities that have made an enhanced partnership scheme appropriate to do so, they may decide that any of the dates specified in subsection (3) are to be postponed by such period as they think fit. the date as from which any particular requirement is to be imposed under the scheme, the date as from which any particular condition under section 138E applies. Not later than 14 days after the date on which any such decision is made, they must give notice of the making of the decision— The notice must include a statement of their reasons for the decision. If an enhanced partnership scheme requires a local transport authority or authorities to provide particular facilities, they must— provide each of the specified facilities not later than the date specified for its provision under the scheme (subject to section 138I), and Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to any period during which the authority or authorities are temporarily unable to provide the facilities because of circumstances beyond their control. Subsection (1) does not apply in the case of the Secretary of State if the Secretary of State is unable to provide the facilities because of the variation or revocation of a traffic regulation order. If an enhanced partnership scheme made by a local transport authority or authorities requires them to take particular measures, they must— take each of the specified measures not later than the date specified for taking it under the scheme (subject to section 138I), and continue to take those measures throughout the remainder of the period for which the scheme is in operation. Subsection (4) does not apply in relation to any period during which the authority or authorities are temporarily unable to take those measures because of circumstances beyond their control. Subsection (4) does not apply in the case of the Secretary of State if the Secretary of State is unable to take the measures because of the variation or revocation of a traffic regulation order. Subsection (8) applies if the enhanced partnership plan or scheme made by a local transport authority or authorities makes provision about— one or more reviews of the plan, or one or more reviews of the operation of the scheme. The authority or authorities must secure that the review or each review— is carried out in the manner specified in the plan or scheme, and is completed by the date specified in the plan or scheme as the date for completing that review. If a requirement applies to a local service, the operator of the service must comply with that requirement. Subsection (9) does not apply in relation to services which are excluded from the scheme because of any provision of the scheme made in accordance with section 138H(3). A local transport authority or authorities to whose area or combined area, or part of it, an enhanced partnership plan relates may vary the plan and any related enhanced partnership scheme. An enhanced partnership plan or scheme may, in particular, be varied by changing the area to which the plan or scheme relates so that— it includes the whole or a part of the area of another local transport authority, or it ceases to include any part of the area of a local transport authority. An enhanced partnership plan or scheme may not be varied unless the authority or authorities have complied with the requirements in— section 138L (preparation, notice and consultation), and section 138M(1) to (5) (making the variation). An enhanced partnership scheme may not be varied unless the authority or authorities are satisfied that the scheme, as varied, will contribute to the implementation of— the policies set out in the related enhanced partnership plan (or those policies as proposed to be varied, if the scheme and the policies in the plan are being varied at the same time), and An enhanced partnership scheme may not be varied unless the authority or authorities are satisfied that the scheme, as varied, will— The references in subsections (1) and (3) to (5) and sections 138L and 138M to the local transport authority or authorities— in relation to the variation of an enhanced partnership plan, or in relation to the variation of an enhanced partnership scheme, if the scheme is proposed to be varied at the same time as the related enhanced partnership plan is proposed to be varied, include a reference to a local transport authority to no part of whose area the plan relates but to whose area or part of it the plan would relate under a proposed variation. Nothing in this section prevents an enhanced partnership scheme being varied, in accordance with the scheme, in such cases as are allowed by the scheme (see section 138E). Before varying an enhanced partnership plan, a local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of varying a plan so as to include in the area to which the plan relates any part of the area of one or more other local transport authorities. Before varying an enhanced partnership scheme, a local transport authority must consider whether the requirements proposed to be specified in the scheme as varied will enable persons with disabilities to travel independently, and in safety and reasonable comfort, on local services that have one or more stopping places in the area to which the scheme as proposed to be varied relates. A variation of an enhanced partnership scheme may not be made under section 138K in a case to which subsection (2) of this section applies unless— the Secretary of State has directed the authority or authorities concerned to make the variation, or the variation is one that the authority or authorities are required to make by section 14(4)(b) of the Bus Services Act 2025. This subsection applies to any case specified in the scheme as one in which the scheme may be varied in accordance with the scheme (see section 138E). The Secretary of State may give a direction under this section only if, on an application made by the authority or authorities, the Secretary of State is satisfied that— the variation cannot be made in accordance with the scheme because of unreasonable or obstructive behaviour by one or more operators of local services, or persons using local services in the area to which the scheme as varied will relate will benefit from the variation of the scheme. A direction under this section does not affect the application of the other requirements that must be met before the scheme can be varied under section 138K. If a local transport authority or authorities propose to vary an enhanced partnership plan or scheme, they must— give notice of their intention to prepare changes to the plan or scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area, prepare the changes, give notice of the changes prepared to the persons who are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan (or the plan as proposed to be varied) relates on the relevant day, and give notice of the proposal to vary the plan or scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area. contain full details of the changes prepared, contain full details of the changes, or invite operators of qualifying local services to participate in the preparation of the changes before starting to prepare them, and invite any person who becomes an operator of a qualifying local service while the changes are being prepared to participate in their preparation.

a sufficient number of the persons who are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the plan relates on the relevant day object to the changes prepared for the plan (if changes to a plan are prepared), or a sufficient number of the persons who are operators of qualifying local services in the area to which the scheme relates on the relevant day object to the changes prepared for the scheme (if changes to a scheme are prepared). After giving notice of the proposal under subsection (1)(d), the authority or authorities must consult the Competition and Markets Authority. If a local authority or authorities propose to vary two or more enhanced partnership schemes at the same time, subsection (5)(b) has effect as if references to the scheme were references to one of the schemes in question. Regulations under subsection (8)(b) may, in particular— require that changes to a plan or scheme be objected to by such number of persons as, together, provide at least such proportion of the qualifying local services in the area in question as is specified in the regulations, in addition to being at least such proportion of the persons providing those services as is specified in the regulations, and In this section “the relevant day”, in relation to changes to an enhanced partnership plan or scheme prepared by a local transport authority or authorities under subsection (1)(b), means the day before the authority or authorities send out a notice relating to that plan or scheme in accordance with subsection (1)(c). This section applies if a local transport authority or authorities have complied with the requirements of section 138L as regards a proposal to vary an enhanced partnership plan or scheme. If the authority or authorities consider it appropriate to vary the plan or scheme, they may vary the plan or scheme as proposed or with modifications. Before varying the plan or scheme, the authorities must give notice of their intention to vary the plan or scheme, as proposed or with modifications, to persons who were operators of qualifying local services at the qualifying time. The notice under subsection (3) must— contain full details of the variation or state where such details may be inspected, if the variation made is a modified version of the variation that was proposed, state that it is a modified version, require any objections by persons who are operators of qualifying local services at the qualifying time to be made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given (“the objection period”). The authority or authorities may vary the plan or scheme (with or without modifications) before the end of the objection period if every person to whom the notice under subsection (3) is required to be given has confirmed in writing that they do not intend to object. The authority or authorities may not vary the plan or scheme (with or without modifications) if a sufficient number of the persons who were operators of qualifying local services at the qualifying time object to the variation. Not later than 14 days after the date on which the variation of the plan or scheme is made, the authority or authorities must give notice of the variation— to all operators of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, and contain full details of the variation or state where such details may be inspected, and if the variation made is a modified version of the variation that was proposed, state that it is a modified version. specify the descriptions of local services that are qualifying local services for the purposes of this section, provide for the determination of the qualifying time for the purposes of this section, specify what constitutes a sufficient number of persons for the purposes of subsection (5), and specify how a person's objection is to be evidenced. Regulations under subsection (8)(d) may, in particular— require that a proposed variation be objected to by such number of persons as, together, provide at least such proportion of the qualifying local services as is specified in the regulations, in addition to being at least such proportion of the persons providing those services as is specified in the regulations, and The relevant references to the authority or authorities in relation to an enhanced partnership scheme— include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it specifies traffic regulation facilities or measures, but But if (although the scheme does not specify facilities or measures which are traffic regulation facilities or measures in relation to a traffic regulation authority) it would do by reason of a proposed variation, those references to the authority or authorities in relation to an enhanced partnership scheme (apart from the relevant references in section 138J) include that authority. And if (although the scheme specifies facilities or measures which are traffic regulation facilities or measures in relation to a traffic regulation authority)— the traffic regulation order, or (where more than one) each of the traffic regulation orders, required to be made by that authority for the provision of those facilities or measures has been revoked, and the scheme is proposed to be varied (but not so that it specifies other facilities or measures which are traffic regulation facilities or measures in relation to that authority), the relevant references to the authority or authorities in relation to an enhanced partnership scheme (apart from those in section 138J) do not include that authority. section 138A(6) and (11), paragraph 27(4) of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Subsections (1) and (2) are not to be taken as affecting the area indicated by references in the provisions mentioned in subsection (4) to the authority's or authorities' area or combined area. facilities are traffic regulation facilities, in relation to a traffic regulation authority and an enhanced partnership scheme, if that authority was required to be a maker of the scheme because it originally specified those facilities or would have been required to be a maker of it had it done so, and measures are traffic regulation measures, in relation to a traffic regulation authority and an enhanced partnership scheme, if that authority was required to be a maker of the scheme because it originally specified those measures or would have been required to be a maker of it had it done so. A local transport authority or authorities may, if they consider it appropriate to do so— revoke an enhanced partnership plan that relates to the whole or any part of their area or combined area, and revoke an enhanced partnership scheme relating to such a plan. A local transport authority or authority may not— revoke an enhanced partnership plan without also revoking all enhanced partnership schemes relating to it, or revoke all enhanced partnership schemes relating to an enhanced partnership plan without also revoking the plan. A local transport authority or authorities may not revoke an enhanced partnership plan or scheme unless they have complied with subsections (4) to (8). A local transport authority or authorities must give notice of a proposal to revoke an enhanced partnership plan or scheme in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area. After giving notice under subsection (4), the authority or authorities must consult— operators of qualifying local services, If, after consulting those persons, the authority or authorities wish to revoke the plan or scheme, they must give notice of their intention to revoke the plan or scheme to persons who were operators of qualifying local services at the qualifying time. The notice under subsection (6) must— state the authority's or authorities' reasons for revoking the plan or scheme, state the effect of subsection (8), and require any objections to the revocation by persons who are operators of qualifying local services at the qualifying time to be made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given (“the objection period”). The notice under subsection (6) may state the date on which the plan or scheme is to be revoked. The authority or authorities may revoke the plan or scheme before the end of the objection period if every person to whom the notice under subsection (6) is required to be given has confirmed in writing that they do not intend to object. The authority or authorities may not revoke the plan or scheme if a sufficient number of the persons who were operators of qualifying local services at the qualifying time object to the revocation of the plan or (as the case may be) the scheme. Not later than 14 days after the date on which the plan or scheme is revoked, the authority or authorities must give notice of the revocation— to all operators of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by the revocation, and Nothing in subsections (3) to (8) prevents an enhanced partnership scheme being revoked, in accordance with the scheme, in such cases as are allowed by the scheme (see section 138E). specify what constitutes a sufficient number of persons for the purposes of subsection (8), and Regulations under subsection (11)(d) may, in particular— require that the revocation of a plan or scheme be disagreed to by such number of persons as, together, provide at least such proportion of the qualifying local services as is specified in the regulations, in addition to being at least such proportion of the persons providing those services as is specified in the regulations, and the procedure to be followed when making, varying or revoking enhanced partnership plans or schemes, the content or operation of schemes which include a requirement falling within section 138C(1), such other incidental matters in connection with schemes as the Secretary of State thinks fit. giving notice of proposed schemes or proposed variations or revocations of enhanced partnership plans or schemes, the form of plans, schemes or variations, and giving notice of plans or schemes which have been made or of the variation or revocation of plans or schemes. the making of enhanced partnership plans and schemes, the coming into operation of provisions of enhanced partnership plans and schemes, the variation of enhanced partnership plans and schemes, and the revocation of enhanced partnership plans and schemes. any provision of sections 6 to 9 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services), or of sections 89 to 92 of that Act (obligation to invite tenders for subsidised services etc), which would otherwise have effect is not to have effect or is to have effect with such modifications as may be prescribed, or The regulations may in particular provide for the application of requirements imposed under section 138A(5)(b) to local services that were registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 before the requirements came into force. Regulations made by virtue of subsection (3) may in particular— make provision about recording requirements that apply to local services with the registered particulars of those local services; make provision requiring the local transport authority or authorities that made an enhanced partnership scheme to notify a traffic commissioner of the local services or the descriptions of local services to which each requirement specified in the scheme would apply, subject to such exceptions as may be prescribed; make provision for the cancellation of the registration of local services that could not be provided in accordance with requirements falling within section 138C(1); make provision about the determination by the local transport authority or authorities that made an enhanced partnership scheme of what local services may be registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 in place of local services whose registrations are cancelled under paragraph (c), including provision for awarding contracts authorising the provision of local services or local services of particular descriptions; make provision as to the period during which the registration, or variation of registration, of local services is subject to provision under paragraph (d); make provision for cancellation under paragraph (c) to be revoked if prescribed conditions are satisfied, including conditions relating to the variation or cancellation under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 of the registration of one or more of the local services affected; make provision for the time at which cancellation under paragraph (c) becomes effective to be postponed in prescribed circumstances; make provision for appeals against— decisions to record or not to record requirements under paragraph (a); decisions to cancel registrations of local services under paragraph (c). Regulations made by virtue of subsection (4)(h) may in particular include provision about— to whom an appeal may be made; how an appeal may be made and dealt with; further appeals; who may be parties to an appeal or further appeal. In this section “registered particulars”, in relation to a local service, means the particulars of the service required to be registered under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985. The Secretary of State may issue guidance concerning the carrying out by local transport authorities and metropolitan district councils of their functions under this Part in relation to enhanced partnership plans and schemes. on the coming into force of an awarded contract, one or more local services cease to be provided by a person (the “former operator”) in the area to which the relevant enhanced partnership scheme relates because the cancellation of the registration of the service or services under a relevant provision becomes effective, and at the same time, a person (the “new operator”) begins to provide one or more local services in that area by virtue of that awarded contract. one or more local services which, on the coming into force of an awarded contract, a person (the “former operator”) would be required to cease providing in the area mentioned in subsection (1)(a) of this section because the cancellation of the registration of the service or services under a relevant provision would have become effective, cease to be provided by the former operator before the coming into force of that awarded contract, and at the same time, a person (the “new operator”) begins to provide one or more local services in that area under an agreement which the authority or authorities operating the relevant enhanced partnership scheme entered into by reason of the cessation of the local service or services referred to in paragraph (a). provision requiring any person operating local services in the area to which an enhanced partnership scheme relates to provide the authority or authorities operating the scheme with such information as may be prescribed, at such time as may be prescribed, about such of that person's employees as would fall within subsection (4) if the person ceased to provide those services in the circumstances described in subsection (1)(a); provision requiring the authority or authorities operating an enhanced partnership scheme to provide all persons operating local services in the area to which the scheme relates with such information as may be prescribed, at such time as may be prescribed, so as to enable such persons to comply with any requirement imposed by virtue of paragraph (c) of this subsection; provision requiring the authority or authorities operating an enhanced partnership scheme to ensure that any awarded contract entered into with a person because of the scheme, or any other agreement made with a person for the provision of local services in the area to which the scheme relates, is made on terms— who immediately before the relevant date was employed by a person (the “original operator”) providing local services in the area to which the relevant enhanced partnership scheme relates, and “relevant date”, in relation to an enhanced partnership scheme, means— “awarded contract” means a contract authorising a person to provide a local service that is awarded in accordance with— regulations made by virtue of section 6E(6) of the Transport Act 1985 (provision for services to be allocated), or regulations made by virtue of section 138Q(4)(d); and an awarded contract is to be regarded as in force when the authority to provide a service has effect; “relevant provision” means— section 6E(2) of the Transport Act 1985 (cancellation where incompatibility with a requirement falling within section 138C(1)), or regulations made by virtue of section 138Q(4)(c). Each local transport authority must from time to time determine, having regard to their local transport policies — what local bus information should be made available to the public (“the required information”), and the way in which it should be made available (“the appropriate way”). Before making such a determination, the authority must consult— such organisations appearing to the authority to be representative of users of local services as they think fit, and Each authority must from time to time ascertain whether the required information is being made available to the public in the appropriate way. Subsection (5) applies if an authority consider that— the required information is not being made available to the public to any extent, or that information is not being made available to the public in the appropriate way. If this subsection applies, the authority must seek to make arrangements with the operators of the local services concerned under which those operators agree to make the information available (or to make it available in that way). In this section “local bus information”, in relation to a local transport authority, means— information about routes and timetabling of local services to, from and within the authority’s area, information about fares for journeys on such local services, and such other information about facilities for disabled persons, travel concessions, connections with other public passenger transport services or other matters of value to the public as the authority consider appropriate in relation to their area. If the authority are unable to make satisfactory arrangements with one or more of those operators, they— must make available, or secure that there is made available, in the appropriate way such of the required information as is not being made available or is not being made available in that way (whether by virtue of arrangements made under section 139(5) or otherwise), and may recover from that operator or those operators the reasonable costs incurred by them in doing so as a civil debt due to them. In determining for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) what is reasonable in relation to a particular operator, the authority must have regard to— the amount of information which has to be made available, and the way in which that information has to be made available, in respect of the local services provided by that operator. If the authority require an operator to provide information to them or to another person in order to perform their duty under subsection (1)(a), the operator must provide the information at such times and in such manner as is specified by the authority. The authority must give notice of any requirement imposed under subsection (3) to a traffic commissioner. In considering how they should carry out their functions under sections 139 and 140, a local transport authority must have regard to a combination of economy, efficiency and effectiveness. In carrying out those functions, local transport authorities— must not act in such a way as to discriminate (whether directly or indirectly) against any operator, or class of operator, of local services, and must co-operate with one another. A local transport authority must have regard to the desirability, in appropriate cases, of carrying out those functions jointly with another authority (whether as respects the whole or any part of their combined area). The Secretary of State may by regulations require— applicants for the registration of relevant local services, or for the variation or cancellation of any such registration, to provide prescribed information— in relation to the services, or in connection with the application; operators of registered relevant local services to provide prescribed information in relation to the services; local transport authorities to provide prescribed information in relation to relevant local services which have one or more stopping places in their areas; traffic commissioners to provide prescribed information that is held by them in relation to relevant local services. The information that may be prescribed is such information within subsection (3) as appears to the Secretary of State to be required— in order to make information about relevant local services available to users or prospective users of those services, or in order to facilitate the exercise of functions relating to the registration of relevant local services. The information within this subsection is— information about routes, stopping places, timetables, fares and tickets, information about changes or proposed changes to routes, stopping places, timetables, fares and tickets, and information about the operation of the services. The information within subsection (3)(c) includes— live information, that is to say information provided immediately it becomes available about the location of vehicles operating the services and the time at which they stop, or are expected to stop, at stopping places, and information about the operation of the services in the past. The regulations may make provision about— the person to whom the information is to be provided, the time when it is to be provided, and the manner and form in which it is to be provided (including, in particular, provision requiring it to be provided electronically). The provision made under subsection (5)(a) may not require the information to be provided to a person other than— a local transport authority whose area is in England; a person prescribed in the regulations, being a person who provides or facilitates the provision of, or is to provide or facilitate the provision of, information about relevant local services to users or prospective users of those services. The regulations may provide that a reference in the regulations to a standard according to which the information is to be provided is to be construed as a reference to that standard as it has effect from time to time. The regulations may make provision as to the use and disclosure of the information, including— provision for the information to be made available free of charge and without restrictions on its use and disclosure, and provision for information provided in connection with an application for registration, or for the variation or cancellation of a registration, to be provided to a traffic commissioner. The regulations may make different provision for different areas. Before making regulations under this section the Secretary of State must consult— such persons or organisations as appear to the Secretary of State to represent the interests of operators and users of relevant local services, such persons or organisations as appear to the Secretary of State to represent the interests of local transport authorities whose areas are in England, and such other persons or organisations as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. The references to traffic commissioners in subsections (1)(d) and (8)(b) are to be read as including references to any local transport authority carrying out the functions of a traffic commissioner in accordance with section 6G of the Transport Act 1985. “relevant local service” means a local service which has one or more stopping places in the relevant area, references to registration, in relation to a relevant local service, are to registration under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985, “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations under this section, and “relevant area” means England outside Greater London. Where a local service is or is to be provided both inside and outside the relevant area, any part of the service which is or is to be provided outside the relevant area is to be treated as a separate service for the purposes of subsection (12)(a) if there is any stopping place for that part of the service outside the relevant area. In section 7 of the Transport Act 1985 (traffic regulation conditions to be met in provision of local services subject to registration), in subsection (4) (reasons for which conditions may be determined), insert at the end ; or reduce or limit noise or air pollution. A local transport authority may, in connection with the exercise of any of their functions relating to public transport, require an operator of local services to provide them with any information relating to the matters specified in subsection (2) which is in his possession or control. The matters referred to in subsection (1) are— the total number of journeys undertaken by passengers on the local services operated by the operator in the authority’s area or any part of its area, the structure of fares for those journeys, and the total distance covered by vehicles used by him in operating those local services. The operator may be required to provide the information in any form in which, having regard to the manner in which the information is kept, it is reasonable to expect him to provide it. No information which— has been provided under this section, or provided together with information so provided, and relates to the affairs of an individual or to a particular business, shall be disclosed during the lifetime of the individual or while the business continues to be carried on. But subsection (4) does not apply to a disclosure made— with the consent of the individual or the person for the time being carrying on the business, in connection with the investigation of crime or for the purposes of criminal proceedings, for the purposes of civil proceedings brought by virtue of this Act or the Transport Act 1985, or in order to comply with the order of a court or tribunal. A person who discloses information in contravention of subsection (4) is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. A franchising authority may, in connection with their functions under this Part in relation to franchising schemes, require an operator of local services to provide them with such relevant information about local services operated by the operator in the authority's area, or any part of it, as the operator possesses or controls. If two or more franchising authorities are exercising functions under this Part in relation to the same franchising scheme or proposed franchising scheme, each of them may, in connection with their functions under this Part in relation to franchising schemes, require an operator of local services to provide them with such relevant information about local services operated by the operator in the authorities' areas, or any part of those areas, as the operator possesses or controls. For the purposes of this section, information about the local services operated by an operator in an area is relevant information if it is— information about the total number of journeys undertaken by passengers on the local services operated by the operator in the area; information about the structure of fares for journeys on those local services; information about revenue received from those local services, including information about revenue attributable to particular types of fares or derived from journeys undertaken on particular parts of those local services; information about the total distance covered by vehicles used by the operator in operating those local services; information about persons employed by the operator in the provision of those local services; information about journeys that the operator has forecast will be undertaken by passengers on those services and revenue that the operator has forecast will be received from those services; information of such description as is specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State. The powers in subsections (1) and (2) may not be used to require an operator to provide information relating to periods that fall more than five years before the date of the demand. The operator may be required— to provide the information in any form in which, having regard to the manner in which the information is kept, it is reasonable to expect the operator to provide it, and to provide the information before the end of such reasonable period as may be specified by the franchising authority. If it appears to a franchising authority that an operator of a local service has failed to take all reasonable steps to comply with a requirement imposed under this section, the authority must inform a traffic commissioner. A franchising authority that have obtained information under this section may— use the information for the purposes of their functions under this Part in relation to franchising schemes, and supply the information to a person specified in subsection (9) for use in connection with the same franchising scheme or the same proposed franchising scheme. The persons referred to in subsection (8) are— a franchising authority; a person providing services to a franchising authority; a person carrying out functions under section 123D. The requirements in sections 123E and 123G about publishing documents do not require a franchising authority to publish information obtained by the authority, or another franchising authority exercising functions under this Part in relation to the same franchising scheme or proposed franchising scheme, under this section if it is information that the authority could refuse to disclose in response to a request under— the Freedom of Information Act 2000, or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/3391) or any regulations replacing those regulations. If a local transport authority in England, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, are preparing an enhanced partnership plan or scheme, the authority or any of the authorities may, in connection with preparing the plan or scheme, require an operator of a local service in their area or combined area to supply relevant information. A local transport authority in England that are party to an enhanced partnership plan may, in connection with any relevant function, require an operator of a local service in their area, or in the combined area of the authority and any other local transport authority in England that are party to the plan, to supply relevant information. If an enhanced partnership plan is proposed to be varied so as to include another local transport authority in England, that authority may, in connection with determining whether and how to vary an enhanced partnership plan or scheme, require an operator of a local service in their area, or in the combined area of that authority and any other local transport authority in England that would be party to the plan as it is proposed to be varied, to supply relevant information. to provide the information in any form in which, having regard to the manner in which the information is kept, it is reasonable to expect him to provide it, and to provide the information before the end of such reasonable period as may be specified by the local transport authority. A local transport authority or authorities may not require an operator to supply information under this section unless, at least 14 days before imposing the requirement, they have given notice to the operator— of their intention to impose the requirement, and of the date on which they intend to do so and the period that they intend to allow for the provision of the information. When imposing the requirement the authority or authorities must have regard to any representations made by the operator in response to the notice under subsection (4A). If it appears to a local transport authority that an operator of a local service has failed to take all reasonable steps to comply with a request under this section, the authority must inform a traffic commissioner. A local transport authority that have obtained information under this section in connection with a function relating to an enhanced partnership plan or scheme may— use the information for the purposes of the function for which it was obtained, and supply the information to a person specified in subsection (7) for use for those purposes in connection with the same plan or scheme. The persons referred to in subsection (6) are— a local transport authority; a metropolitan district council; a person providing services to a local transport authority, the Secretary of State or a metropolitan district council. A public authority must not disclose information supplied to the authority under this section if it is information which the authority may refuse to disclose in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in reliance on a claim that the information is exempt information by virtue of section 40, 41, 42 or 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Subsection (8) does not prevent the disclosure of information— under subsection (6)(b), in the case of information relating to the affairs of an individual who is alive or a particular business that is being carried on, with the consent of the individual or the person for the time being carrying on the business, for the purposes of civil proceedings brought by virtue of this Act or the Transport Act 1985, in order to comply with the order of a court of tribunal, or in order to comply with a requirement imposed by law. The prohibition in subsection (8) is to be disregarded for the purposes of section 44 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. “relevant function” means— reviewing an enhanced partnership plan or the operation of an enhanced partnership scheme, determining whether and how to vary an enhanced partnership plan or scheme, or determining whether to revoke an enhanced partnership plan or scheme; “relevant information” means information relating to a local service or passengers on a local service which is of a description specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State. The holder of a PSV operator’s licence must ensure that the training requirement is fulfilled in relation to any person who— drives a public service vehicle being used under the licence to provide a local service, or on behalf of the holder of the licence deals directly with— passengers travelling on vehicles being used under the licence to provide local services, or issues related to such passengers. The training requirement is that, within the past five years, the person has completed training the aim of which is to assist the person to identify, respond appropriately to and, where safe to do so, prevent— criminal offences that would cause a victim or potential victim of the offence to fear for their personal safety, and anti-social behaviour, within the meaning given by section 29(1) of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003. The Secretary of State may by regulations require holders of PSV operators’ licences— to keep such records relating to their compliance with the requirements of this section as are specified or described in the regulations, to publish, in such manner and at such times as the regulations specify, such information relating to their compliance with the requirements of this section as is specified or described in the regulations, and to provide to the Secretary of State such information relating to their compliance with the requirements of this section as the Secretary of State may require. The Secretary of State may issue guidance about compliance with the requirements of this section and of regulations made under it. The Secretary of State may at any time vary or revoke guidance issued under subsection (4). The Secretary of State must publish— guidance issued under subsection (4), and any variation or revocation of the guidance. Subsections (1) and (2) of section 144F apply in relation to a local service which has one or more stopping places in Wales only if regulations made by the Secretary of State so provide. But the regulations may not provide for those subsections to apply in relation to— a local service that is provided in fulfilment of a duty imposed on the Welsh Ministers by an Act of Senedd Cymru, or a local service to the extent that it is provided in Wales under a permit granted by the Welsh Ministers under an Act of Senedd Cymru. Any person to whom a current statutory travel concession permit has been issued and who travels on an eligible journey on an eligible service is entitled, on production of the permit, to a concession consisting of a waiver of the fare for the journey by the operator of the service. In subsection (1) “eligible journey” means a journey on one public service vehicle (in one direction) which— is between places in England, begins at a relevant time, and is not one to which section 242(8) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (journeys beginning on the London bus network) applies. In this section “statutory travel concession permit” means— a permit issued pursuant to subsection (4), a permit issued by a London authority relating to the travel concession specified in section 242(8) and (8A) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (travel concessions on journeys beginning on the London bus network etc), or a permit issued by a London authority pursuant to paragraph 4(2) of Schedule 16 to that Act (free travel scheme in Greater London). A travel concession authority in England other than a London authority must, on an application made to it by any person who appears to the authority to be an elderly or disabled person whose sole or principal residence is in the authority's area, issue to the person free of charge a permit indicating that he is entitled to the concession specified in subsection (1). A permit issued pursuant to subsection (4) must be issued in such form and for such period— as may be specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State, and subject to that, as the authority issuing the permit considers appropriate. The Secretary of State may issue guidance to travel concession authorities in England to which they must have regard in determining for the purposes of subsection (4) whether a person is a disabled person. Before issuing guidance under subsection (6) the Secretary of State shall consult— the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee, associations representative of travel concession authorities, and such other persons as he thinks fit. The Secretary of State may issue guidance to travel concession authorities in England to which they must have regard in determining for the purposes of subsection (4) whether a person has his sole or principal residence in an authority's area. A person entitled to be issued with a statutory travel concession permit by a travel concession authority under subsection (4) may agree with the authority that he is not to be entitled to— the concession specified in subsection (1), and the concession provided by virtue of section 242(8) of, or paragraph A1 of Schedule 16 to, the Greater London Authority Act 1999, for a period in return for being entitled during that period to receive travel concessions under a scheme under section 93 of the Transport Act 1985 to which the authority is a party (if the scheme provides that a person may not receive travel concessions under the scheme unless he so agrees). The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about agreements within subsection (9). requiring the serving of notices before an agreement is made, about the form of agreements, and as to the period for which a person may agree not to be entitled to the concessions mentioned in subsection (9)(a) and (b). Any person to whom a current statutory travel concession permit has been issued by a travel concession authority in Wales and who travels on an eligible service on a journey (beginning at any time)— between places in the authority's area, between a place in the authority's area and a place outside but in the vicinity of that area, or between places outside but in the vicinity of that area, is entitled, on production of the permit, to a concession consisting of a waiver of the fare for the journey by the operator of the service. And if the permit is in a form approved by the Welsh Ministers for the purpose of this subsection, subsection (1) has effect as if each reference in it to the authority's area were to Wales. A travel concession authority in Wales must, on an application made to it by any person who appears to the authority to be an elderly or disabled person residing in its area, issue to the person free of charge a permit, in such form and for such period as the authority considers appropriate, indicating that he is entitled to the concession specified in subsection (1). If it appears to a travel concession authority in Wales issuing a statutory travel concession permit to a disabled person that the person requires the assistance of a companion to travel on journeys on public passenger transport services, the authority must mark that clearly on the permit. Where a person whose current statutory travel concession permit is marked in accordance with subsection (4) is entitled under this section to waiver of the fare for a journey, one companion travelling on the journey with the person (and nominated by the person as the person's companion for that journey) is also entitled to waiver of the fare for the journey. The Welsh Ministers may issue guidance to travel concession authorities in Wales to which they must have regard in determining for the purposes of subsection (3) whether a person is a disabled person. Before issuing guidance under subsection (6) the Welsh Ministers shall consult— such other persons as they think fit. A person entitled to be issued with a statutory travel concession permit by a travel concession authority in Wales may agree with the authority that he is not to be entitled to the concession specified in subsection (1) for a period in return for being entitled during that period to receive travel concessions under a scheme under section 93 of the Transport Act 1985 (if the scheme provides that a person may not receive travel concessions under the scheme unless he so agrees). The Welsh Ministers may by regulations make provision about agreements within subsection (8). as to the period for which a person may agree not to be entitled to the concession specified in subsection (1). In this section “statutory travel concession permit” means a permit issued pursuant to subsection (3). In this Part— “disabled person” means a person who— is blind or partially sighted, is profoundly or severely deaf, is without speech, has a disability, or has suffered an injury, which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his ability to walk, does not have arms or has long-term loss of the use of both arms, has a learning disability, that is, a state of arrested or incomplete development of mind which includes significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning, or would, if he applied for the grant of a licence to drive a motor vehicle under Part III of the Road Traffic Act 1988, have his application refused pursuant to section 92 of that Act (physical fitness) otherwise than on the ground of persistent misuse of drugs or alcohol, “elderly person” means a person who has attained the age of 60 years, “eligible service” means— ... a bus service of a class specified in an order made by the Secretary of State (as respects England) or the National Assembly for Wales (as respects Wales), “a half-price travel concession”, in relation to a journey, means reduction of the fare for the journey to not more than one-half of that applicable to an adult who is not entitled to any reduction, “London authority” means a London borough council or the Common Council of the City of London, “relevant time” means— any time on a Saturday or Sunday or on any day which is a bank holiday in England and Wales under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, or a time during the period from 9.30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on any other day, and “travel concession authority” means— a London authority, a Passenger Transport Executive for an integrated transport area in England, ... a combined county authority, the Council of the Isles of Scilly, or a county council or county borough council in Wales, A county council or a council of a non-metropolitan district is not a travel concession authority for the purposes of this Part where— The Welsh Ministers may by order amend either or both of sections 145B and 146 for or in connection with securing that section 145B(1)— applies to any person for the time being eligible to receive travel concessions under a scheme under section 93 of the Transport Act 1985 or to any such person of a specified description (as well as to any elderly person and any disabled person), applies to travel on any public passenger transport service or to travel on any such service of a specified description (as well as to travel on an eligible service), applies to a journey between a place in a travel concession authority’s area and a place outside but in the vicinity of that area or to a journey between places outside but in the vicinity of that area (as well as to a journey between places in that area), provides for the reduction of fares to less than one-half of those applicable to adults who are not entitled to any reduction or for waiver of fares, or applies, or does not apply, to a journey beginning at a specified time. An operator commits an offence if he systematically fails to comply with the obligation under section 145A(1) or 145B(1) during any period. A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. Proceedings for an offence under this section shall not be instituted except— by a travel concession authority, or by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions; and any authority who would not otherwise have power to bring such proceedings shall accordingly have that power. an operator provides concessions under section 145A(1) in respect of eligible journeys beginning in the area of a travel concession authority in England, or an operator provides concessions under section 145B(1) for persons who reside in the area of a travel concession authority in Wales, the authority shall reimburse the operator for providing the concessions. Subject to regulations under subsection (3), the arrangements with respect to reimbursement shall be— such as the travel concession authority may agree with the operators who provide concessions in respect of eligible journeys beginning in the authority's area (if the authority is in England), or for persons who reside in the authority's area (if the authority is in Wales), or in the absence of agreement, such as may be determined by the authority (being the same in the case of all of those operators) not later than 28 days before the date on which the arrangements, or any variations of the arrangements, are to come into operation.

The Secretary of State (as respects England) or the National Assembly for Wales (as respects Wales) may by regulations make provision— with respect to the determination by travel concession authorities of the amounts to be paid to individual operators, or to any class of operators, by way of reimbursement, as to the manner of making any payments due to operators by way of reimbursement, and about the terms on which, and the extent to which, travel concession authorities may employ any person as their agent for the purpose of making payments due to operators by way of reimbursement and the descriptions of persons who may be so employed. At least four months before the coming into operation of, or of any variations of, any arrangements with respect to reimbursement determined by a travel concession authority in accordance with section 149(2)(b), the authority shall publish the proposed arrangements, or the proposed variations, in such manner as they consider appropriate. Following publication— copies of the published material shall be made available at the principal office of the authority, a copy of it shall be supplied to every operator of local services who would, in the opinion of the authority, be affected by the proposals, and a copy of it shall be supplied to any person on request (whether at the principal office or by post), either free of charge or at a charge representing no more than the cost of providing the copy. An operator who considers that he may be prejudicially affected by the proposals may apply to— the Secretary of State (in the case of arrangements determined by a travel concession authority in England), or the National Assembly of Wales (in the case of arrangements determined by such an authority in Wales), for a modification of the proposed arrangements, or proposed variations, on the grounds that there are special reasons why they would be inappropriate with respect to one or more local services provided by him. An application under subsection (3)(a) shall be made by notice in writing given not later than 56 days after the date on which the arrangements, or the variations, come into operation. An application under subsection (3)(b) shall be made by notice in writing given not later than 28 days after the date on which the arrangements, or the variations, come into operation. An application under subsection (3) may not be made unless the applicant has previously given notice in writing of his intention to make the application to the travel concession authority by which the arrangements, or varied arrangements, are being, or have been, determined. The Secretary of State (as respects England) or the National Assembly for Wales (as respects Wales)— may make regulations as to the form and content of notices under this section and the manner in which they are to be given, may appoint a person to determine an application under subsection (3) on his or its behalf, and may by regulations make provision as to the procedure to be followed in connection with applications under subsection (3). Regulations made under subsection (6)(c) may in particular make provision— as to the conduct of any proceedings held in connection with applications under subsection (3), and for applicants or travel concession authorities, or both, to make payments towards the expenses incurred in connection with the determination of such applications. On an application under subsection (3) the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales, or (if a person is appointed under subsection (6)(b) to determine the application) the person so appointed, may direct— that the arrangements, or varied arrangements, are to have effect with such modifications as are specified in the direction from the time so specified, and that the authority shall make a payment of an amount specified in the direction to the applicant. Chapter VIII of Part IV of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (travel concessions on journeys in and around Greater London) has effect subject to the following amendments. Section 240 (travel concessions on journeys in and around Greater London) is amended as follows.

In Schedule 5 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (local non-domestic rating: exemptions), after paragraph 18A insert— A hereditament which is occupied (as mentioned in section 65 of this Act) is exempt to the extent that— it consists of a road in respect of which charges are imposed by a charging scheme under Schedule 23 to the Greater London Authority Act 1999 or Part III of the Transport Act 2000, or it is used solely for or in connection with the operation of such a scheme. But office buildings are not exempt under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above. In section 23 of the Railways Act 1993, in subsection (1) (duty of Authority to designate passenger services as eligible for provision under franchise agreements), for the words after “designate” substitute “ such services for the carriage of passengers by railway (other than services which are, by virtue of section 24 below, exempt from designation under this subsection) as it considers ought to be provided under franchise agreements. ” In that section, after subsection (2) insert— A designation may be varied or revoked; but a variation or revocation of the designation of particular services, or services of a class or description, shall not affect any franchise agreement previously entered into with respect to those services or services of that class or description. The Authority shall publish designations, and any variations or revocations of designations, in such manner as it considers appropriate. In section 26 of that Act (invitations to tender for franchise), after subsection (3) insert— The directions which may be given under subsection (1) above (at any time when the Secretary of State considers it inappropriate that the person who is to be the franchisee under a franchise agreement should be selected after an invitation to tender) include— a direction that that person is to be the person specified in the direction, and a direction requiring the Authority to select that person in such manner as is so specified, (as well as a direction authorising the Authority to select that person in such other manner as it may consider appropriate). The Secretary of State shall prepare and publish a statement of policy with respect to directions under subsection (1) above. The statement shall (in particular) contain the Secretary of State’s policy about— when he will consider giving a direction (including, in particular, when he will consider doing so in relation to a franchise agreement which is to replace an earlier franchise agreement before the end of its franchise term); and the sorts of direction which he will consider giving in particular circumstances. In deciding whether to give a direction, and (if so) what direction to give, the Secretary of State shall have regard to the statement of policy. The Secretary of State— may at any time alter or replace a statement of policy; and shall publish the altered or replacement statement. The Secretary of State shall undertake appropriate consultation when preparing, altering or replacing a statement of policy. When a statement of policy is prepared, altered or replaced, a copy of the statement shall be laid before each House of Parliament. For section 30 of that Act substitute— The Authority shall provide, or secure the provision of, services for the carriage of passengers by railway where— a direction not to seek to secure the provision of the services under a franchise agreement has been given to the Authority under section 26A or 26B above (and not revoked); or a franchise agreement in respect of the services is terminated or otherwise comes to an end but no further franchise agreement has been entered into in respect of the services (otherwise than because of such a direction). The duty in subsection (1) above in relation to any services ceases if the services begin (or again begin) to be provided under a franchise agreement. Subsection (1) above does not— require the Authority to provide or secure the provision of services if and to the extent that, in its opinion, adequate alternative railway passenger services are available; preclude it from giving notice under subsection (5) of section 38 below in relation to any of the services, in which case its duty under this section to secure the provision of the services to which the notice relates will (subject to subsections (5) and (6) of that section) terminate on the day specified in the notice in pursuance of paragraph (b) of that subsection; or preclude it from ceasing to provide or secure the provision of any of the services in any case falling within any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (2) of that section.

Schedule 16 transfers to the Authority the functions of the Franchising Director. All the property, rights and liabilities of the Franchising Director (including any rights and liabilities relating to staff appointed by him) are by virtue of this section transferred to the Authority. Nothing in this Part affects the validity of anything done by or in relation to the Franchising Director. There may be continued by or in relation to the Authority anything (including legal proceedings) which is in the process of being done by or in relation to the Franchising Director when his functions, property, rights and liabilities are transferred to the Authority. Anything done by the Franchising Director which is in effect immediately before his functions, property, rights or liabilities are transferred to the Authority shall be treated as if done by the Authority. The Authority shall be substituted for the Franchising Director in private Acts, instruments made under Acts, other documents and legal proceedings. For the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996, where a person employed in the civil service of the state becomes an employee of the Authority by virtue of this section— his period of employment in the civil service of the state counts as a period of employment with the Authority, and the change of employment does not break the continuity of the period of employment. In consequence of the preceding provisions of this section the office of Franchising Director is abolished. If the Secretary of State determines that there are special circumstances which make it right that the person who is the Franchising Director immediately before the office is abolished should receive compensation, the Secretary of State shall pay to that person such compensation as may be determined by the Secretary of State. Schedule 17 makes provision for the transfer to the Authority of certain functions of the Office of Rail and Road and of associated property, rights and liabilities.

Schedule 18 transfers to the Authority the functions of the Board relating to the British Transport Police and associated property, rights and liabilities. In the Railways Act 1993, after section 16 insert— The Regulator may, on an application— made by the Authority, or made by any other person with the consent of the Authority, give to the operator of a network, station or light maintenance depot a direction to provide a new railway facility if the Regulator considers him to be an appropriate person to provide the new railway facility. give to a person who has an estate or interest in, or right over, an existing railway facility a direction to improve or develop the railway facility if the Regulator considers him to be an appropriate person to improve or develop the railway facility. The Authority’s consent to the making by any other person of an application under subsection (1) or (2) above may be given subject to compliance with conditions (and may be withdrawn if any condition is not complied with before the Regulator decides whether to give the direction). The Secretary of State may, after consultation with the Regulator, by order grant exemption from subsection (1) or (2) of section 16A above (or from both of those subsections) in respect of such railway facilities as may be specified in the order, but subject to compliance with such conditions (if any) as may be so specified. An exemption under subsection (1) above may be granted in respect of— railway facilities of a particular class or description, or a particular railway facility, or in respect of part only of railway facilities of a particular class or description or a particular railway facility. An exemption under subsection (1) above may be granted generally, to persons of a particular class or description or to a particular person. If a person fails to comply with any condition subject to compliance with which an exemption was granted, the Secretary of State may give a direction declaring that the exemption is revoked, so far as relating to that person, to such extent and as from such date as may be specified in the direction. Subject to subsection (4) above, an exemption, unless previously revoked in accordance with any term contained in the exemption, shall continue in force for such period as may be specified in, or determined by or under, the exemption. Exemptions may make different provision, or be granted subject to compliance with different conditions, for different cases. An application for a direction under section 16A above must be made to the Regulator in writing. The application must— specify the person to whom the direction would be given; state what it would require him to do; and give the applicant’s reasons for considering that person to be an appropriate person to do what the direction would require him to do. The applicant may at any time vary what the direction would require that person to do by giving to the Regulator notice in writing of the variation; but if the applicant is a person other than the Authority such a notice may only be given with the consent of the Authority. The application or notice of a variation may be accompanied by any written representations which the applicant wishes to make in relation to the direction. When the Regulator has received the application or notice of a variation, he must— send a copy to the person specified in the application, the Authority (if it is not the applicant) and any other persons who the Regulator considers ought to be sent one; and invite them to make written representations within a period specified in the invitation. If the person specified in the application makes representations that he is not an appropriate person to do what the direction would require him to do, the Regulator must decide that issue in advance of considering any other matters which may be relevant in deciding whether to give the direction. If that person makes such representations but the Regulator decides that he is an appropriate person to do what the direction would require him to do, the Regulator must— notify him of that decision; and invite him to make written representations within a period specified in the invitation about any other matters which may be relevant in deciding whether to give the direction. The Regulator must— send the applicant a copy of any representations received by him in response to any invitation under subsection (1) or (3) above; and invite him to make further written representations within a period specified in the invitation. Subject to subsection (6) below, the Regulator may substitute as the applicant any other person if— the applicant, the other person, and the Authority (if it is neither the applicant nor the other person), consent to the substitution. The applicant may, by giving notice in writing to the Regulator, withdraw or suspend the application at any time before the Regulator decides whether to give the direction. The Regulator may direct— the person specified in the application, the applicant, or any other person (apart from the Authority), to provide him with any information required by him in order to decide whether to give the direction. If a person fails to comply with a direction under subsection (7) above, the High Court or the Court of Session may, on the application of the Regulator, make such order as it thinks fit for requiring the failure to be made good. Such an order may provide that all the costs or expenses of and incidental to the application shall be borne by— the person who failed to comply; or in the case of a company or other association, any officers who are responsible for the failure to comply. The Regulator may only give a direction to a person under section 16A above to provide, improve or develop a railway facility if he is satisfied that the person will be adequately rewarded for providing, improving or developing the railway facility in accordance with the direction. In considering whether he is so satisfied the Regulator shall take into account (in particular)— any receipts obtained or likely to be obtained by the person (from the Authority, passengers, operators of railway services or any other persons) in connection with, or as a result of, the provision, improvement or development of the railway facility; and any other benefit obtained or likely to be obtained by him in consequence of its provision, improvement or development. Representations made by the applicant for a direction— under section 16C(4) above, or in response to an invitation under section 16D(4) above, may, in particular, include representations as to matters which he considers the Regulator should take into account in deciding whether the person to whom the direction would be given would be adequately rewarded for doing what it would require him to do. If the Regulator does not consider it right to give a direction under section 16A above in the terms applied for (or to reject the application), he may give a direction under that section in modified terms. The Regulator may include supplementary provisions in any direction under section 16A above, including (in particular)— provision adding detail (for instance, as to the time by which, or standard to which, the person to whom it is given is to do anything which it requires him to do); and provision imposing requirements on the applicant (for instance, to make arrangements for rewarding the person to whom the direction is given or to make payments to him). Before giving a direction under section 16A above which is in modified terms or includes supplementary provisions, the Regulator shall— notify his intention to give a direction to the applicant, the Authority (if it is not the applicant) and any other persons who the Regulator considers ought to be notified; and invite them to make written representations within a period specified in the invitation; and if the applicant makes representations that the direction should not be given, the Regulator shall not give it. Whatever the Regulator’s decision on an application he shall notify the decision to— the person specified in the application; the applicant; and any other persons who he considers ought to be notified. The Regulator may direct the person specified in the application or the applicant to pay to— the other of those persons, or any other person directed to provide information under section 16D(7) above, any such amount as he considers appropriate in respect of costs incurred in connection with the application. A person shall not be regarded as failing to comply with a direction under section 16A above if he has done everything which it is reasonably practicable to do in order to comply with the direction. If a person is unable to comply with such a direction because he does not have the necessary powers or rights (including rights over land), he shall not be taken to have done everything which it is reasonably practicable to do in order to comply with the direction unless he has done everything which it is reasonably practicable to do in order to obtain those powers or rights. A direction under section 16A above may only be revoked or varied by the Regulator— on the application of the person to whom the direction was given, the applicant for the direction or the Authority (if it was not the applicant); and after consultation with the other persons with power to apply for a revocation or variation. Such a direction may only be varied on an application by the applicant for the direction or the Authority if the Regulator is satisfied that the person to whom the direction was given will be adequately rewarded for providing, improving or developing the railway facility in accordance with the varied direction, taking into account (in particular) the matters specified in section 16E(2) above. The Regulator may grant an application for the variation or revocation of a direction under section 16A above by the applicant for the direction or the Authority on condition that he or it secures that any such compensation as the Regulator may specify is paid to the person to whom the direction was given in respect of any liabilities incurred, or other things done, by him in complying with the direction. The Regulator shall prepare, and from time to time revise, a code of practice supplementing sections 16A to 16G above and shall publish it in such manner as he considers appropriate. The Regulator shall have regard to the code of practice in the exercise of his functions under those sections. The code of practice may (in particular)— set out minimum periods to be specified in invitations to make representations; include provision about requesting the provision of information prior to giving a direction under section 16D(7) above; specify principles according to which directions to pay costs are to be given under section 16F(5) above; and make provision about the consultation required by section 16G(3)(b) above. References in sections 16A to 16H above and this section to a railway facility include part of a railway facility. Nothing in any of those sections or a direction under section 16A above— limits any power of the Regulator under any other provision of this Act; or affects any obligation to provide a new railway facility, or to improve or develop an existing railway facility, arising otherwise than from such a direction. Section 4 of the Railways Act 1993 (general duties of Regulator and Secretary of State) is amended as follows. In subsection (1) (objectives)— for “Secretary of State and the Regulator shall each” substitute “ Regulator shall ”, after paragraph (b) insert— to contribute to the development of an integrated system of transport of passengers and goods; to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development; and in paragraph (d) (promotion of competition in provision of railway services), insert at the end “ for the benefit of users of railway services ”. In subsection (2) (objectives)— for “Secretary of State and the Regulator shall each” substitute “ Regulator shall ”, and omit “the Secretary of State or, as the case may be,”. In subsection (3) (safety and the environment), for “Secretary of State and the Regulator shall each” substitute “ Regulator shall ”. Subsections (1) to (3) above shall have effect in relation to the Secretary of State as in relation to the Regulator, except that in their application to the Secretary of State— paragraph (za) of subsection (1) above shall be disregarded; and the references in each of the subsections to the functions transferred or assigned to the Secretary of State under or by virtue of this Part include only the functions transferred or assigned to him under or by virtue of sections 6 to 22 and 37 to 50 below. In subsection (5) (additional duties of Regulator), for paragraph (a) (duty until 31st December 1996 to take account of guidance of Secretary of State) substitute— to have regard to any general guidance given to him by the Secretary of State about railway services or other matters relating to railways; After subsection (7) insert— Any general guidance given by the Secretary of State to the Regulator about railway services or other matters relating to railways— shall be published by the Secretary of State in such manner as he considers appropriate; and may be varied or revoked. In the Railways Act 1993, after section 57 insert— If the appropriate authority is satisfied that a relevant operator has contravened or is contravening— a relevant condition or requirement, or a final or provisional order made by the appropriate authority, the appropriate authority may impose on the relevant operator a penalty of such amount as is reasonable. A penalty is payable to the Authority. The amount of a penalty imposed on a relevant operator may not exceed 10 per cent. of his turnover determined in accordance with an order made by the Secretary of State; and an order under this subsection shall not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. No penalty may be imposed in respect of any contravention of a final or provisional order if provision was made in the order by virtue of section 55(7A) above in relation to the contravention. The Authority shall not impose a penalty on a licence holder or person under closure restrictions unless— it has given notice to the Regulator specifying a period within which he may give notice to it if he considers that the most appropriate way of proceeding is under the Competition Act 1998; that period has expired; and the Regulator has not given notice to the Authority within that period that he so considers (or, if he has, he has withdrawn it). The Regulator shall not impose a penalty if he is satisfied that the most appropriate way of proceeding is under the Competition Act 1998. The Authority and the Regulator shall each prepare and publish a statement of policy with respect to the imposition of penalties and the determination of their amount. A statement of policy may include provision for a decision whether to impose a penalty, or the determination of the amount of any penalty, in respect of the contravention of any relevant condition or requirement or order to be influenced by— the desirability of securing compliance with that relevant condition or requirement or order; the consequences or likely consequences of anything which has been or is being done or omitted to be done in contravention of that relevant condition or requirement or order; and the desirability of deterring contraventions of relevant conditions and requirements and final and provisional orders. In deciding whether to impose a penalty, and in determining the amount of any penalty, in respect of a contravention the Authority and Regulator shall have regard to any statement of its or his policy published at the time when the contravention occurred. The Authority and Regulator— may at any time alter or replace a statement of his or its policy; and The Authority and Regulator shall undertake appropriate consultation when preparing, altering or replacing a statement of policy. The Authority and Regulator shall publish a statement of policy in the manner that appears most suitable for bringing it to the attention of those likely to be affected by it. This section applies in relation to sums required to be paid by virtue of section 55(7A) above as to penalties, but as if— references to the imposition of penalties were to the inclusion in an order of a requirement to pay a sum; references to relevant conditions or requirements were omitted; and the reference in subsection (2)(b) above to anything which has been or is being done or omitted to be done included a reference to anything which is likely to be done or omitted to be done. Before it imposes a penalty on a relevant operator, the appropriate authority shall give notice— stating that it proposes to impose a penalty on the relevant operator and the amount of the penalty proposed, setting out the relevant condition or requirement or order in question, specifying the acts or omissions which, in its opinion, constitute contraventions of that condition or requirement or order and the other facts which, in its opinion, justify the imposition of a penalty and the amount of the penalty proposed, specifying the manner in which, and place at which, it is proposed to require the penalty to be paid, and specifying the period (not being less than 21 days from the date of publication of the notice) within which representations or objections with respect to the proposed penalty may be made, and shall consider any representations or objections which are duly made and not withdrawn. A notice under subsection (1) above shall be given— by publishing the notice in such manner as the appropriate authority considers appropriate; and by serving a copy of the notice on the relevant operator. Where the Regulator serves a copy of a notice under subsection (1) above on a licence holder, he shall also serve a copy on the Authority; and where the Authority so serves a copy of such a notice, it shall also serve a copy on the Regulator. The appropriate authority shall not modify a proposal to impose a penalty except— with the consent of the relevant operator; where the modifications consist of a reduction of the amount of the penalty or a deferral of the date by which it is to be paid; or after complying with the requirements of subsection (5) below. The requirements mentioned in subsection (4)(c) above are that the appropriate authority shall— give to the relevant operator such notice as appears to it requisite of its modified proposal; unless the proposed modifications are trivial, in that notice specify a period (not being less than seven days from the date of service of the notice) within which representations or objections with respect to the proposed modifications may be made; and consider any representations or objections which are duly made and not withdrawn. As soon as practicable after imposing a penalty, the appropriate authority shall give notice— stating that it has imposed a penalty on the relevant operator and its amount; setting out the relevant condition or requirement or order in question; specifying the acts or omissions which, in its opinion, constitute contraventions of that condition or requirement or order and the other facts which, in its opinion, justify the imposition of the penalty and its amount; specifying the manner in which, and place at which, the penalty is to be paid; and specifying the date (not being less than fourteen days from the date of publication of the notice) by which the penalty is to be paid. A notice under subsection (6) above shall be given— The relevant operator may, within 21 days of the date of service on him of the notice under subsection (6) above, make an application to the appropriate authority for it to specify different dates by which different portions of the penalty are to be paid. No penalty may be imposed in respect of a contravention by a relevant operator— by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section 57A above in a case where no final or provisional order has been made in relation to the contravention, or by virtue of paragraph (b) of that subsection, unless a copy of the notice relating to the penalty under section 57C(1) above is served on the relevant operator within two years of the time of the contravention. No penalty may be imposed in respect of a contravention by a relevant operator by virtue of section 57A(1)(a) above in a case where a final or provisional order has been made in relation to the contravention unless a copy of the notice relating to the penalty under section 57C(1) above is served on the relevant operator— within three months of the confirmation of the provisional order or the making of the final order; or where the provisional order is not confirmed, within six months of the making of the provisional order. If the whole or any part of a penalty is not paid by the date by which it is to be paid, the unpaid balance from time to time shall carry interest at the rate for the time being specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838. If an application is made under subsection (8) of section 57C above in relation to a penalty, the penalty need not be paid until the application has been determined. If the appropriate authority grants an application under that subsection in relation to a penalty but any portion of the penalty is not paid by the date specified in relation to it by the appropriate authority under that subsection, so much of the penalty as has not already been paid is to be paid immediately. If the relevant operator to whom a penalty order relates is aggrieved by a penalty and desires to question its validity on the ground— that it was not within the powers of section 57A above, that any of the requirements of section 57C above have not been complied with in relation to it and his interests have been substantially prejudiced by the non-compliance, or that it was unreasonable of the appropriate authority not to grant an application under section 57C(8) above; he may make an application to the court under this section. An application under this section by a person shall be made— where it is on the ground mentioned in subsection (1)(c) above, within 42 days from the date on which he is notified of the decision not to grant the application under section 57C(8) above, and in any other case, within 42 days from the date of service on him of the notice under section 57C(6) above. If an application is made under this section in relation to a penalty, the penalty need not be paid until the application has been determined. On an application under this section on the ground mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) above the court, if satisfied that the ground is established, may quash the penalty or (instead of quashing it) make provision under either or both of paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (5) below. The provision referred to in subsection (4) above is— provision substituting a penalty of such lesser amount as the court considers appropriate in all the circumstances of the case; and provision substituting as the date by which the penalty, or any portion of the penalty, is to be paid a date later than that specified in the notice under section 57C(6) above. On an application under this section on the ground mentioned in subsection (1)(c) above the court, if satisfied that the ground is established, may specify different dates by which different portions of the penalty are to be paid. Where the court substitutes a penalty of a lesser amount it may require the payment of interest on the substituted penalty at such rate, and from such date, as it determines; and where it specifies as the date by which the penalty, or a portion of the penalty, is to be paid a date before the determination of the application it may require the payment of interest on the penalty, or portion, from that date at such rate as it determines. Except as provided by this section, the validity of a penalty shall not be questioned by any legal proceedings whatever. In section 55 of that Act (orders for securing compliance), for subsection (8) substitute— The provision that may be made in a final or provisional order includes, in particular, provision requiring the relevant operator to pay to the Authority in the event of any specified contravention of the order such reasonable sum in respect of the contravention as is specified in, or determined in accordance with, the order in such manner, at such place and by such date as is so specified or determined. The amount of the sum may not exceed 10 per cent. of the turnover of the relevant operator determined in accordance with an order made by the Secretary of State; and an order under this subsection shall not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. If the whole or any part of the sum is not paid by the date by which it is to be paid, the unpaid balance from time to time shall carry interest at the rate for the time being specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838. In section 55 of the Railways Act 1993 (orders for securing compliance)— in subsection (5) (cases where order shall not be made or confirmed) omit paragraphs (b) and (c), after subsection (5A) insert— If the appropriate authority is satisfied— that the relevant operator has agreed to take, and is taking, all such steps as it appears to the appropriate authority for the time being to be appropriate for the relevant operator to take for the purpose of securing or facilitating compliance with the condition or requirement in question, or that the contravention or apprehended contravention will not adversely affect the interests of users of railway services or lead to any increase in public expenditure, it shall only make a final order, or make or confirm a provisional order, if it considers it appropriate to do so. In section 56 of that Act (procedural requirements about orders)— in subsection (1)(c) (requirement of at least 28 days’ notice for making representations or objections to proposed final order or proposed confirmation of provisional order), for “28” substitute “ 21 ”, in subsection (4)(b) (requirement of at least 28 days’ notice for making representations or objections to proposed modifications), for “in that notice specify the period (not being less than 28” substitute “ unless the proposed modifications are trivial, in that notice specify a period (not being less than seven ”, and in subsection (6)(b) (requirement of at least 28 days’ notice for making representations or objections to proposal to revoke order), for “28” substitute “ 21 ”.

Schedule 23 makes amendments of the provisions about the finances and procedures of consultative committees. In subsection (1) of section 18 of the Railways Act 1993 (access contracts requiring approval of Regulator), after paragraph (b) insert or the access contract is of a class or description specified in a general approval given by the Regulator; and for the words from “which is” to the end substitute “ shall be void unless one of the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (c) above is satisfied. ” After subsection (7) of that section insert— Where the Regulator gives or revokes a general approval under subsection (1)(c) above, he shall publish the approval or revocation in such manner as he considers appropriate. The revocation of a general approval given under subsection (1)(c) above shall not affect the continuing validity of any access contract to which it applied.

In the Railways Act 1993, after section 19 insert— Schedule 4A to this Act (which contains provision about the review of access charges by the Regulator) shall have effect. After Schedule 4 to that Act insert, as Schedule 4A, the Schedule set out in Schedule 24 to this Act.

In subsection (1)(a) above “more extensive use” means— increased use for the purpose for which the applicant is permitted by the access agreement to use the railway facility or network installation, or (in the case of a railway facility) use for any other permitted purpose, and if the applicant is permitted to use only part of the railway facility or network installation, includes use for the purpose for which he is permitted to use it, or (in the case of a railway facility) for any other permitted purpose, of any other part of the railway facility or network installation. In subsection (2) above “permitted purpose”, in relation to a railway facility, means a purpose for which directions may be given in relation to the railway facility under section 17 above. No directions shall be given under this section in relation to a railway facility if and to the extent that— the railway facility is, by virtue of section 20 above, an exempt facility; or performance of the access agreement as amended would necessarily involve the facility owner in being in breach of another access agreement or an international railway access contract. No directions shall be given under this section in relation to a railway facility or network installation if and to the extent that, as a result of an obligation or duty owed by the facility owner or installation owner which arose before the coming into force of section 17 or 19 above, the consent of some other person is required by him before he may make the amendments. Nothing in this section authorises the Regulator to give directions to any person requiring him to grant a lease of the whole or any part of a railway facility or network installation. In this section and section 22B below— “international railway access contract” and “lease” have the same meaning as in section 17 above; and “network installation” has the same meaning as in section 19 above. Schedule 4 to this Act shall have effect with respect to applications for directions under section 22A above as it has effect with respect to applications for directions under section 17 above (but subject as follows). In its application by virtue of this section Schedule 4 to this Act has effect with the following modifications— in paragraph 1, in the definition of “the facility owner”, for “17(1)” there shall be substituted “22A” and, in the definition of “interested person”, for “enter into the required access contract” there shall be substituted “make the amendments”; in paragraph 2(1), for “which the applicant proposes should be contained in the required access contract” and “to be contained in the required access contract” there shall be substituted “of the proposed amendments”; in paragraph 5(2), for “to the facility owner requiring him to enter into an access contract” there shall be substituted “under section 22A of this Act”; for paragraph 5(2)(a)(i) and (ii) there shall be substituted “the amendments to be made and the date by which they are to be made; and”; in paragraph 6(2), for the words from “facility owner’s” to the end of paragraph (c) there shall be substituted “making of the amendments, the performance of the access agreement as amended or failing to take any step to protect the interests of the interested person in connection with the application for directions or the making of the amendments,”; and in paragraph 6(3), for “any access contract which is entered into” there shall be substituted “the amendments made”; and the definition of “the required access contract”, and the words following that definition, in paragraph 1 and paragraph 5(4) shall be omitted. In its application by virtue of this section in relation to an application relating to an installation access contract Schedule 4 to this Act has effect with the following further modifications— references to the railway facility shall have effect as references to the network installation; references to the facility owner shall have effect as references to the installation owner; and in the definition of “interested person” in paragraph 1, for “17” there shall be substituted “19”. The Regulator may determine that, in their application by virtue of this section in relation to any particular application, paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 4 to this Act shall have effect as if for any of the numbers of days specified in them there were substituted the lower number specified by the Regulator. The Regulator may give directions requiring the parties to an access agreement to make to the access agreement amendments which are, in his opinion, necessary to give effect to the conditions of a licence or otherwise required in consequence of the conditions of a licence. The Regulator shall not have power to direct or otherwise require amendments to be made to an access agreement except in accordance with section 22A above, subsection (1) above or Schedule 4A to this Act. If an access agreement includes provision for any of its terms to be varied— by agreement of the parties, or by direction or other requirement of the Regulator, a variation made pursuant to that provision shall not be regarded for the purposes of section 22 above or subsection (2) above as an amendment of the agreement. In section 17(6) of the Railways Act 1993 (directions requiring facility owners to enter into contracts for use of their railway facilities), in the definition of “facility owner”, after paragraph (b) insert “ but also includes a person before he becomes a facility owner; ”. In section 19 of that Act (contracts for use of installations comprised in a network)— in subsection (9), in the definition of “installation owner”, after paragraph (b) insert “ but also includes a person before he becomes an installation owner; ”, and in subsection (11), insert at the end “ and to one which is proposed to be constructed or is in the course of construction. ” In section 83 of that Act (interpretation of Part I), after subsection (1) insert— In sections 17 to 22C above (and Schedule 4 to this Act) references to a railway facility (including references to any track, station or light maintenance depot) or a network include references to a railway facility (or any track, station or light maintenance depot) or a network which is proposed to be constructed or is in the course of construction. Schedule 25 makes provision for the transfer to the Secretary of State of property, rights and liabilities of the Board. Section 84 of the Railways Act 1993 (power of Board to form companies) shall apply as if facilitating the carrying into effect of, or of any provision made under, sections 217, 218 and 240 and Schedules 18, 19 and 25 were a purpose specified by the Secretary of State under subsection (1)(d) of that section; and section 85 of that Act (power of Board to make transfer schemes) shall apply as if that were a purpose specified in subsection (3)(b) of that section. The Board shall give to the Authority any information, prepare any document and do any other thing which appears to the Authority appropriate for facilitating the carrying into effect of, or of any provision made under, sections 217, 218 and 240 and Schedules 18, 19 and 25. by order made by statutory instrument reduce the membership of the Board to a chairman and one or more other persons appointed by the Secretary of State, and by notice in writing remove from office any member of the Board or vary the terms of his appointment. When, after consulting the Board, the Secretary of State considers that it is no longer necessary for the Board to continue to exist, he shall by order made by statutory instrument provide for its dissolution. If a person ceases to hold office as chairman or a member of the Board by virtue of subsection (3)(b) or (4) before his term of office would otherwise have expired and the Secretary of State determines that there are special circumstances which make it right that the person should receive compensation— if the person ceases to hold office by virtue of subsection (3)(b), the Board, and if the person ceases to hold office by virtue of subsection (4), the Secretary of State, shall pay to the person such compensation as may be determined by the Secretary of State. Where an order under subsection (4) provides for the Board to be dissolved with effect from a time which would not, apart from this subsection, be the end of its financial year, the financial year of the Board which is current at that time shall be deemed to end with its dissolution. An order under subsection (4) which so provides may contain such provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate (including provision modifying the effect of any enactment) for the Board or the Authority— to prepare accounts for the final financial year of the Board, and to make and lay before Parliament a report relating to the carrying out of the Board’s functions during that financial year. In section 15 of the Railways Act 1993 (modification of licence conditions following report of Competition Commission), after subsection (4) insert— Where (after considering any representations or objections which are duly made and not withdrawn) the Regulator or Authority proposes to make or require the making of modifications under this section, he or it shall give notice to the Competition Commission— setting out the modifications he proposes to make or it proposes to require to be made; and stating the reasons why he proposes to make the modifications or it proposes to require the making of them. The Regulator or Authority shall include with the notice under subsection (4A) above a copy of any representations and objections which have been considered. If the period within which a direction may be given by the Competition Commission under section 15A below expires without such a direction being given, the Regulator or Authority shall make, or require the making of, the modifications set out in the notice given under subsection (4A) above. If a direction is given by the Competition Commission under section 15A(1)(b) below, the Regulator or Authority shall make, or require the making of, such of those modifications as are not specified in the direction. The Competition Commission may, within the period of four weeks beginning with the day on which they are given notice under section 15(4A) above, give a direction to the Regulator or Authority— not to make, or require the making of, the modifications set out in the notice; or not to make such of those modifications as are specified in the direction. The Secretary of State may, if an application is made to him by the Competition Commission within that period of four weeks, extend the period within which a direction may be given under this section to one of six weeks beginning with the day on which the Competition Commission are given notice under section 15(4A) above. The Competition Commission may give a direction under this section only if the modifications to which it relates do not appear to them requisite for the purpose of remedying or preventing the adverse effects specified in their report on the reference under section 13 above. If the Competition Commission give a direction under this section, they shall give notice— setting out the modifications contained in the notice given under section 15(4A) above; setting out the direction; and stating the reasons why they are giving the direction.

If the Competition Commission give a direction under section 15A above, they shall themselves make such modifications of the conditions of the licence as appear to them requisite for the purpose of remedying or preventing— the adverse effects specified in their report on the reference under section 13 above; or such of those adverse effects as would not be remedied or prevented by the modifications made by the Regulator, or required to be made by the Authority, under section 15(4D) above. In exercising the function conferred by subsection (1) above, the Competition Commission shall have regard to the matters as respects which duties are imposed on the Regulator by section 4 above. Before making modifications under this section, the Competition Commission shall give notice— stating that they propose to make the modifications and setting out their effect, stating the reasons why they propose to make the modifications, and specifying the period (not being less than 28 days from the date of publication of the notice) within which representations or objections may be made, A notice under subsection (3) above shall be given— by publishing the notice in such manner as the Competition Commission consider appropriate for the purpose of bringing the matters to which the notice relates to the attention of persons likely to be affected by the making of the modifications; and As soon as practicable after making any modifications under this section, the Competition Commission shall send a copy of those modifications to the Regulator, the Authority and the Health and Safety Executive. The provisions mentioned in subsection (2) below are to apply in relation to the exercise by the Competition Commission of their functions under sections 15A and 15B above as if— in section 82(1) and (2) of the 1973 Act references to a report of the Competition Commission under that Act were references to a notice under section 15A(4) or 15B(3) above; in section 85 of that Act references to an investigation on a reference made to the Competition Commission were references to an investigation by the Competition Commission for the purposes of the exercise of their functions under those sections; and in section 93B of that Act references to the functions of the Competition Commission under that Act were references to their functions under those sections. sections 82(1) and (2) (general provisions as to reports), 85 (attendance of witnesses and production of documents) and 93B (false or misleading information) of the 1973 Act; Part II of Schedule 7 to the Competition Act 1998 (performance of the Competition Commission’s general functions); and section 24 of the 1980 Act (modification of provisions about performance of such functions). For the purpose of assisting the Competition Commission in exercising their functions under sections 15A and 15B above, the Regulator and the Authority shall give to the Competition Commission any information in his or its possession which relates to matters relevant to the exercise of those functions and— is requested by the Competition Commission for that purpose; or is information which, in his or its opinion, it would be appropriate for that purpose to give to the Competition Commission without any such request; and any other assistance which the Competition Commission may require, and which it is within his or its power to give, in relation to any such matters. For the purpose of exercising those functions, the Competition Commission shall take account of any information given to them for that purpose under subsection (3) above. Section 67 of the Railways Act 1993 (functions of Regulator and Director General of Fair Trading) is amended as follows. In subsection (3) (concurrent exercise by Regulator and Director of functions under Part I of Competition Act 1998 so far as relating to agreements etc. which relate to supply of railway services), for “railway services” substitute “ services relating to railways ”. In subsection (3) above “services relating to railways” means— railway services; the provision or maintenance of rolling stock; the development, maintenance or renewal of a network, station or light maintenance depot;

and the development, provision or maintenance of information systems designed wholly or mainly for facilitating the provision of railway services. The Secretary of State may by order amend subsection (3ZA) above; and an order under this subsection shall not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. The Authority shall make provision for increases in pensions and capital sums to which this section applies broadly corresponding to each increase in official pensions under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 and section 59 of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 (“an official pensions increase”).

But where it was the practice of the Board, when making increases broadly corresponding to an official pensions increase, in any circumstances— not to make provision for an increase, or to make provision for an increase of a reduced amount, subsection (1) does not require the Authority to make in similar circumstances provision for an increase in excess of any for which the Board would have made provision. In paragraph 6(2)(a)(ii) of Schedule 11 to the Railways Act 1993 (power to make order providing for pension rights of protected persons to be no less favourable as a result of a transfer of pension rights), after “rights” insert “ (whether made between occupational pension schemes or sections of an occupational pension scheme or otherwise) ”.

The Authority need not do anything under subsection (8) above if or to the extent that to do it would have an adverse effect on the provision of services for the carriage of passengers or goods by railway (whether inside or outside the Passenger Transport Executive’s passenger transport area). The Authority need not do anything under subsection (8) above if or to the extent that to do it would increase the amount of any expenditure of the Authority under agreements or other arrangements entered into (in accordance with a franchise agreement) with— the franchise operator; the franchisee; or any servant, agent or independent contractor of the franchise operator or franchisee. In subsection (17) (disputes between Authority and Passenger Transport Executives: directions by Secretary of State), for “with respect to the dispute” substitute “ with respect to the proposal or franchise agreement ”. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision for the setting of standards to be complied with in relation to railway assets, railway vehicles or railway services. The regulations may provide— for standards to be set (and from time to time varied), or for compliance with standards to be monitored, by persons specified in, or designated in accordance with, the regulations. The regulations may authorise the setting of standards which involve obtaining the approval of any person. The regulations may authorise the charging of fees in respect of— the monitoring of compliance with standards, or the seeking of approvals in connection with standards. The regulations may impose requirements to provide information on persons who— are required to comply with standards, or set, or monitor compliance with, standards, and prohibit the giving of false information. The regulations may create criminal offences in respect of failures to comply with requirements imposed by the regulations. The regulations may provide for such offences to be triable— only summarily, or either summarily or on indictment. The regulations may provide for an offence triable only summarily to be punishable on conviction with a fine not exceeding— level 5 on the standard scale, or such lower amount as may be prescribed.

The regulations may make different provision for different cases and may (in particular) include provision— authorising conditional or unconditional dispensation from requirements imposed by the regulations which would otherwise apply, or requiring compliance with requirements so imposed which would not otherwise apply, in particular cases or descriptions of case. The regulations may include such incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provisions or savings as the Secretary of State may consider appropriate, including (in particular) provision modifying any provision made by or under any other enactment. The regulations shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. This section applies where— a person who provides services for the carriage of passengers by railway provides or secures the provision of substitute road services, or the provision of such services is secured by the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers or the National Assembly for Wales. In providing or securing the provision of the services, the person providing them, the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers or the National Assembly for Wales shall ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the substitute road services allow disabled passengers to undertake their journeys safely and in reasonable comfort. In the event of any failure by a person to comply with subsection (2), he ... shall be liable to pay damages in respect of any expenditure reasonably incurred, or other loss sustained, by a disabled passenger in consequence of the failure. The Secretary of State may by order grant exemption from subsection (2) to— any class or description of persons who provide services for the carriage of passengers by railway, or any particular person who provides such services, in respect of all substitute road services or any class or description of such services. Before making an order under subsection (4) the Secretary of State shall consult— the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee, and such other representative organisations as he thinks fit. An order under subsection (4) shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

Schedule 27 makes minor and consequential amendments relating to railways. Schedule 28 makes transitional provisions and savings relating to this Part. Expressions which are used both in this Part and in the Railways Act 1993 and are given a meaning for the purposes of that Act, or Part I of that Act, have the same meaning in this Part.

The regulations shall not require charges to be paid to a local highway authority unless the Secretary of State has approved it for the purposes of the regulations by order made by statutory instrument. The regulations may prescribe exemptions from the requirement to pay charges. The regulations may prescribe different rates of charge according to— the extent to which the surface of the highway is affected by the works, the place and time at which the works are executed, and such other factors as appear to the Secretary of State to be relevant. prescribe more than one rate of charge in respect of the same description of works, and provide that charges are to be paid in respect of any works of that description at the rate which appears to the highway authority to be appropriate in relation to those works. The regulations may make provision for the determination of the duration of works for the purposes of the regulations. And they may, in particular, make provision for works to be treated as beginning or ending on the giving of, or as stated in, a notice given by the undertaker to the highway authority, in the prescribed manner, in accordance with a requirement imposed by the regulations. The regulations may make provision as to the time and manner of making payment of charges. The regulations shall provide that a highway authority may reduce the amount, or waive payment, of a charge— in any particular case, in such classes of case as they may decide or as may be prescribed, or in all cases or in all cases other than a particular case or such class of case as they may decide or as may be prescribed.

The regulations may create in respect of any failure to give a notice required by the regulations a criminal offence triable summarily and punishable with a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. The regulations may require disputes of any prescribed description to be referred to an arbitrator appointed in accordance with the regulations. The first regulations under this section shall not be made unless a draft of them has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament; subsequent regulations shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. Nothing shall be taken to prevent the imposition of charges by both regulations under sections 74 and regulations under section 74A in respect of the execution of the same works at the same time. The reference to the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 in Schedule 1 to the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 is to be treated as referring to that Act as amended by this section and section 256.

In section 128 of that Act (removal of name from register), after subsection (6) insert— A decision to remove a name from the register shall take effect at the end of the period of fourteen days beginning with the day on which notice of the decision is given (or, if any appeal brought against the decision under the following provisions of this Part of this Act is previously withdrawn or dismissed, when the appeal is withdrawn or dismissed). and, in subsection (7), for “A decision to remove a name from the register shall” substitute “ But the Registrar may, when giving notice of his decision to remove the name from the register, direct that the decision shall instead ”. In section 130 of that Act (revocation of licence for giving instruction in order to obtain practical experience), for subsection (6) substitute— A decision to revoke a licence shall take effect at the end of the period of fourteen days beginning with the day on which notice of the decision is given (or, if any appeal brought against the decision under the following provisions of this Part of this Act is previously withdrawn or dismissed, when the appeal is withdrawn or dismissed). But the Registrar may, when giving notice of his decision to revoke a licence, direct that (if an appeal under the following provisions of this Part of this Act is brought against the decision) it shall instead take effect— if the appeal is withdrawn or struck out for want of prosecution, on the withdrawal or striking out of the appeal, or if and when the appeal is dismissed, and not otherwise. In section 131 of that Act (appeals against decisions of registrar), after subsection (4A) (inserted by section 258) insert— A person who is aggrieved by a decision of the Registrar not to give a direction under section 127(8), 128(7) or 130(6) of this Act may by notice in writing appeal to the Transport Tribunal within the period of ten days beginning with the day on which notice of the decision is given. The Transport Tribunal shall determine the appeal by either— giving the direction concerned, or dismissing the appeal, within the period of fourteen days beginning with the day on which notice of the decision is given. Where the Registrar has decided to refuse an application for the retention of a name in the register, to remove a name from the register or to revoke a licence granted under section 129 of this Act but either— he gave a direction under section 127(8), 128(7) or 130(6) of this Act, or the Transport Tribunal have given such a direction on appeal, he may by notice in writing apply to the Transport Tribunal for an order that the decision is to take effect immediately. The Transport Tribunal shall determine the Registrar’s application by either granting or refusing the application, within the period of fourteen days beginning with the day on which it is made. The Transport Tribunal may only grant the application if they consider that a failure to do so might prejudicially affect— the well-being of any person to whom the person concerned may give instruction in the driving of a motor car, or the safety of road users. Schedule 29 makes minor and consequential amendments about driver training and driving instructors. In section 2(5) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 (obligation to hold operator’s licence: penalty for offence), for “level 4” substitute “ level 5 ”. Subsection (1) does not apply to any offence committed before this section comes into force. In the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995, after section 2 insert— Schedule 1A (which relates to the detention, removal and disposal of goods vehicles in respect of which it appears that section 2 is contravened) shall have effect. After Schedule 1 to that Act insert, as Schedule 1A, the Schedule set out in Schedule 30 to this Act. In section 5 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 (vehicles authorised to be used under operator’s licence), for subsection (6) substitute— A motor vehicle which is not specified in an operator’s licence is not authorised to be used under that licence by virtue of subsection (1) on or after the relevant day unless the licence-holder— has given to a traffic commissioner a notice in such form and containing such information about the vehicle as is required by a traffic commissioner, and has paid the prescribed fee (if any) to a traffic commissioner. For the purposes of subsection (6) “the relevant day” is the latest of the following days— the day on which the vehicle was first in the lawful possession of the licence holder, the day on which the licence came into force, if a day not more than one month after the later of those days is prescribed for the purpose, the day so prescribed. In section 63 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (obligatory type approval certificates, certificates of conformity and Minister’s approval certificates), for subsection (5) (power to make exemptions by regulations) substitute— The Secretary of State may make provision for securing that, subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be specified by or under the instrument by which the provision is made— the use of vehicles is exempted from all or any of the preceding provisions of this section for purposes specified in the instrument or in such an area as is so specified, goods vehicles are exempted from the provisions of subsection (2) above, and there are issued in respect of vehicles or vehicle parts, in such circumstances as may be specified in the instrument, certificates of temporary exemption exempting the vehicles or vehicle parts from the provisions of subsection (1) above for such period as may be provided in the certificate. Subject to subsection (7) below, the power conferred by subsection (5) above is exercisable by regulations. That power is exercisable by order in relation to— specified vehicles, or vehicles of specified persons; and an order under this subsection may be varied or revoked by a subsequent order of the Secretary of State. In section 79 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 (which provides that a vehicle which is not a public service vehicle because of section 1(3) or (4) of that Act is to be treated as one for the purpose of excluding it from regulation as a private hire vehicle), for “1(3) or (4)” substitute “ 1(4) ”. If a small bus is being provided for hire with the services of a driver for the purpose of carrying passengers otherwise than at separate fares, it is not to be regarded as a public service vehicle for the purpose of— Part II of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, or any local Act applying in any area in England and Wales which regulates the use of private hire vehicles provided for hire with the services of a driver for the purpose of carrying passengers and excludes public service vehicles from the scope of that regulation. If a small bus is being made available with a driver to the public for hire for the purpose of carrying passengers otherwise than at separate fares, it is not to be regarded as a public service vehicle for the purpose of the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998. But subsection (1) or (2) does not apply where the vehicle is being so provided or made available in the course of a business of carrying passengers by motor vehicles all but a small part of which involves the operation of large buses. “small bus” means a public service vehicle within paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 1 of this Act; and “large buses” means public service vehicles within paragraph (a) of that subsection. In section 167(4) of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (touting for hire car services: defence in case of public service vehicles), for “passengers for public service vehicles” substitute “ passengers to be carried at separate fares by public service vehicles ”. After section 99 of the Transport Act 1968 insert— the driver of a UK vehicle obstructs an authorised person in the exercise of his powers under subsection (2) or (3) of section 99 of this Act or fails to comply with any requirement made by an authorised person under subsection (1) of that section, it appears to an authorised person that, in relation to a UK vehicle or its driver, there has been a contravention of any of the provisions of— sections 96 to 98 of this Act and any orders or regulations under those sections, or the applicable Community rules, or that there will be such a contravention if the vehicle is driven on a road, or it appears to an authorised person that an offence under section 99(5) of this Act has been committed in respect of a UK vehicle or its driver, the authorised person may prohibit the driving of the vehicle on a road either for a specified period or without limitation of time. Where an authorised person prohibits the driving of a vehicle under this section, he may also direct the driver to remove the vehicle (and, if it is a motor vehicle drawing a trailer, also to remove the trailer) to such place and subject to such conditions as are specified in the direction; and the prohibition shall not apply to the removal of the vehicle in accordance with that direction. On imposing a prohibition under subsection (1) of this section, the authorised person shall give notice in writing of the prohibition to the driver of the vehicle, specifying the circumstances (as mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of that subsection) in consequence of which the prohibition is imposed and stating whether it is imposed only for a specified period (and if so specifying the period) or without limitation of time. Any direction under subsection (2) of this section may be given— in the notice under subsection (3) of this section, or in a separate notice in writing given to the driver of the vehicle. “authorised person” means— an examiner appointed by the Secretary of State under section 66A of the Road Traffic Act 1988, or a constable authorised to act for the purposes of this section by or on behalf of a chief officer of police; “UK vehicle” means a vehicle registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. Subject to any exemption granted under subsection (2) of this section, a prohibition under subsection (1) of section 99A of this Act shall come into force as soon as notice of it has been given in accordance with subsection (3) of that section and shall continue in force— until it is removed under subsection (3) of this section, or in the case of a prohibition imposed for a specified period, until it is removed under that subsection or that period expires, whichever first occurs. Where notice of a prohibition has been given under section 99A(3) of this Act in respect of a vehicle, an exemption in writing for the use of the vehicle in such manner, subject to such conditions and for such purposes as may be specified in the exemption may be granted by any authorised person. A prohibition under section 99A(1) of this Act may be removed by any authorised person, if he is satisfied that appropriate action has been taken to remove or remedy the circumstances (as mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of section 99A(1) of this Act) in consequence of which the prohibition was imposed; and on doing so the authorised person shall give notice in writing of the removal of the prohibition to the driver of the vehicle. In this section, “authorised person” has the same meaning as in section 99A of this Act. Any person who— drives a vehicle on a road in contravention of a prohibition imposed under section 99A(1) of this Act, causes or permits a vehicle to be driven on a road in contravention of such a prohibition, or refuses or fails to comply within a reasonable time with a direction given under section 99A(2) of this Act, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. Section 189 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (appeals against decisions of Transport for London about London service permits) is amended as follows. In subsections (2) and (4) (appeals to be made to Mayor), for “appeal to the Mayor” substitute “ make an appeal ”. For subsections (11) to (13) (power of panel to report to Mayor who may issue appropriate guidance or directions to Transport for London) substitute— An appeal panel which has heard an appeal against a decision may— substitute for the decision such other decision which Transport for London had power to make as appears to the appeal panel to be appropriate. An appeal panel which has heard an appeal may make an order about payment of the costs of the appeal; and such an order may require that Transport for London pay to the person who made the appeal a sum equal to the whole or part of any fee paid in accordance with regulations under subsection (7) above. In section 420(7) of that Act (regulations subject to negative Parliamentary procedure), after the entry relating to any provision contained in Chapters I to IV or VI of Part III, insert— section 189; A local traffic authority may designate any road for which they are the traffic authority as a quiet lane or a home zone. The appropriate national authority may make regulations authorising local traffic authorities who have designated roads as quiet lanes or home zones to make use orders and speed orders of such descriptions as are prescribed by the regulations in relation to any roads designated by them as quiet lanes or home zones. A use order is an order permitting the use of a road for purposes other than passage. But a use order may not permit any person— wilfully to obstruct the lawful use of a road by others, or to use a road in a way which would deny reasonable access to premises situated on or adjacent to the road. A speed order is an order authorising the local traffic authority by whom it is made to take measures with a view to reducing the speed of motor vehicles or cycles (or both) on a road to below that specified in the order. The appropriate national authority may make regulations specifying procedures for the making, variation and revocation of— designations, and use orders and speed orders, including procedures for confirmation (whether by the appropriate national authority or any other body). The appropriate national authority may give guidance to local traffic authorities about matters to which they must have regard in determining whether or not to designate a road as a quiet lane or home zone. the Secretary of State as respects England, and the National Assembly for Wales as respects Wales, “cycle” has the same meaning as in the Road Traffic Act 1988, “motor vehicle” means a mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted for use on roads, and “road” has the same meaning as in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Regulations under this section shall be made by statutory instrument and may make different provision for different cases or areas. A statutory instrument containing regulations made by the Secretary of State under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 is amended as follows. In section 26 (arrangements for patrolling places where children cross roads during certain periods)— in subsection (1), omit “during periods between the hours of eight in the morning and half-past five in the afternoon when children are so on their way,”, and after that subsection insert— Arrangements under subsection (1) above may be made for patrolling places at such times as the authority thinks fit. In section 28 (power to stop vehicles at school crossings)— in subsection (1)— omit “between the hours of eight in the morning and half-past five in the afternoon”, and for “children on their way to or from school, or from one part of a school to another, are” substitute “ a person is ”, in subsection (2)— for “children are” substitute “ person is ”, and for “their” substitute “ his ”, and in subsection (5)— insert “ and ” at the end of paragraph (a), and omit paragraph (c) and the word “and” before it. In section 63 (power of authorities to provide stands and racks for bicycles), for “and racks for bicycles” substitute “ or racks for, or devices for securing, bicycles or motor cycles ”. In section 136(4) (meaning of “motor cycle”), for “section 57” substitue “ sections 57 and 63 ”. The Secretary of State may make grants or other payments for the purpose of securing or encouraging the carriage of goods by inland waterway or by sea rather than by road where he is satisfied that that is in the public interest. Grants or payments under this section may in particular be made in respect of facilities for or in connection with the carriage of goods by inland waterway or by sea (including facilities for loading or unloading goods). Grants or payments under this section shall be of such amount and subject to such conditions (including conditions requiring their repayment in specified circumstances) as the Secretary of State may determine. So far as it relates to inland waterways that are wholly in Wales, the power conferred by this section is a power of the Welsh Ministers. So far as it relates to— the carriage of goods by an inland waterway that is partly in Wales, or the carriage of goods by sea where the carriage concerned is wholly or partly by sea adjacent to Wales, the power conferred by this section may be exercised concurrently or jointly by the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers. The power conferred by this section may only be exercised in or as regards Scotland if its exercise relates to reserved matters within the meaning of the Scotland Act 1998. "inland waterway” includes both a natural and an artificial inland waterway; "sea adjacent to Wales” means the sea adjacent to Wales out as far as the seaward boundary of the territorial sea. An order under section 158(3) of the Government of Wales Act 2006 determining, or making provision for determining, any boundary between waters which are to be treated as parts of the sea adjacent to Wales and those which are not applies for the purposes of the definition of ““sea adjacent to Wales”” in this section as it applies for the purposes of the definition of ““Wales”” in that Act. If an offence under this Act is committed by a body corporate and is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to neglect on the part of— a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body, or a person who was purporting to act in such a capacity, he (as well as the body) commits the offence. In subsection (1) “director”, in relation to a body corporate whose affairs are managed by its members, means a member of the body. If an offence under this Act is committed by a Scottish partnership and is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of a partner, he (as well as the partnership) commits the offence. Schedule 31 contains repeals and revocations. Subject as follows, the preceding provisions of this Act come into force in accordance with provision made by the Secretary of State by order made by statutory instrument; and different provision may be made for different purposes. The power conferred by subsection (1) is exercisable as respects Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (and not the Secretary of State) in relation to Parts II and III (and the repeals relating to Part II). Section 231 (and Schedule 24), section 253 (and Schedule 28) and section 269 come into force on the day on which this Act is passed. In section 245, subsections (1) and (3) to (5), and subsections (2) and (8) so far as relating to subsections (3) to (5), shall be treated as having come into force on 10th May 2000. The Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument make any transitional provisions or savings which he considers appropriate in connection with the coming into force of any provision of this Act. The Secretary of State may, in consequence of any provision of this Act or of any instrument made under it, by order made by statutory instrument make such amendments (including repeals or revocations) as appear to him to be appropriate in— any Act (whether public general or local) passed, or any subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978) made, before that provision comes into force. The power conferred by subsection (1) is exercisable as respects Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (and not the Secretary of State) in relation to Parts II and III and any instruments made under them. No order shall be made under subsection (1) by the Secretary of State unless a draft of the order containing it has been laid before, and approved by resolution of, each House of Parliament. There shall be paid out of money provided by Parliament— any expenditure incurred by any Minister of the Crown or government department under or by virtue of this Act (apart from any expenditure to be met from the National Loans Fund), and any increase attributable to this Act in the sums payable out of money so provided under any other enactment. There shall be issued to the Secretary of State by the Treasury out of the National Loans Fund any sums required by him for— making loans under section 52 to a transferee, ... There shall be paid into the National Loans Fund any repayment of, or payment of interest on, loans— made under section 52 by the Secretary of State to a transferee, ... The assets of the National Loans Fund shall be reduced by an amount corresponding to such liability as the Secretary of State extinguishes by order under section 57. There shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund any sums received by any Minister of the Crown or government department under or by virtue of this Act (apart from any sums required to be paid into the National Loans Fund). Parts II and III, and the repeals relating to those Parts, and sections 255 and 256, 265, 267 and 268 and 270 and 271, and the repeals in Part V(2) of Schedule 31, extend only to England and Wales. Subject as follows, Part IV, sections 257 to 260 (and Schedule 29), sections 261 to 263 (and Schedule 30) and sections 264, 266 and 269, and Part V(1) of Schedule 31, extend only to England and Wales and Scotland. The amendments made by Parts I and IV, and the repeals and revocations relating to those Parts, have the same extent as the enactments to which they relate (except where it is otherwise provided). Sections 247 and 250, paragraph 14 of Schedule 14 and Schedule 26 extend to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This Act may be cited as the Transport Act 2000. An application to the CMA for permission to appeal under section 19A may not be made after the end of the period of six weeks beginning with the day on which the CAA published the decision notice. In this Schedule “the decision notice” means the notice published under section 11A of the decision that is the subject of the application for permission to appeal under section 19A. The applicant must send a copy of the application to the CAA. publish the application; send a copy of the application to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (5) (other than the applicant). the holder of the licence that is the subject of the application; any other person with a qualifying interest in the decision that is the subject of the application; any owners or operators of aircraft that the CAA considers appropriate; any owners or managers of prescribed aerodromes that the CAA considers appropriate. The decision of the CMA on an application for permission to appeal is to be taken by an authorised member of the CMA. The authorised member must take the decision before the end of the period of ten weeks beginning with the day on which the CAA published the decision notice. The authorised member may grant permission to appeal subject to conditions. The conditions may, in particular, include— conditions which limit the matters that are to be considered on the appeal; conditions for the purpose of expediting the determination of the appeal; conditions requiring the appeal to be considered together with other appeals, including appeals relating to different matters or decisions and appeals brought by different persons. An authorised member of the CMA who grants permission to appeal against a decision that relates entirely or partly to a matter remitted to the CAA following an earlier appeal under section 19A must grant permission subject to conditions excluding the consideration of— matters that were considered as part of the earlier appeal, and matters that could have been raised by the applicant or a relevant connected person as part of the earlier appeal, unless the member considers that there are compelling reasons not to do so. In sub-paragraph (5) “relevant connected person”, in relation to an applicant, means a person who was connected to the applicant at any time during the consideration of the earlier appeal by the CMA. An authorised member of the CMA must— publish the decision on an application for permission to appeal and the reasons for the decision; send a copy of the decision and the reasons to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (8). if the application was made by someone other than the licence holder, the applicant; any owners or operators of aircraft that the authorised member considers appropriate; any owners or managers of prescribed aerodromes that the authorised member considers appropriate; An authorised member of the CMA may exclude from publication under sub-paragraph (7) any information that the member is satisfied is— commercial information the disclosure of which would or might, in the opinion of the member, significantly harm the legitimate business interests of an undertaking to which it relates, or information relating to the private affairs of an individual the disclosure of which would or might, in the opinion of the member, significantly harm the individual's interests. This paragraph applies where the CAA wishes to make representations to the CMA in relation to an application under paragraph 1 for permission to appeal against a decision. The CAA must make representations in writing before the end of the period of eight weeks beginning with the day on which the CAA published the decision notice. The CAA must send a copy of its representations to— Where an application is made under paragraph 1 for permission to appeal against a decision, an application for permission to intervene in the appeal may be made to the CMA by another person who would be entitled to appeal against the decision. An application for permission to intervene— may be made before the end of the period of one week beginning with the day of publication of the CMA's decision to grant permission to appeal against the decision; may be made after the end of that period only with the leave of an authorised member of the CMA. any other person with a qualifying interest in the decision that is the subject of the appeal; The decision of the CMA on an application for permission to intervene is to be taken by an authorised member of the CMA. An authorised member of the CMA may grant permission to intervene in an appeal only if the member is satisfied that allowing the applicant to intervene is necessary or desirable for the proper resolution of the appeal. The authorised member— may grant permission to intervene for the purposes of supporting or opposing an appeal; must make any permission to intervene for the purpose of supporting an appeal subject to conditions preventing the intervener from putting forward new grounds of appeal; may make permission to intervene subject to other conditions, including conditions which limit the matters that may be raised by the intervener. publish the decision on an application for permission to intervene and the reasons for the decision; send a copy of the decision and reasons to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (5).

An application for a direction may be made at any time before the determination of the appeal. This paragraph applies if— an application is made under paragraph 6 for a direction suspending the effect of a decision under section 11(1) to modify a licence condition, the application is made before the end of the period of six weeks beginning with the day on which the CAA published the decision notice, and the modification would have effect, but for this paragraph, before the end of the period of ten weeks beginning with that day (“the ten-week period”). The modification does not have effect during the ten-week period. The decision of the CMA on the application under paragraph 6 must be taken before the end of the ten-week period. The functions of the CMA in relation to an application under paragraph 6 for a direction are to be carried out by an authorised member of the CMA. An authorised member of the CMA may give a direction suspending the effect of a decision under section 11(1) to include a condition in a licence only if— the applicant for the direction would incur significant costs if the licence condition were to have effect from the date specified in the decision, and the balance of convenience does not otherwise require the licence condition to have effect from that date. If the authorised member gives a direction suspending the effect of the decision, the licence condition does not have effect or ceases to have effect— to the extent specified in the direction, and for the period specified or described in the direction. An authorised member of the CMA may by notice vary or withdraw a direction under this paragraph if the authorised member considers it appropriate to do so having regard to the costs and the balance of convenience referred to in sub-paragraph (2).

publish a decision on an application under paragraph 6 for a direction and the reasons for the decision; send a copy of the decision and reasons to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (4).

In a case to which paragraph 7 applies, the CAA must make the representations in writing before the end of the period of eight weeks beginning with the day on which the CAA published the decision notice. In any other case— an authorised member of the CMA must specify a reasonable period for making representations; the CAA must make the representations in writing before the end of that period. In all cases, the CAA must send a copy of its representations to— A group constituted by the chair of the CMA, under Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, for the purpose of carrying out functions of the CMA with respect to an appeal under section 19A must consist of three members of the CMA panel. A decision of the group is effective only if— all of the members are present when it is made, and at least two members of the group are in favour of the decision. This paragraph applies where an application for permission has been granted and the CAA makes representations to the CMA for the purposes of the appeal under section 19A. The CMA may disregard matters raised by the CAA if it thinks it necessary to do so for the purpose of securing that an appeal under section 19A is determined within the period allowed under section 19D, unless they are matters contained in representations made to the CMA— in accordance with paragraph 10, or before the end of the period of 12 weeks beginning with the day on which the decision notice was published. The CMA may disregard matters raised by the appellant if it thinks it necessary to do so for the purpose of securing that an appeal under section 19A is determined within the period allowed under section 19D, unless the matters were raised by the appellant— at the time of the application under paragraph 1 for permission to appeal, or in an application under paragraph 6 for a direction. The CMA may disregard matters raised by an intervener if it thinks it necessary to do so for the purpose of securing that an appeal under section 19A is determined within the period allowed under section 19D, unless the matters were raised by the intervener— at the time of the application for permission to intervene under paragraph 4, or This paragraph applies where the CMA decides to remit a matter that is the subject of an appeal under section 19A to the CAA for reconsideration and decision.

This paragraph applies where the CMA decides to substitute its own decision for a decision of the CAA that is the subject of an appeal under section 19A. The decision of the CMA has effect as if made by the CAA except that— section 11A(5) does not apply; an appeal may not be brought against it under section 19A. Any modification of a licence effected by the CMA takes effect from the date specified by the CMA. The CMA may, with the agreement of the licence holder, specify a date falling— before the date on which the order containing its decision is published, but This paragraph applies to— an authorised member of the CMA with the function of determining an application for permission to appeal under section 19A; a group with the function of determining an appeal under that section. The member or group must not have regard to any matter, information or evidence raised or provided by the CAA if it was not considered by the CAA in making the decision that is the subject of the application or the appeal, unless the member or group considers that— the CAA could not reasonably have been expected to consider the matter, information or evidence when making that decision, and the matter, information or evidence is likely to have an important effect on the outcome of the application or appeal, either by itself or taken together with other matters, information or evidence. The member or group must not have regard to any matter, information or evidence raised or provided by a person other than the CAA if it was not considered by the CAA in making the decision that is the subject of the application or appeal, unless the member or group considers that— the person or a relevant connected person could not reasonably have raised the matter with the CAA, or provided the information or evidence to the CAA, during the period in which the CAA was making that decision, and Where the member or group has regard to any matter, information or evidence in reliance on sub-paragraph (2) or (3), those sub-paragraphs do not prevent the member or group having regard to further matters, information or evidence raised or provided in response to it if the member or group considers that the further matter, information or evidence is likely to have an important effect on the outcome of the application or appeal, either by itself or taken together with other matters, information or evidence. In sub-paragraph (3) “relevant connected person”, in relation to a person who raises or provides a matter, information or evidence, means a person who was connected to that person at any time during the period in which the CAA was making the decision that is the subject of the application or appeal. References in this paragraph to the period in which the CAA was making a decision are to the period— beginning with the publication of a notice under section 11A(1) proposing to make the modification, and ending with the publication of a notice under section 11A(5) in relation to that modification. The CMA may by notice require a person to produce to it documents specified or described in the notice that are in the person's custody or under the person's control. In this paragraph “document” means anything in which information is recorded. The notice may require the production of documents— at a time and place specified in the notice; in a form and manner specified in the notice. The notice may not require a person to produce documents that the person could not be compelled to provide in evidence in civil proceedings before the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. A notice under this paragraph may be given on behalf of the CMA by an authorised member of the CMA. For the purposes of this Schedule the following persons may hold an oral hearing and take evidence on oath— an authorised member of the CMA considering an application under paragraph 1 for permission to appeal; an authorised member of the CMA considering an application under paragraph 4 for permission to intervene; an authorised member of the CMA considering an application under paragraph 6 for a direction; a group with the function of determining an appeal under section 19A. In the course of holding such a hearing and taking such evidence, a person or group described in sub-paragraph (1) may administer oaths. An authorised member of the CMA may by notice require a person— to attend at a time and place specified in the notice, and at that time and place, to give evidence to a member or group described in sub-paragraph (1). At an oral hearing, the member or group conducting the hearing may require the following persons to give evidence or to make representations— the applicant, the appellant or any intervener (if present); a person attending a hearing as a representative of the applicant, the appellant, an intervener or the CAA. Subject to sub-paragraph (6), a person who gives oral evidence at the hearing may be cross-examined by or on behalf of— the appellant; an intervener; Such a person may be cross-examined by or on behalf of an intervener only with the leave of the member or group conducting the hearing. If the applicant, the appellant, an intervener or a representative of any such person or the CAA is not present at a hearing— there is no requirement to give notice to that person under sub-paragraph (3); the member or group conducting the hearing may determine the application or appeal without hearing that person's evidence or representations. A person may not be required under this paragraph to give evidence that the person could not be compelled to give in civil proceedings before the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. Where a person is required under this paragraph to attend at a place more than 16 kilometres from the person's place of residence, an authorised member of the CMA must arrange for the person to be paid the necessary expenses of attendance. The CMA may by notice require a person to produce a written statement with respect to a matter specified in the notice— to an authorised member of the CMA considering an application under paragraph 1 for permission to appeal; to an authorised member of the CMA considering an application under paragraph 4 for permission to intervene; to an authorised member of the CMA considering an application under paragraph 6 for a direction; to a group with the function of determining an appeal under section 19A. The notice may require the written statement— to be produced at the time and place specified in the notice; to be verified by a statement of truth. Where a notice requires a written statement to be verified by a statement of truth, the written statement may be disregarded unless it is so verified. A person may not be required under this paragraph to produce a written statement about a matter if the person could not be compelled to give evidence about that matter in civil proceedings before the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. Where permission to appeal is granted under paragraph 2, the CMA may commission expert advice with respect to any matter raised by— the appellant, an intervener, or This paragraph applies where a person— fails to comply with a notice under paragraph 17, 18 or 19, fails to comply with any other requirement imposed under paragraph 17, 18 or 19, in complying with a notice under paragraph 19, makes a statement that is false or misleading in a material respect, or in providing information verified by a statement of truth required by appeal rules under paragraph 23, provides information that is false or misleading in a material respect. An authorised member of the CMA may certify to the appropriate court— the failure, the fact that the person has made a false or misleading statement in circumstances described in sub-paragraph (1)(c), or the fact that the person has provided false or misleading information in circumstances described in sub-paragraph (1)(d). The appropriate court may inquire into a certified failure or act and, if it does so, must hear— any witness against the person; any witness on behalf of the person; any statement in the person's defence. The appropriate court may punish the person as if the person had been guilty of contempt of court if it is satisfied that— the certified failure or act took place, and the person did not have a reasonable excuse for the failure or act. Where the person is a body corporate, the appropriate court may punish any director or other officer of that body, either instead or as well as punishing the body. In this paragraph— “the appropriate court”— in relation to England and Wales and Northern Ireland, means the High Court; in relation to Scotland, means the Court of Session; “director”, in relation to a body corporate whose affairs are managed by its members, means a member of the body. An application under paragraph 1 for permission to appeal may be withdrawn only with the consent of the CMA. After an application for permission to appeal is granted, the appeal may be withdrawn only with the consent of the CMA. An application under paragraph 4 for permission to intervene may be withdrawn only with the consent of the CMA. After an application for permission to intervene is granted, the intervener may withdraw from the appeal only with the consent of the CMA. For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) to (4), the consent of the CMA may be given by an authorised member of the CMA. Where the CMA has consented, the person wishing to withdraw the application or appeal, or withdraw as an intervener, may give notice of withdrawal to the CMA. An application under paragraph 6 for a direction suspending the effect of a decision may be withdrawn at any time by giving notice of withdrawal to the CMA. Withdrawal of an application under this Schedule or of an appeal, or as an intervener in an appeal, has effect when the notice of withdrawal is given to the CMA. A person giving notice of withdrawal to the CMA must send a copy of the notice to the CAA. publish the notice; send a copy of it to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (11) (other than the person who gave the notice). the holder of the licence that is the subject of the application or appeal; The CMA Board may make rules regulating the conduct and disposal of appeals. The rules may include provision supplementing the provisions of this Schedule in relation to any application, notice, hearing or requirement for which this Schedule provides. The rules may, in particular, include— provision requiring an application to be accompanied by information specified in the rules; provision requiring such information to be verified by a statement of truth; provision requiring an applicant to provide the CAA with information specified in the rules; provision imposing time limits or other restrictions on the taking of evidence at an oral hearing; provision imposing time limits or other restrictions on the making of representations or observations at such a hearing. The rules may make different provision for different purposes. Before making rules under this paragraph the CMA Board must consult any persons that it considers appropriate. The CMA Board must publish the rules made under this paragraph. Where an application under this Schedule or an appeal is withdrawn, an authorised member of the CMA may make any order that the member thinks fit requiring the parties to the application or appeal to make payments to each other and to the CMA in respect of costs incurred in connection with the application or appeal. A group that determines an appeal must make an order requiring the payment to the CMA of the costs incurred by the CMA in connection with the appeal. Subject to sub-paragraph (4), an order under sub-paragraph (2) must require those costs to be paid— where the appeal is allowed in full, by the CAA; where the appeal is dismissed in full, by the appellant; where the appeal is allowed in part, by the appellant and the CAA in such proportions as the group considers appropriate. The order may require an intervener in the appeal to pay such proportion of those costs (if any) as the group considers appropriate. A group that determines an appeal may make any order that it thinks fit requiring one party to the appeal to make payments to another in respect of costs reasonably incurred by the other party in connection with the appeal. A person who is required to make a payment by an order under this paragraph must comply with the order before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day after the making of the order. If that person does not do so, the unpaid balance carries interest at a rate specified in the order or determined in accordance with it. In this paragraph, references to an intervener in an appeal, and to a party to an appeal, include a person who was granted permission to intervene in an appeal and subsequently withdrew from the appeal. The Secretary of State may by regulations modify any period of time specified in this Schedule. Where the CAA, the CMA or an authorised member of the CMA is required by this Schedule to publish something or send a copy of something and this Schedule does not specify a time for doing so, it must be published or sent as soon as practicable. In this Schedule— “appeal” means an appeal under section 19A; “authorised member of the CMA” has the meaning given in sub-paragraph (2); “CMA Board” and “CMA panel” have the same meaning as in Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013; “intervener”, in relation to an appeal, means a person who has been granted permission to intervene in the appeal and who has not withdrawn from the appeal; “prescribed aerodrome” has the meaning given in section 19A(3); “statement of truth”, in relation to the production of a statement or in relation to information provided by a person, means a statement that the person producing that statement or providing that information believes the facts contained in the statement or the information to be true. In this Schedule “authorised member of the CMA”— in relation to a power exercisable in connection with an appeal, application or direction in respect of which a group has been constituted by the chair of the CMA under Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, means a member of that group who has been authorised by the chair of the CMA to exercise that power; and in relation to a power exercisable in connection with an appeal, application or direction in respect of which a group has not been so constituted by the chair of the CMA, means— any member of the CMA Board who is also a member of the CMA panel, or any member of the CMA panel authorised by the Secretary of State (whether generally or specifically) to exercise the power in question. For the purposes of this Schedule and sections 19D and 19E, a person has a qualifying interest in a decision that is the subject of an appeal or an application under this Schedule if— the person has been granted permission to appeal against the decision and has not withdrawn the appeal, the person has applied for permission to appeal against the decision and the application has not been withdrawn or refused, the person has been granted permission to intervene in an appeal against the decision and the appeal has not been withdrawn, the person has applied for permission to intervene in an appeal against the decision and the application has not been withdrawn or refused, or the person has applied for a direction under paragraph 6, the application has not been withdrawn or refused and any direction made in response to the application has not been withdrawn. The CAA may give a notice under this paragraph (a “contravention notice”) to a licence holder if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the licence holder is contravening, or has contravened, a Chapter 1 requirement. In this Schedule “Chapter 1 requirement”, in relation to a licence holder, means— a duty imposed on the licence holder by section 8, or a licence condition of the licence holder's licence. A contravention notice must— specify the Chapter 1 requirement and contravention in respect of which it is given; explain the action that the CAA may take under this Schedule in connection with the contravention; explain that representations may be made about the matters in the notice before the end of the period specified in the notice. The CAA must specify a period of not less than 30 days beginning with the day on which the contravention notice is given, subject to sub-paragraph (5). The CAA may specify a shorter period in a contravention notice given in respect of a repeated contravention. A contravention notice is given to a licence holder in respect of a repeated contravention if, in the period of two years ending with the day on which the notice is given, the CAA did one or more of the following in respect of a contravention by the licence holder of the same Chapter 1 requirement— gave the licence holder a contravention notice; gave the licence holder an enforcement order; gave the licence holder an urgent enforcement order; imposed a penalty on the licence holder under paragraph 9 or 10. The CAA may extend the period specified in a contravention notice given to a licence holder on one or more occasions by giving a notice to that licence holder. The CAA may withdraw a contravention notice given to a licence holder at any time by giving a notice to the licence holder that includes its reasons for doing so. As soon as practicable after giving a notice under sub-paragraph (1), (7) or (8), the CAA must— send a copy of the notice to— A contravention notice given in respect of a contravention that is or was a continuing contravention must specify the period of contravention in respect of which it is given. In this Schedule “representation period”, in relation to a contravention notice, means— the period specified in the contravention notice for making representations; where the period has been extended in accordance with sub-paragraph (7), the extended period. If the CAA gives a licence holder a contravention notice or an urgent enforcement order (see paragraph 5) in respect of a contravention, it may not subsequently give the licence holder a contravention notice in respect of the same contravention. Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply if— the CAA withdraws the first contravention notice without imposing a penalty on the person under paragraph 9, or the CAA revokes the urgent enforcement order without imposing a penalty on the licence holder under paragraph 10. Sub-paragraph (1) does not prevent the CAA giving a licence holder more than one contravention notice, or a contravention notice and urgent enforcement order, in respect of— contraventions of the same Chapter 1 requirement in different ways, or contraventions of the same Chapter 1 requirement at different times or during different periods. The CAA may give an order under this paragraph (an “enforcement order”) to a licence holder if— it has given the licence holder a contravention notice (and has not withdrawn it), the representation period has ended, it has considered any representations made about the matters in the contravention notice before the end of that period (and not withdrawn), and sub-paragraph (2) or (3) is satisfied. This sub-paragraph is satisfied if the CAA has determined that the licence holder is contravening a Chapter 1 requirement specified in the contravention notice in one or more of the ways specified in the notice. This sub-paragraph is satisfied if the CAA has determined that the licence holder— has contravened a Chapter 1 requirement specified in the contravention notice in one or more of the ways specified in the notice, and did not, before the end of the representation period, take all of the appropriate steps mentioned in sub-paragraph (6)(b). An enforcement order must— require the licence holder to take any appropriate steps that are specified in the order; specify a reasonable period within which the steps must be taken; give the CAA's reasons for giving the order. As soon as practicable after giving an enforcement order, the CAA must— publish the order; send a copy of the order to— In this paragraph “appropriate steps”, in relation to a contravention of a Chapter 1 requirement, means steps that the CAA has determined are appropriate— for complying with the requirement, and for remedying the consequences of the contravention. The CAA may— modify an enforcement order with the agreement of the licence holder to whom it was given, or revoke an enforcement order. Before modifying or revoking the order, the CAA must— publish a notice in relation to the proposed modification or revocation; send a copy of the notice to the licence holder to whom the order was given; consider any representations made about the proposal in the period specified in the notice (and not withdrawn). The notice under sub-paragraph (2) must— state that the CAA proposes to modify or revoke the order; specify the proposed modification (if relevant); give the CAA's reasons for the modification or revocation; As soon as practicable after modifying or revoking an enforcement order, the CAA must— publish a notice giving details of the modification or revocation; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (5). the licence holder to whom the enforcement order was given; The CAA may give an order under this paragraph (an “urgent enforcement order”) to a licence holder if sub-paragraph (2) or (3) is satisfied. This sub-paragraph is satisfied if the CAA has reasonable grounds for believing that— the licence holder is contravening, or has contravened, a Chapter 1 requirement, the contravention has resulted in, or creates an immediate risk of, a serious economic or operational problem— for owners or operators of aircraft, or for owners or managers of aerodromes, and it is appropriate to give an urgent enforcement order to prevent, remove or reduce that problem or risk. the licence holder is likely to contravene a Chapter 1 requirement, the contravention is likely to result in, or create an immediate risk of, a problem described in sub-paragraph (2)(b), and it is appropriate to give the urgent enforcement order to prevent, or reduce the likelihood of, that problem or risk arising. An urgent enforcement order must— specify the Chapter 1 requirement and the contravention in respect of which it is given; As soon as practicable after giving an urgent enforcement order, the CAA must— In this paragraph “appropriate steps”— in relation to a contravention of a Chapter 1 requirement that has occurred or is occurring, means steps that the CAA has determined are appropriate— for remedying the consequences of the contravention; in relation to a contravention of a Chapter 1 requirement that is likely to occur, means steps that the CAA has determined are appropriate for securing that the contravention does not occur. confirm the order, or revoke the order (see paragraph 7). The CAA may confirm an urgent enforcement order with or without modifications. The CAA may confirm an urgent enforcement order given in reliance on paragraph 5(2) only if it has determined that— the licence holder is contravening, or has contravened, a Chapter 1 requirement specified in the order in one or more of the ways specified in the order, the contravention has resulted in, or creates an immediate risk of, a problem described in paragraph 5(2)(b), and it is appropriate to confirm the urgent enforcement order, with any modifications, to prevent, remove or reduce that problem or risk. The CAA may confirm an urgent enforcement order given in reliance on paragraph 5(3) only if— it has determined that paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph are satisfied, or it has determined that— the licence holder is likely to contravene a Chapter 1 requirement specified in the order in one or more of the ways specified in the order, the contravention is likely to result in, or create an immediate risk of, a problem described in paragraph 5(2)(b), and it is appropriate to confirm the urgent enforcement order, with any modifications, in order to prevent, or reduce the likelihood of, that problem or risk arising. Before confirming an urgent enforcement order, the CAA must— publish a notice in relation to the proposal to confirm the order; The notice under sub-paragraph (5) must— state that the CAA proposes to confirm the order; specify any proposed modifications of the order; give the CAA's reasons for confirming the order and for any modifications; As soon as practicable after confirming an urgent enforcement order, the CAA must— publish a notice giving details of the confirmation, including any modifications of the order; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (8). the licence holder to whom the urgent enforcement order was given; modify an urgent enforcement order with the agreement of the licence holder to whom it was given, or revoke an urgent enforcement order. send a copy of the notice to the licence holder; As soon as practicable after modifying or revoking an urgent enforcement order, the CAA must— Nothing in this paragraph restricts, or applies in relation to the exercise of, the CAA's power under paragraph 6 to modify an urgent enforcement order when confirming the order. A licence holder who is given an enforcement order must comply with it (unless it is revoked). The obligation to comply with an enforcement order is a duty owed to every person who may be affected by a contravention of a requirement of the order. A licence holder who is given an urgent enforcement order must comply with it, whether or not it has been confirmed (unless it is revoked). The obligation to comply with an urgent enforcement order that has been confirmed is a duty owed to every person who may be affected by a contravention of a requirement of the order. Where a duty is owed to a person under sub-paragraph (2) or (4), the following are actionable by the person— a breach of the duty that causes the person to sustain loss or damage; an act that— by inducing a breach of the duty or interfering with its performance, causes that person to sustain loss or damage, and is done entirely or partly for achieving that result. In proceedings brought against a licence holder by virtue of sub-paragraph (5), it is a defence for the licence holder to show that it took all reasonable steps and exercised all due diligence to avoid contravening the requirements of the order. The CAA may enforce the duties under sub-paragraphs (1) and (3)— in civil proceedings for an injunction, in civil proceedings in Scotland for an interdict or for specific performance of a statutory duty under section 45 of the Court of Session Act 1988, or in civil proceedings for any other appropriate remedy or relief. Enforcement of a duty under sub-paragraph (1) or (3) by the CAA does not prejudice any rights a person may have by virtue of sub-paragraph (5). The CAA may impose a penalty on a licence holder if— it has determined that the licence holder is contravening, or has contravened, a Chapter 1 requirement specified in the notice in one or more of the ways specified in the notice. If the contravention notice specifies more than one contravention, the CAA may impose a separate penalty under this paragraph for each contravention. If the contravention notice specifies more than one period of contravention, the CAA may impose a separate penalty under this paragraph for each period. The CAA may impose a penalty on a licence holder if it has determined that the licence holder is contravening, or has contravened, a requirement of— an enforcement order, or an urgent enforcement order that has been confirmed. Before imposing a penalty on a licence holder under paragraph 9 or 10 the CAA must— give the licence holder a notice about the proposed penalty; publish the notice as soon as practicable; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (3); consider any representations made about the proposed penalty in the period specified in the notice (and not withdrawn). A notice under sub-paragraph (1) must— state that the CAA proposes to impose a penalty; state the proposed amount of the penalty; specify the requirement that the CAA has determined is being or has been contravened; specify the act or omission that the CAA has determined constitutes a contravention of the requirement; where the penalty would be imposed under paragraph 10, specify the Chapter 1 requirement in respect of which the enforcement order or urgent enforcement order (as the case may be) was given. In the case of a penalty calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount (see paragraph 13(2)), a notice must specify— the day on which daily amounts would begin to accumulate; the day on which, or the circumstances in which, they would cease to accumulate. The period specified in a notice under sub-paragraph (1) for making representations must be a period of not less than 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to the licence holder. Before varying the proposed amount of a penalty, the CAA must— give the licence holder on whom the penalty is to be imposed a notice about the proposed variation; consider any representations made about the proposed variation in the period specified in the notice (and not withdrawn). In the case of a penalty calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount (see paragraph 13(2)), the reference in sub-paragraph (6) to varying the proposed amount includes— varying the day on which daily amounts would begin to accumulate; varying the day on which, or the circumstances in which, they would cease to accumulate. The notice under sub-paragraph (6) must— specify the proposed variation; give the CAA's reasons for the proposed variation. The period specified in a notice under sub-paragraph (6) for making representations must be a period of not less than 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to the licence holder. The CAA may withdraw a notice under sub-paragraph (1) or (6) at any time by giving notice to the licence holder on whom it proposed to impose the penalty. As soon as practicable after giving a notice under sub-paragraph (10), the CAA must— send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (3). As soon as practicable after imposing a penalty under paragraph 9 or 10 the CAA must— give a notice to the licence holder on whom the penalty is imposed; state that the CAA has imposed a penalty; state the amount of the penalty; where the penalty is imposed under paragraph 10, specify the Chapter 1 requirement in respect of which the enforcement order or urgent enforcement order (as the case may be) was given; specify a reasonable period within which the penalty must be paid or reasonable periods within which different portions of the penalty must be paid. In the case of a penalty calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount (see paragraph 13(2)), the notice must specify— the day on which the daily amounts begin to accumulate; the day on which, or the circumstances in which, they cease to accumulate. As soon as practicable after daily amounts cease to accumulate, the CAA must— give a notice to the licence holder on whom the penalty was imposed confirming the day on which they ceased to accumulate; The amount of a penalty imposed on a person under paragraph 9 or 10 must be the amount that the CAA determines to be— appropriate, and proportionate to the contravention for which it is imposed. The penalty may consist of either or both of the following— a fixed amount (see paragraph 14); a daily amount (see paragraph 15). In determining the amount of a penalty, the CAA must have regard, in particular, to— any representations made to it in a period specified in a notice proposing to give a penalty under paragraph 11(1) or (6) (and not withdrawn); any steps taken by the licence holder on whom the penalty is to be imposed towards complying with— the requirement specified in the notice under paragraph 11(1) by virtue of paragraph 11(2)(c), and where the penalty is to be imposed under paragraph 10, the Chapter 1 requirement specified in the notice under paragraph 11(1) by virtue of paragraph 11(2)(e); any steps taken by that licence holder towards remedying the consequences of the contravention of the requirement mentioned in paragraph (b)(i) and, where relevant, paragraph (b)(ii). A penalty imposed on a licence holder under paragraph 9 or 10 for a contravention may not consist of or include a fixed amount exceeding 10% of the licence holder's qualifying turnover for the qualifying period. A licence holder's qualifying turnover is the licence holder's turnover from its provision of air traffic services. The qualifying period is the last regulatory year ending on or before the day on which the notice proposing the penalty is given under paragraph 11(1) (“the notice day”), except in the cases described in sub-paragraph (4). Those cases are— where a licence holder was not authorised to provide air traffic services in respect of a managed area throughout the last regulatory year that ends on or before the notice day; where there is no regulatory year or the last regulatory year ended more than 12 months before the notice day; where a licence holder has not provided the CAA with accounts prepared in accordance with the licence for the last regulatory year that ends on or before the notice day. In those cases— if the licence holder was authorised to provide air traffic services in respect of a managed area on the notice day, the qualifying period is the year ending with the notice day (or, if shorter, the period ending with the notice day during which the licence holder was authorised to provide such services in respect of such an area); otherwise, the qualifying period is the year ending with the last day before the notice day on which the licence holder was authorised to provide air traffic services in respect of a managed area (or, if shorter, the period ending with the last day before the notice day during which the licence holder was authorised to provide such services in respect of such an area). A licence holder's qualifying turnover for a qualifying period is to be taken to be the qualifying turnover for that period as reported in accounts that the licence holder is required to prepare by a licence condition, unless regulations under sub-paragraph (7) provide otherwise. amend or otherwise modify the definition of qualifying turnover; make provision about how a licence holder's qualifying turnover for a qualifying period is to be calculated. make provision about cases in which turnover is or is not to be treated as qualifying turnover for a qualifying period; provide that a licence holder's qualifying turnover for a qualifying period is to be taken to be the qualifying turnover reported in accounts specified or described in the regulations; provide that a licence holder's qualifying turnover is to be calculated entirely or partly using accounting rules specified or described in the regulations. In this paragraph “regulatory year”, in relation to a licence holder, means a year for which the licence holder was required to prepare accounts by a licence condition for air traffic services provided in respect of a managed area. In relation to a penalty under paragraph 9 or 10, a daily amount is an amount payable where the contravention in respect of which the penalty is imposed continues after it is imposed. A penalty under paragraph 9 may not consist of or include a daily amount unless that contravention has been continuous since the end of the representation period for the contravention notice in which the contravention was specified. A daily amount must not exceed 0.1% of the licence holder's qualifying turnover for the qualifying period. A daily amount is payable in respect of each day in a period specified by the CAA in the notice under paragraph 12 stating that it has imposed the penalty. A specified period during which daily amounts accumulate must be the period that the CAA considers appropriate, subject to sub-paragraphs (6) and (7). The period must begin after the day on which the CAA gives the notice under paragraph 12. The period must end before— the day on which the contravention specified in the notice under paragraph 12 ceases, or if more than one contravention is specified in that notice, the day on which the last of those contraventions ceases. In this paragraph “qualifying turnover” and “qualifying period” have the same meaning as in paragraph 14. Before exercising a power listed in sub-paragraph (3), the CAA must consider whether it would be more appropriate to proceed under the Competition Act 1998. The CAA must not exercise such a power to the extent that it considers it would be more appropriate to proceed under that Act. Those powers are— the power to give a contravention notice under paragraph 1; the power to give an enforcement order under paragraph 3; the power to give and confirm an urgent enforcement order under paragraphs 5 and 6; the power to impose penalties under paragraphs 9 and 10. A licence holder may appeal to the Competition Appeal Tribunal (referred to in this Schedule as “the Tribunal”) against— an enforcement order given to the licence holder, or an urgent enforcement order given to the licence holder that has been confirmed. The appeal may be against one or more of the following— the decision to give the order or, in the case of an urgent enforcement order, to confirm the order; the decision as to the steps specified in the order; the decision as to the period allowed for taking those steps. The making of an appeal under this paragraph against an enforcement order suspends the effect of the order until the appeal is decided or withdrawn, unless the Tribunal orders otherwise. The making of an appeal under this paragraph against an urgent enforcement order does not suspend the effect of the order, unless the Tribunal orders otherwise. A person may appeal to the Tribunal against— a decision to modify or revoke an enforcement order, or a decision to modify or revoke an urgent enforcement order that has been confirmed. An appeal under this paragraph may be made only by a person— who is not the person to whom the order was given, but who appears to the Tribunal to have sufficient interest in the decision. The making of an appeal under this paragraph against a modification or revocation of an order suspends the modification or revocation until the appeal is decided or withdrawn, unless the Tribunal orders otherwise. A licence holder may appeal to the Tribunal against a penalty imposed on the licence holder under paragraph 9 or 10. the decision to impose the penalty; the decision as to the amount of the penalty; in the case of a penalty calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount, the decision as to the period during which the daily amounts accumulate; the decision as to the period allowed for payment of the penalty. Where a licence holder appeals under this paragraph against a penalty, the CAA may not require the licence holder to pay the penalty until the appeal is decided or withdrawn. The Tribunal may allow an appeal under paragraph 17, 18 or 19 only to the extent that it is satisfied that the decision appealed against was wrong on one or more of the following grounds— It may— confirm or set aside the order, modification, revocation or penalty; give the CAA any directions it considers appropriate, including directions about the time within which the CAA must act. It may not direct the CAA to do anything that the CAA would not have the power to do apart from the direction. When deciding an appeal under paragraph 17, 18 or 19 (including giving directions) the Tribunal must have regard to the matters in respect of which duties are imposed on the CAA by section 2. An appeal lies to the appropriate court on a point of law arising from a decision of the Tribunal under paragraph 20, including a direction. An appeal under this paragraph may be brought by a party to the proceedings before the Tribunal. An appeal may not be brought without the permission of— the Tribunal, or the appropriate court. “The appropriate court”— in the case of an appeal from proceedings in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, means the Court of Appeal; in the case of an appeal from proceedings in Scotland, means the Court of Session. References in this Schedule to remedying the consequences of a contravention of a Chapter 1 requirement, or a requirement of an enforcement order or an urgent enforcement order, include paying an amount to a person— by way of compensation for loss or damage suffered by the person, or in respect of annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety suffered by the person. The CAA may by notice require a person to provide— information, or a document that is in the person's custody or under the person's control. In this Schedule “document” means anything in which information is recorded. The CAA may give a notice under this paragraph only in respect of information or documents that it reasonably requires for the purpose of carrying out its functions under section 34 or Schedule B1. The notice may require the information or document to be provided— The notice may not require a person to provide information or documents that the person could not be compelled to provide in evidence in civil proceedings before the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. If a person fails to comply with a notice under paragraph 1 without reasonable excuse, the CAA may do either or both of the following— impose a penalty on the person; enforce the duty to comply with the notice in civil proceedings for an injunction or, in Scotland, for specific performance of a statutory duty under section 45 of the Court of Session Act 1988. The amount of the penalty must be the amount that the CAA determines to be— proportionate to the failure in respect of which it is imposed. A penalty may consist of either or both of the following— a fixed amount; an amount payable in respect of each day in a period specified by the CAA (a “daily amount”). A fixed amount must not exceed £2,000,000. A daily amount must not exceed £100,000. A specified period during which daily amounts accumulate must be the period that the CAA considers appropriate, subject to sub-paragraphs (7) and (8). The period must begin after the day on which the CAA gives the notice under paragraph 6 stating that it has imposed the penalty. The period must end before the day on which the person provides the information or documents specified in the notice under paragraph 1. The Secretary of State may by regulations replace the amount for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (4) or (5). The CAA may impose a penalty of a fixed amount on a person where it is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the person, in giving information to the CAA, has committed an offence under section 101 (making of false statements etc). Where a penalty is imposed on a person under this paragraph by the CAA, that person may not at any time be convicted of the offence under section 101 in respect of the act or omission giving rise to the penalty. The amount of a penalty imposed on a person under this paragraph must be the amount that the CAA determines to be— proportionate to the action in respect of which it is imposed, but subject to a maximum of £2,000,000. The CAA may impose a penalty of a fixed amount on a person if the person intentionally alters, suppresses or destroys a document that the person is required to produce by a notice under paragraph 1. The reference in sub-paragraph (1) to suppressing a document includes a reference to destroying the means of reproducing information recorded otherwise than in a legible format. Before imposing a penalty on a person under paragraph 2, 3 or 4, the CAA must— give the person a notice about the proposed penalty; send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (4);

The notice under sub-paragraph (1) must— give the CAA's reasons for imposing the penalty. In the case of a penalty under paragraph 2 calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount, the notice under sub-paragraph (1) must specify— The period specified in the notice under sub-paragraph (1) for making representations must be a period of not less than 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to the person. give the person on whom the penalty is to be imposed a notice about the proposed variation; In the case of a penalty under paragraph 2 calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount, the reference in sub-paragraph (6) to varying the proposed amount of the penalty includes a reference to— varying the day on which daily amounts would begin to accumulate, and varying the day on which, or circumstances in which, they would cease to accumulate. The period specified in the notice under sub-paragraph (6) for making representations must be a period of not less than 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to the person. The CAA may withdraw a notice under sub-paragraph (1) or (6) at any time by giving notice to the person on whom it is proposed to impose the penalty. send a copy of the notice to the persons listed in sub-paragraph (4). As soon as practicable after imposing a penalty on a person under paragraph 2, 3 or 4, the CAA must— give a notice to the person on whom the penalty is imposed; state that the CAA has imposed the penalty; give the CAA's reasons for imposing the penalty; In the case of a penalty under paragraph 2 calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount, the notice must specify— the day on which, or circumstances in which, they cease to accumulate. give a notice to the person on whom the penalty was imposed confirming the day on which they ceased to accumulate; A person may appeal to the Competition Appeal Tribunal against a penalty imposed on the person under paragraph 2, 3 or 4. a decision to impose a penalty; a decision as to the amount of the penalty; in the case of a penalty calculated entirely or partly by reference to a daily amount, a decision as to the period during which daily amounts accumulate; a decision as to the period allowed for payment of the penalty. Where a person appeals under this paragraph against a penalty, the CAA may not require the person to pay the penalty until the appeal is decided or withdrawn. In any appeal where the commission of an offence under section 101 is an issue requiring determination, the CAA must prove that offence according to the same burden and standard of proof as in a criminal prosecution. The Competition Appeal Tribunal may allow an appeal under paragraph 7 only to the extent that it is satisfied that the decision appealed against was wrong on one or more of the following grounds— confirm or set aside the penalty; give the CAA any directions that it considers appropriate, including directions about the time within which the CAA must act. When deciding an appeal under paragraph 7 (including giving directions), the Competition Appeal Tribunal must have regard to the matters in respect of which duties are imposed on the CAA by section 2. An appeal lies to the appropriate court on a point of law arising from a decision of the Competition Appeal Tribunal under paragraph 8, including a direction. An appeal under this paragraph may be brought by a party to the proceedings before the Competition Appeal Tribunal. An appeal may not be brought under this paragraph without the permission of— the Competition Appeal Tribunal, or This Part of this Schedule applies if an air traffic administration order is made. Sections 11 to 23 and 27 of the 1986 Act (which relate to administration orders under Part II of that Act) apply with the modifications specified in this Part of this Schedule.

References in the 1986 Act (except in sections 8 to 10 and 24 to 26), or in any other enactment passed before the day on which this Act is passed, to an administration order under Part II of that Act, to an application for such an order and to an administrator include references (respectively) to an air traffic administration order, to an application for an air traffic administration order and to an air traffic administrator. References in the 1986 Act, or in any other enactment passed before the day on which this Act is passed, to an enactment contained in Part II of that Act include references to that enactment as applied by section 30 above or Part I of this Schedule. But— sub-paragraph (1) applies in relation to a reference in an enactment contained in Part II of the 1986 Act only so far as necessary for the purposes of the operation of the provisions of that Part as so applied; sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) apply subject to Part I of this Schedule. The provisions of this Schedule are without prejudice to the power conferred by section 411 of the 1986 Act (company insolvency rules) as modified by paragraph 13(1) and (2). In this Schedule “the 1986 Act” means the Insolvency Act 1986. For the purposes of this Schedule and any modification of the 1986 Act made by this Schedule— an air traffic administration order is an order made under section 27 or 28 above; an air traffic administrator is a person appointed by the court to achieve the purposes of an air traffic administration order; the CAA is the Civil Aviation Authority. This Schedule applies if— the court has made an air traffic administration order in relation to a licence company (the existing licence company), and it is proposed that on and after the appointed day another company (the new licence company) should carry out licensed activities in respect of all or part of a licensed area. For the purposes of this Schedule— an air traffic administration order is an order made under section 27 or 28; the court is the court which (but for section 27) would have jurisdiction to wind up the existing licence company; references to the existing licence company and the new licence company must be construed in accordance with paragraph 1; references to a licence company are to be construed in accordance with section 26; other licence companies are licence companies, other than the existing licence company and the new licence company; licensed activities are activities which the licence concerned authorises the existing licence company to carry out; a licensed area is an area in respect of which the licence concerned authorises the existing licence company to provide air traffic services; the appointed day is a day which falls before the discharge of the air traffic administration order takes effect and which is appointed by the court for the purposes of this Schedule. The existing licence company, acting with the consent of the new licence company and, in relation to the matters affecting them, of any other licence companies, may make a scheme designed to secure that the new licence company carries out licensed activities in respect of all or part of the licensed area. No scheme takes effect unless it is approved by the Secretary of State after consulting the CAA. If a scheme is submitted to the Secretary of State for approval he may modify the scheme before approving it. But no modification may be made unless the following consent— the new licence company, the existing licence company, and in relation to the matters affecting them, any other licence companies. A scheme comes into force on the appointed day. At any time after a scheme has come into force, if he thinks it appropriate the Secretary of State may by order provide that the scheme is to be taken for all purposes to have come into force with the modifications specified in the order. But the Secretary of State may not make an order under sub-paragraph (6) unless the following consent— the existing licence company, the new licence company, and in relation to the provisions of the order which affect them, any other licence companies. An order under sub-paragraph (6)— may make, with effect from the coming into force of the scheme to which it relates, any such provision as could have been made by the scheme, and in connection with giving effect to that provision from that time, may make such supplementary, consequential and transitional provision as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate. A scheme may provide for a licence held by the existing licence company to have effect, with such modifications as the scheme may specify, as if the licence had been granted to the new licence company. If different schemes are made in relation to different parts of the licensed area— each scheme has effect as if there were a separate licence in respect of each part, and each licence has effect as if it had been granted to the company which is the new licence company under the scheme concerned. A scheme may provide for the transfer of property, rights and liabilities from the existing licence company to the new licence company. In determining whether and in what manner to exercise the powers under paragraph 3 to approve and modify a scheme, the Secretary of State must have regard to the need to ensure that a scheme allocates property, rights and liabilities to the new licence company in such manner as appears to the Secretary of State to be appropriate. In deciding what is appropriate the Secretary of State must take into account the licensed activities which will be carried out on or after the appointed day by any of— any other licence companies. When a scheme comes into force, it has effect without more so as to transfer to the new licence company the property, rights and liabilities to which the scheme relates. A scheme may divide the property, rights or liabilities of the existing licence company and in connection with that division may— create for the existing licence company, the new licence company or any other licence companies an interest in or right over any property to which the scheme relates; create new rights and liabilities as between any two or more of those companies with respect to the subject-matter of the scheme; in connection with any provision made by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b), make incidental provision as to the interests, rights and liabilities of other persons with respect to the subject-matter of the scheme. A scheme may impose duties on the existing licence company, the new licence company and any other licence company to take all such steps as may be necessary to secure that— any interest, right or liability created by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) of sub-paragraph (2), and any incidental provision made by virtue of paragraph (c) of that sub-paragraph, has effect. A scheme may require the new licence company and any other licence companies to provide consideration in respect of the transfer or creation of property, rights and liabilities by means of the scheme. A requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (4) is enforceable in the same way as if the property, rights and liabilities had been created or transferred, and (if the case so requires) had been capable of being created or transferred, by agreement between the parties. The property, rights and liabilities of the existing licence company which may be transferred in accordance with a scheme include— property, rights and liabilities which the existing licence company would not otherwise be capable of transferring or assigning; property, rights and liabilities to which the existing licence company may become entitled or subject after the making of the scheme and before the appointed day; property situated anywhere in the United Kingdom or elsewhere; rights and liabilities under enactments; rights and liabilities under the law of any part of the United Kingdom or of any country or territory outside the United Kingdom. If a scheme makes a person entitled to possession of a document, the provision that may be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(b) includes— provision for treating that person as having given another person an acknowledgement in writing of the right of that other person to the production of the document and to delivery of copies of it, provision applying section 64 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (production and safe custody of documents) to that acknowledgement, provision that, where a scheme transfers any interest in land or other property situated in Scotland, subsections (1) and (2) of section 16 of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (omission of certain clauses in deeds) are to have effect in relation to the transfer as if the transfer had been effected by deed and as if from each of those subsections the words “unless specially qualified” had been omitted, and provision applying section 9 of the Conveyancing Act 1881 (which is the equivalent in Northern Ireland to section 64 of the Law of Property Act 1925) to that acknowledgement. Sub-paragraph (9) applies if a transfer authorised by sub-paragraph (6)(a) would (were it not so authorised)— give rise to a contravention or liability by reason of a provision relating to the terms on which the existing licence company is entitled or subject to the property, right or liability transferred, or give rise to an interference with any interest or right by reason of such a provision. In such a case the transfer does not give rise to such a contravention, liability or interference. The provision referred to in sub-paragraph (8) may arise under an enactment or agreement or otherwise. A scheme may impose duties on the existing licence company and on the new licence company to take all such steps as may be necessary to secure that the vesting in the new licence company, by virtue of the scheme, of any foreign property, right or liability is effective under the relevant foreign law. A scheme may require the existing licence company to comply with any directions given by the new licence company in performing any duty imposed on the existing licence company by virtue of a provision included in the scheme under sub-paragraph (1). A scheme may provide that, until the vesting of any foreign property, right or liability of the existing licence company in the new licence company is effective under the relevant foreign law, it is the duty of the existing licence company— to hold that property or right for the benefit of the new licence company, or to discharge that liability on behalf of the new licence company. A scheme may provide that in specified cases foreign property, rights or liabilities acquired or incurred by an existing licence company after the scheme comes into force are immediately to become property, rights or liabilities of the new licence company; and in relation to such property, rights or liabilities the scheme may make provision equivalent to that in sub-paragraphs (1) to (3). Nothing in any provision included in a scheme by virtue of this paragraph affects the law of any part of the United Kingdom as it applies to the vesting of any foreign property, right or liability in the new licence company by virtue of the scheme. References in this paragraph to any foreign property, right or liability are references to any property, right or liability as respects which any issue arising in any proceedings would have to be determined (in accordance with the rules of private international law) by reference to the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. Any expenses incurred by an existing licence company in consequence of any provision included in a scheme by virtue of this paragraph must be met by the new licence company. Duties imposed on an existing licence company or a new licence company by virtue of this paragraph are enforceable in the same way as if they were imposed by a contract between the existing licence company and the new licence company. A scheme may contain supplementary, consequential and transitional provision for the purposes of, or in connection with, any provision of the scheme. In particular a scheme may provide— that for purposes connected with any transfers made in accordance with the scheme (including the transfer of rights and liabilities under an enactment) the new licence company is to be treated as the same person in law as the existing licence company; that (so far as may be necessary for the purposes of or in connection with any such transfers) agreements made, transactions effected and other things done by or in relation to the existing licence company are to be treated as made, effected or done by or in relation to the new licence company; that (so far as may be necessary for the purposes of or in connection with any such transfers) references in any agreement (whether or not in writing) or in any document to, or to any officer of, the existing licence company are to have effect with such modifications as the scheme may specify; that proceedings commenced by or against the existing licence company are to be continued by or against the new licence company; that contracts of employment with the existing licence company are not to terminate and that periods of employment with the existing licence company are to count for all purposes as periods of employment with the new licence company; that disputes about the effect of the scheme between the existing licence company and the new licence company, between either of them and any other licence company or between different companies which are other licence companies are to be referred to such arbitration as may be specified in or determined under the scheme; that determinations on such arbitrations are conclusive for all purposes; that certificates given jointly by two or more of the licence companies mentioned in paragraph (f) as to the effect of the scheme as between the licence companies giving the certificates are conclusive for all purposes. The new licence company, the existing licence company and any other licence companies which are likely to be affected by a scheme must provide the Secretary of State with all such information and other assistance as the Secretary of State may reasonably require for the purposes of, or in connection with, the exercise of any power conferred by paragraph 3. If a company without reasonable excuse fails to do anything required of it by sub-paragraph (1) it is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale. While an air traffic administration order is in force in relation to an existing licence company anything which the company is permitted or required to do— by paragraph 3 or 10, or in consequence of any provision of a scheme, is effective only if it is done on the company’s behalf by its air traffic administrator. In their application to a licence company formed and registered under the Companies Act 2006 in Northern Ireland, sections 26 to 32 and Schedules 1 and 2 have effect with the modifications made by this Schedule. Section 26 is modified as follows. In subsection (2) for “Part II of the 1986 Act” substitute “ Part III of the 1989 Order ”. In subsection (5) for “Parts I to VII of the 1986 Act” substitute “ Parts II to VII of the 1989 Order ”.

If for the purposes of section 13 of the 1962 Act a question arises whether land is operational land in relation to a licence holder the question must be decided by the Secretary of State. Section 79 of the New Towns Act 1981 (meaning of statutory undertakers and operational land) shall be amended as follows. In subsection (1) after “the Civil Aviation Authority,” insert a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (air traffic services), For the purposes of this Act— a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 shall not be considered to be a statutory undertaker unless the person is carrying out activities authorised by the licence; the person’s undertaking shall not be considered to be a statutory undertaking except to the extent that it is the person’s undertaking as licence holder.

In subsection (5)(b) for “and the Civil Aviation Authority” substitute “ , the Civil Aviation Authority and a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (air traffic services) ”.

In section 263 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (meaning of operational land) after subsection (2) insert— Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000. Subject to section 264, in this Act “operational land” means, in relation to a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000, land— In section 91(3) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (meaning of statutory undertakers) in paragraph (b) after “the Civil Aviation Authority,” there shall be inserted “ a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (to the extent that the person is carrying out activities authorised by the licence), ”. In section 39(6) of the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 (persons deemed to be statutory undertakers) after “the Civil Aviation Authority” there shall be inserted “ , a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (to the extent that the person is carrying out activities authorised by the licence) ”. Section 214 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (meaning of statutory undertakers) shall be amended as follows. In section 215 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (meaning of operational land) after subsection (2) insert— Subject to section 216, in this Act “operational land” means, in relation to a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000, land— In section 81(3) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 (meaning of statutory undertakers) in paragraph (b) after “the Civil Aviation Authority,” there shall be inserted “ a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (to the extent that the person is carrying out activities authorised by the licence), ”.

In Schedule 13 to the Water Industry Act 1991 (protection of undertakings) in paragraph 1(5) after paragraph (j) there shall be inserted— the undertaking of a person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (air traffic services) to the extent that it is the person’s undertaking as licence holder. In Schedule 22 to the Water Resources Act 1991 (protection of undertakings) in paragraph 1(4) after paragraph (j) there shall be inserted— In Schedule 6 to the Land Drainage Act 1991 (protection of undertakings) in paragraph 1(1) after paragraph (j) there shall be inserted— In section 52(1) of the Coal Mining Subsidence Act 1991 (interpretation) in paragraph (b) of the entry relating to statutory undertakers after “the Civil Aviation Authority” there shall be inserted “ , any person who holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (to the extent that the person is carrying out activities authorised by the licence) ”. Paragraphs 2 and 3 apply if the following two conditions are satisfied. The first condition is that— provision is made by a transfer scheme for the transfer to a transferee of a specified part of a transferor’s undertaking, or provision is made by a transfer scheme (or transfer schemes) for the transfer to different transferees of different specified parts of a transferor’s undertaking. The second condition is that any property, right or liability falls partly in one part of the undertaking and partly in another or others; and the parts of the undertaking are— the part (or each part) transferred, and if a part is retained by the transferor, that part. In paragraphs 2 and 3 references to the parties are to— the transferee or transferees concerned, and the transferor (if he retains part of the undertaking). Paragraphs 2 and 3 do not apply to rights or liabilities under a contract of employment. If the nature of the property, right or liability permits, it must be apportioned in appropriate proportions between the parties; and each appropriate part must be taken to have been transferred to a transferee or retained by the transferor. If an estate or interest in land is to be apportioned under sub-paragraph (1)— any rent payable under a lease in respect of the estate or interest, and any rent charged on the estate or interest, must be apportioned so that an appropriate part of the rent is payable in respect of (or charged on) the appropriate part of the estate or interest. Sub-paragraph (2) applies, with any necessary modifications, in relation to any feuduty payable in respect of an estate or interest in land in Scotland as it applies in relation to any rent charged on an estate or interest in land. If the nature of the property, right or liability does not permit it to be apportioned as mentioned in paragraph 2(1), it must be taken to have been transferred to a transferee or retained by the transferor in accordance with the tests in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3). In the case of an estate or interest in land the test is— which one of the parties has the greater (or greatest) need of the estate or interest for business purposes, or if it is not possible to say that one of them has the greater (or greatest) need, which one of them is likely to make more (or the most) use of the land. In the case of any other property or any right or liability, the test is which one of the parties is likely— to make more (or the most) use of the property, or to be more (or the most) affected by the right or liability. The tests in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) must be applied at— the time when the transfer scheme comes into force (or schemes come into force), or if there are two or more schemes and they come into force at different times, the later or latest of the times. The preceding provisions of this paragraph apply subject to any arrangements made by the parties as to the protection of the interests of any of them. Paragraphs 5 to 7 apply if— It is immaterial whether or not the second condition set out in paragraph 1 is satisfied. In paragraphs 5 to 7 references to the parties are to— Paragraphs 5 to 7 do not apply to rights or liabilities under a contract of employment. The parties must, so far as practicable, make any written agreement necessary or expedient to identify what is to be taken to have been transferred to whom and what (if anything) is to be taken to have been retained. The duty under sub-paragraph (1) has effect before as well as after the coming into force of any transfer scheme concerned. If the Secretary of State thinks it is unlikely that agreement will be reached on a matter where agreement is required under paragraph 5 he may serve a notice on the parties. A notice may be served— whether or not representations are made by a party; before or after the coming into force of any transfer scheme concerned. A notice may specify the terms of the agreement which the Secretary of State thinks the parties should have made under paragraph 5 in relation to the matter concerned. If a notice is served under this paragraph the parties are to be treated as having made an agreement in the terms specified. an agreement made under paragraph 5, or an agreement treated as made by paragraph 6, contains provision to the effect that any property, right or liability is to be taken to have been transferred to a transferee. The property, right or liability is to be treated as having been transferred to the transferee by the scheme concerned (or, if there are two or more schemes, such of them as the agreement specifies). Paragraphs 9 and 10 apply if— In paragraphs 9 and 10 references to the parties are to— Paragraphs 9 and 10 do not apply to rights or liabilities under a contract of employment. Sub-paragraph (6) applies if at the time a transfer scheme comes into force a transferor or transferee under the scheme is— Paragraphs 9 and 10 cease to apply in relation to the scheme concerned at the time when the transferor or any one of the transferees under the scheme ceases to be a company which falls within any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (5). The parties must, so far as practicable, make any written agreement and execute any other instrument necessary or expedient to— give to any party (as against another or others) any rights and safeguards needed for carrying out the party’s functions; modify the division of the transferor’s undertaking in order to help the parties in carrying out their functions. An agreement or instrument under sub-paragraph (1) may provide— for the granting of leases and for the creation of other rights and liabilities over land (whether or not amounting in law to interests in land and whether or not involving the surrender of any existing interest or the creation of a new interest); for the granting of indemnities in connection with the severance of leases and other matters; for responsibility for registration of any matter in any statutory register. If the Secretary of State thinks it is unlikely that agreement will be reached on a matter where agreement is required under paragraph 9 he may serve a notice on the parties. A notice may specify the terms of the agreement which the Secretary of State thinks the parties should have made under paragraph 9 in relation to the matter concerned. If a transfer scheme provides for property, rights or liabilities to be transferred from a transferor to a transferee, they may agree that such of the property, rights or liabilities as are specified in the agreement are to be transferred from the transferee to the transferor. If one or more transfer schemes provide for different property, rights or liabilities to be transferred to different transferees, any transferee may agree with another that such of the property, rights or liabilities as are specified in the agreement are to be transferred from one to the other. This paragraph does not apply to rights or liabilities under a contract of employment. An agreement under this paragraph— must be made before the end of the required period; must be made with the Secretary of State’s approval. The required period is the period of 12 months starting with— the day on which the transfer scheme comes into force (or schemes come into force), or if there are two or more schemes and they come into force on different days, the later or latest of the days. An agreement under this paragraph may provide for a transfer to take effect on a date specified in or determined in accordance with the agreement; but the agreement may provide that a transfer is not to take effect unless the circumstances are such as the agreement specifies. When a transfer agreed under this paragraph takes effect the agreement has effect to transfer (in accordance with its provisions) the property, rights or liabilities concerned, subject to any enactment which provides for transactions to be registered in a statutory register. This paragraph applies if on a transfer under a transfer scheme a transferor is entitled to retain possession of any document relating in part to the title to, or to the management of, any land or other property transferred to a transferee. If the land or other property is situated in England and Wales— the transferor is to be treated as having given the transferee an acknowledgement in writing of the transferee’s right to production of the document and to delivery of copies of it, and section 64 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (production and safe custody of documents) is to apply to the acknowledgement and is to apply on the basis that the acknowledgement does not contain an expression of contrary intention. If the land or other property is situated in Scotland, subsections (1) and (2) of section 16 of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (omission of certain clauses in deeds) is to have effect in relation to the transfer as if the transfer had been effected by deed and as if from each of those subsections the words “unless specially qualified” were omitted. If the land or other property is situated in Northern Ireland— section 9 of the Conveyancing Act 1881 (which corresponds to section 64 of the Law of Property Act 1925) is to apply to the acknowledgement and is to apply on the basis that the acknowledgement does not contain an expression of contrary intention. This paragraph applies if a transfer scheme provides for the transfer of foreign property, rights or liabilities from a transferor to a transferee. The transferor and the transferee must take such steps as may be necessary to secure that the vesting of the property, rights or liabilities in the transferee is effective under the relevant foreign law; and the transferor must take the steps at such times as the transferee may specify in directions given to the transferor. Until the vesting of the property, rights or liabilities in the transferee is effective under the relevant foreign law, the transferor must— hold the property or rights for the transferee’s benefit, or discharge the liabilities on the transferee’s behalf. The transferor is to have all powers necessary for the performance of his duty under sub-paragraph (2), but the transferee must act on the transferor’s behalf (so far as possible) in the performance of that duty. Nothing in sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) affects the law of the United Kingdom (or of any part of the United Kingdom) as it applies to the vesting of the property, rights or liabilities in the transferee by virtue of the transfer scheme. References in this paragraph to foreign property, rights or liabilities are references to property, rights or liabilities as respects which any issue arising in any proceedings would be determined (in accordance with the rules of private international law) by reference to the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. The transferee must meet any expenses incurred by the transferor in consequence of this paragraph. Duties imposed on the transferor or the transferee by this paragraph are enforceable in the same way as if they were imposed by a contract between them. a transfer scheme provides for the transfer of property, rights or liabilities from a transferor to a transferee, and a certificate falling within sub-paragraph (2) is made jointly by or on behalf of the parties. A certificate falls within this sub-paragraph if it certifies that any specified property, right or liability— was intended to be, and was, vested in the transferee by virtue of the transfer, and has not been the subject of an agreement under paragraph 11. The certificate is to be conclusive evidence for all purposes of the facts it certifies. The reference in sub-paragraph (2) to property includes a reference to an interest in or right over property. Sub-paragraph (6) applies if— one of the parties requests the other to join in the preparation of a certificate, and they fail to agree the terms of a certificate within the period of one month starting with the day of the request. The parties must— refer the matter to the Secretary of State, and issue a certificate in such terms as may be specified in a direction given by him. The parties are the transferor and the transferee. For the purposes of this paragraph a person is a party if— he is the transferor (or one of the transferors) under a transfer scheme and holds an interest in land immediately after the scheme comes into force, or he is the transferee (or one of the transferees) under the scheme and an interest in land is transferred to him under the scheme. For the purposes of this paragraph the relevant land is any land in which any party has an interest immediately after the scheme comes into force. On the representation of any of the parties the Secretary of State may give to the parties a direction stating that sub-paragraph (4) is to apply to such of the relevant land as the direction specifies. While the direction remains in force— no party may dispose of an interest in any of the specified land unless the Secretary of State consents; if a party proposes to dispose of such an interest and the Secretary of State thinks it necessary or expedient to exercise any of the powers set out in sub-paragraph (5) for the protection of any other party, the Secretary of State may exercise any of those powers. The powers are— power to consent to the proposed disposal subject to compliance with such conditions as the Secretary of State may see fit to impose; power to require a party to dispose of an interest in any of the specified land to such person and in such manner as may be specified in the requirement; power to require a party to acquire another party’s interest in any of the specified land. In sub-paragraph (5)(b) and (c) references to an interest include (but are not limited to) references to the interest whose disposal is proposed. A person who is not a party and who is dealing with a party (or with a person claiming under a party) in relation to land is not to be concerned to see or enquire— whether this paragraph applies (or has applied) in relation to any of the land; whether a direction under this paragraph has been given in relation to any of the land; whether this paragraph or any condition imposed or requirement made under it has been complied with in connection with the dealing or any other dealing concerning any of the land. No transaction between a person who is not a party (on the one hand) and a party or a person claiming under a party (on the other) is to be invalid by reason of any failure to comply with this paragraph or any condition imposed or requirement made under it. immediately before the coming into force of the scheme the transferor was entitled or subject to the property, rights or liabilities under an agreement to which he was then a party. This paragraph applies— whether or not the agreement is in writing; whether or not the transferor could assign the property, rights or liabilities. So far as the agreement relates to the property, rights or liabilities transferred to the transferee, as respects anything falling to be done after the coming into force of the scheme the agreement is to have effect as if— the transferee had been a party to it instead of the transferor; a reference to the transferor were a reference to the transferee; a reference to a person employed by (or engaged in the business of) the transferor and holding a specified office or serving in a specified capacity were a reference to such a person as the transferee may appoint or, in default of appointment, to a person with corresponding functions who is employed by (or engaged in the business of) the transferee; a reference in general terms to persons employed by, persons engaged in the business of, or agents of, the transferor were a reference to persons employed by, persons engaged in the business of, or agents of, the transferee. A reference mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b) or (c) may be express or implied; and if express it is immaterial how it is worded. It is immaterial how a reference mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(d) is worded. immediately before the coming into force of the scheme any provision of an agreement to which the transferor was not a party, any statutory provision or any provisions of a document (other than an agreement) related to the property, rights or liabilities transferred to the transferee. whether or not the agreement mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) is in writing; So far as the agreement, provision or document relates to the property, rights or liabilities transferred to the transferee, as respects anything falling to be done after the coming into force of the scheme the agreement, provision or document is to have effect as if— A reference mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(a) or (b) may be express or implied; and if express it is immaterial how it is worded. It is immaterial how a reference mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(c) is worded. A reference mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) to the transferor may be a general reference to a class of persons of which the transferor is one (without the transferor being named). For the purposes of this paragraph a statutory provision is a provision contained in an Act or in a document made or issued under an Act; and here “Act” includes a private or local Act. This paragraph applies if a transfer scheme provides for a transfer from a transferor to a transferee. From the coming into force of the scheme the transferee is to have the same rights, powers and remedies for ascertaining, perfecting or enforcing a right or liability transferred to him under the scheme as he would have had if the right or liability had at all times been a right or liability of his. From the coming into force of the scheme any person (other than the transferee) is to have the same rights, powers and remedies for ascertaining, perfecting or enforcing a right or liability transferred to the transferee under the scheme as he would have had if the right or liability had at all times been a right or liability of the transferee. The rights and powers which the transferee or any other person is to have include— rights and powers as to the taking or resisting of legal proceedings; rights and powers as to the making or resisting of applications to an authority. Sub-paragraph (6) applies if on the coming into force of the scheme legal proceedings or applications to an authority by or against the transferor are pending. The proceedings or applications must be continued by or against the transferee (to the transferor’s exclusion) in so far as they relate— to any property, rights or liabilities transferred to the transferee under the scheme, or to any agreement or enactment relating to any such property, rights or liabilities. an agreement is made by the parties under paragraph 5 or 9 or treated as made under paragraph 6 or 10, or an instrument is executed by the parties under paragraph 9. The agreement or instrument is to bind all other persons even if it would (apart from this sub-paragraph) have required the consent or concurrence of any other person. If as a result of the agreement or instrument the rights or liabilities of a person who is not a party become enforceable as to part against or by one party and as to part against or by another party— the parties must notify that person of the agreement or instrument; that person may within the period of 28 days (starting with the day he is notified) apply to the Secretary of State to give a direction to vary the agreement or instrument. If the Secretary of State is satisfied that the agreement or instrument operated unfairly against that person, the Secretary of State may give a direction to the parties requiring them to vary the agreement or instrument in a way specified in the direction. For the purposes of this paragraph— a party is a person who is a transferor or a transferee under the transfer scheme or schemes referred to in this paragraph; a third party is a person who is not a transferor or a transferee under the transfer scheme or schemes referred to in this paragraph. a transfer scheme is made or transfer schemes are made, rights or liabilities of a third party are (apart from the scheme or schemes) enforceable against or by a transferor, in consequence of the scheme or schemes or of anything done under this Schedule the third party’s rights or liabilities become enforceable as to different parts against or by different parties, and the value of any property or interest of the third party is diminished as a result. Just compensation must be paid to the third party by one or more of these persons— the parties against or by whom the third party’s rights or liabilities become enforceable; the transferor concerned (if he does not fall within paragraph (a)). If it appears to the transferor that a person is or may be entitled to compensation the transferor must— notify the person that he is or may be entitled, and invite him to make representations to the transferor within the period of 14 days starting with the date the notification is made. But if the transferor does not know the person’s name and address he must instead publish (in a manner he thinks is appropriate) a notice which— contains information about the property or interest affected, and invites any person who thinks he is or may be entitled to compensation to make representations to the transferor within the period specified in the notice (which must not be less than 28 days starting with the date of publication of the notice). A dispute about whether (or how much) compensation is payable under this paragraph, or about who must pay or be paid it, must be referred to and determined by— a third party is a person who is not a transferor or a transferee under the transfer scheme or schemes referred to in this paragraph; a transferred item is any property, right, liability, undertaking or part of an undertaking which is the subject of a transfer (or transfers) under the transfer scheme or schemes referred to in this paragraph. This paragraph applies if a transfer scheme is made (or transfer schemes are made) and there are court proceedings the parties to which are (or include) a third party and either— the transferor of a transferred item, or any transferee or transferees of the item. The third party may apply to the court at any stage in the proceedings on any of these grounds— that the issues in the proceedings depend on the identification, with regard to the transferred item, of what has been transferred to whom and what (if anything) has been retained and that the identification has not yet been made; that the issues in the proceedings raise a question of construction on the provisions of this Chapter which would not arise if the transferor of the transferred item and the transferee (or transferees) of it constituted a single person. If it appears to the court that such a ground is established it may hear and determine the proceedings on the first and second bases set out below. If the transferor of the transferred item is a party to the proceedings, the first basis is that the transferor represents and is answerable for the transferee (or transferees) of the item. If there is one transferee of the transferred item and he is a party to the proceedings, the first basis is that the transferee represents and is answerable for the transferor of the item. If there are two or more transferees of the transferred item and they are parties to the proceedings, the first basis is that the transferees represent and are answerable for the transferor of the item. If there are two or more transferees of the transferred item and one or more of them (but not both or all of them) are parties to the proceedings, the first basis is that— the transferee who is a party represents and is answerable for the transferor of the item and for the transferee of it who is not (or the transferees of it who are not) parties, or the transferees who are parties represent and are answerable for the transferor of the item and for the transferee of it who is not (or the transferees of it who are not) parties. The second basis is that the transferor of the transferred item and the transferee (or transferees) of it constitute a single person. If the court determines the proceedings on the first and second bases any judgment or order of the court is to bind both the transferor and the transferee (or transferees) of the transferred item. For the purposes of this paragraph a relevant person is a person who satisfies these conditions— he is a transferor or transferee under a transfer scheme or transfer schemes, and he might be prejudiced by paragraph 21 if there were court proceedings in which the scheme or schemes were an issue. A relevant person must keep each other relevant person informed of any court proceedings in which the scheme or schemes may become an issue. This paragraph applies if a person falling within sub-paragraph (3) (the claimant) claims that— he has been prejudiced by paragraph 21, another person or other persons falling within sub-paragraph (3) ought to indemnify him, and there has been an unreasonable failure by the person (or any of the persons) to indemnify him. The claimant may refer the matter to the Secretary of State for determination by him; and a determination must be complied with. A person falls within this sub-paragraph if he is a transferor or a transferee under the scheme or schemes concerned. Paragraphs 11 to 18 and 20 apply whether or not property, rights or liabilities are (or are to be) transferred under the scheme or schemes as a constituent of an undertaking (or part of one). Paragraphs 12 to 18 and 20 to 24 have effect as if references to a transfer scheme or schemes included references to— an agreement or agreements under paragraph 9 or 11; an instrument or instruments under paragraph 9; an agreement or agreements treated as made under paragraph 10. Where paragraph 14 has effect in relation to an agreement under paragraph 11 by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), sub-paragraph (2)(b) of paragraph 14 shall be disregarded. Paragraph 19 has effect in relation to an agreement under paragraph 11 as it has effect in relation to an agreement made under paragraph 5 or 9. Where paragraphs 12 to 24 have effect in relation to— an agreement under paragraph 9 or 11, an instrument under paragraph 9, or an agreement treated as made under paragraph 10, references to a transferor or a transferee have effect as references to a transferor or a transferee under the agreement or the instrument. “the 1988 Act” means the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988; “the 1990 Act” means the Capital Allowances Act 1990; “the 1992 Act” means the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992; “relevant transfer” means a transfer of property, rights or liabilities under a transfer scheme; “transferee” in relation to a relevant transfer means the person to whom the property, rights or liabilities are transferred; “transferor” in relation to a relevant transfer means the person from whom the property, rights or liabilities are transferred. For the purposes of the 1992 Act a disposal constituted by a relevant transfer is to be taken (in relation to the transferee as well as the transferor) to be for a consideration such that no gain or loss accrues to the transferor. Sub-paragraph (1) has effect subject to the following provisions of this Schedule. Section 171(1) of the 1992 Act (provision in relation to disposal of assets from one member of a group of companies to another member of the group) does not apply if the disposal in question is constituted by a relevant transfer. Expressions used in this paragraph and in the 1992 Act have the same meanings in this paragraph as in that Act. assets are transferred to a company under a transfer scheme, in consequence the Secretary of State gives a direction under section 49 above, and the company issues securities in accordance with the direction. For the purposes of the 1992 Act the person to whom the securities are issued is to be treated as acquiring them for a consideration— provided by him wholly and exclusively for the securities, and equal to the market value of the assets transferred to the company under the scheme. This paragraph applies whether or not the person to whom the securities are issued is the person transferring the assets under the scheme. This paragraph applies if — the Secretary of State gives a direction under section 57 above requiring the CAA to release a company from liability in respect of debts, in connection with the direction the Secretary of State gives a direction or directions under section 58 above, and securities are issued in accordance with the direction or directions under section 58. Sub-paragraph (3) applies if the direction under section 58 requires securities to be issued to one person only or the directions under that section (taken together) require securities to be issued to one person only; and sub-paragraph (4) applies in any other case. equal to the amount of the liability affected by the release required by the direction under section 57. For the purposes of the 1992 Act a person to whom any of the securities are issued is to be treated as acquiring them for a consideration— equal to such part as is just and reasonable of the amount of the liability affected by the release required by the direction under section 57. This paragraph applies whether or not the person to whom the securities are issued, or any person to whom any of the securities are issued, is a person transferring anything under the transfer scheme in connection with which the direction under section 57 is given. Nothing in this Chapter and nothing done under it is to be regarded as a scheme or arrangement for the purposes of section 30 of the 1992 Act (tax-free benefits). but for section 154 of the 1992 Act (depreciating assets) a held-over gain would have been carried forward to a depreciating asset, the asset is the subject of a relevant transfer, and the Secretary of State is not the transferee under the relevant transfer. Section 154 is to have effect as if the gain had accrued to, and the claim for it to be held over had been made by, the transferee and as if the transferor’s acquisition of the depreciating asset had been the transferee’s acquisition of it. Expressions used in this paragraph and in section 154 have the same meanings in this paragraph as in that section. If there has been a relevant transfer of an asset section 174(1) of the 1992 Act (which applies section 41 to cases where assets have been acquired without gain or loss) is to have effect as if the asset had been transferred to the transferee, and acquired by him, in relevant circumstances. This paragraph is not to prejudice paragraph 2. Expressions used in this paragraph and in section 174(1) of the 1992 Act have the same meanings in this paragraph as in section 174(1). Sub-paragraph (2) applies if a company (the degrouped company)— acquired an asset from another company at any time when both were members of the same group of companies (the old group), ceases by virtue of a relevant transfer to be a member of the old group, and becomes by virtue of the transfer a member of another group of companies (the new group). Section 179 of the 1992 Act (company ceasing to be member of group) is not to treat the degrouped company as having by virtue of the transfer sold and immediately reacquired the asset. Sub-paragraph (4) applies if— sub-paragraph (2) applies to an asset, and the degrouped company ceases to be a member of the new group. On the company so ceasing section 179 of the 1992 Act is to have effect as if the degrouped company and the company from which it acquired the asset had been members of the new group at the time of acquisition. But sub-paragraph (4) does not apply if— at the time when the degrouped company ceases to be a member of the new group the company from which it acquired the asset also ceases to be a member of the new group, the companies are associated companies immediately before and immediately after that time, and the companies were associated companies at the time of acquisition. Expressions used in this paragraph and in section 179 of the 1992 Act have the same meanings in this paragraph as in that section. Sub-paragraph (3) applies if— a company (the degrouped company) ceases by virtue of a relevant transfer to be a member of a group of companies (the old group), it becomes by virtue of the transfer a member of another group of companies (the new group), it ceases to be a member of the new group, and the condition in sub-paragraph (2) is satisfied. the degrouped company acquired an asset under a relevant transfer at a time falling before it ceases to be a member of the new group, and at the time of acquisition the degrouped company and the transferor were not members of the new group. On the degrouped company ceasing to be a member of the new group section 179 of the 1992 Act is to have effect as if the degrouped company and the transferor had been members of the new group at the time of acquisition. But sub-paragraph (3) does not apply if— at the time when the degrouped company ceases to be a member of the new group the transferor also ceases to be a member of the new group, Paragraph 8(4) and sub-paragraph (3) above may apply on the same occasion; but if paragraph 8(4) applies to an asset on a given occasion sub-paragraph (3) above does not apply to that asset on that occasion. a company ceases by virtue of a relevant transfer to be a member of a group of companies (the old group), a company falling within sub-paragraph (2) (the degrouped company) ceases to be a member of the new group, and the condition in sub-paragraph (3) is satisfied. A company falls within this sub-paragraph if immediately before it ceases to be a member of the new group it is a subsidiary of— the company referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a), or the principal company of the new group (if that company differs from the company referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a)). property which is plant or machinery is the subject of a relevant transfer, Chapter 1 of Part 22 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (transfers of trade without a change of ownership) does not apply in relation to the transfer, and the transfer scheme concerned contains provision for the disposal value of the property to be taken for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Acts to be of an amount specified in or determined in accordance with the scheme. For the purposes of the Capital Allowances Acts— the provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c) is to have effect (instead of section 26(1) or 59 of the 1990 Act) for determining an amount as the disposal value of the property or the price at which a fixture is to be treated as sold; the transferee is to be taken to have incurred expenditure of that amount on the provision of the property; in the case of a fixture, the expenditure which falls to be treated as incurred by the transferee is to be taken for the purposes of section 54 of the 1990 Act to be incurred by the giving of a consideration consisting in a capital sum of that amount. A provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c) for the determination of an amount may include provision— for a determination to be made by the Secretary of State in a manner described in the scheme; for a determination to be made by reference to factors so described or to the opinion of a person so described; for a determination to be capable of being modified (on one or more occasions) in a manner and in circumstances so described. The Treasury’s consent is required for the making or modification of a determination under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c). The transferee’s consent is also required for such a modification after the relevant transfer takes effect. If there is a determination or a modification of a determination under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c) all necessary adjustments— must be made by making assessments or by repayment or discharge of tax, and must be made notwithstanding any limitation on the time within which assessments may be made. In this paragraph “the Capital Allowances Acts” has the same meaning as in the Tax Acts and “fixture” has the same meaning as in Chapter VI of Part II of the 1990 Act. under a relevant transfer trading stock of the transferor is transferred to the transferee, and the stock falls, immediately after the time when the transfer takes effect, to be treated as trading stock of the transferee. Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) have effect in computing the profits or gains of the relevant trades for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts; and the relevant trades are— the trade in relation to which the stock is trading stock immediately before the time when the transfer takes effect, and the trade in relation to which it is trading stock after that time. The stock must be taken— to have been disposed of by the transferor in the course of the trade carried on by the transferor, to have been acquired by the transferee in the course of the trade carried on by the transferee, and subject to that, to have been disposed of and acquired at the time when the transfer takes effect. The stock must be valued for the purposes of each of the relevant trades as if the disposal and acquisition had been for a consideration which in relation to the transferor would have resulted in neither a profit nor a loss being brought into account in respect of the disposal in the accounting period of the transferor which ends with, or is current at, the time when the transfer takes effect. In this paragraph “trading stock” has the same meaning as in section 163 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009. This paragraph applies if a transfer scheme provides for a relevant transfer as a result of which the transferor ceases to carry on a trade and the transferee begins to carry it on. A transferor treated as ceasing to carry on a trade for the purposes of Chapter 1 of Part 22 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (transfers of trade without a change of ownership) is to be so treated for the purposes of this paragraph. A transferee treated as beginning to carry on a trade for the purposes of that Chapter is to be so treated for the purposes of this paragraph. Sub-paragraph (5) applies if the transfer will result in the transferee being entitled to relief for an amount in respect of the trade under section 45 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (carry forward of trading losses) by virtue of section 944(3) of that Act. In such a case the scheme may provide that the amount is to be treated as such amount (the replacement amount) as is specified in or determined in accordance with the scheme. Sub-paragraph (7) applies if the trade concerned is in fact part of a trade of the transferor and the transferor is entitled to relief for an amount under section 45 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 in respect of the part retained. A provision under sub-paragraph (5) or (7) must be such that the replacement amount is not greater than the amount it replaces; and the replacement amount may be nil. When the scheme comes into force a provision made under sub-paragraph (5) or (7) is to have effect for the purposes of arriving at the amount of relief concerned. This paragraph applies if under a relevant transfer all the issued share capital of a company (the transferred company) is transferred from the CAA to— a company whose shares are all held by the Secretary of State when the transfer takes effect. For the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 14 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (but not section 674(1) of that Act) (disallowance of trading losses on change in company’s ownership) the transfer is not to be taken to result in a change in the ownership of— the transferred company, or a company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the transferred company when the transfer takes effect. This paragraph applies for the purposes of Chapter 4 of Part 19 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Chapter 4 of Part 12A of the Income Tax Act 2007 (assets leased to traders and others) if the interest of the lessor or the lessee under a lease, or any other interest in an asset, is transferred to a person under a relevant transfer. The transfer is to be treated as made without any capital sum having been obtained in respect of the interest by the transferor or the transferee; and this is so notwithstanding section 879 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 681DI of the Income Tax Act 2007. This paragraph applies if securities are issued by a company in pursuance of a direction of the Secretary of State under section 49 or 58 above. A share issued by the company is to be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as if it had been issued wholly in consideration of a subscription paid to the company of an amount equal to the nominal value of the share. A debenture issued by the company is to be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as if it had been issued— wholly in consideration of a loan made to the company of an amount equal to the principal sum payable under the debenture, and wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the trade carried on by the company. If a debenture issued by the company includes provision for the payment of a sum expressed as interest in respect of a period falling wholly or partly before the issue of the debenture, a payment made in pursuance of the provision in respect of the period is to be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as if the debenture had been issued at the commencement of the period and (accordingly) as interest on the principal sum payable under the debenture. This paragraph has effect subject to paragraphs 3, 4 and 17. securities are issued to a company in pursuance of a direction of the Secretary of State under section 49 or 58 above, and by virtue of any such security the company has a loan relationship for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts. For the purposes of Part 5 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (loan relationships) the company is to be taken to have acquired its rights under the security wholly in consideration of a loan made by it to the issuing company of an amount equal to the principal sum payable under the security. Expressions used in this paragraph and in Part 5 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 have the same meanings in this paragraph as in that Part. A relevant transfer is not to give rise to liability to stamp duty. Stamp duty is not to be chargeable on a transfer scheme. Stamp duty is not to be chargeable on an instrument which is certified to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue by the Secretary of State as having been made for the purposes of (or for purposes connected with) a transfer scheme. But no instrument which is certified as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) is to be taken to be duly stamped unless— it is stamped with the duty to which it would be liable but for that sub-paragraph, or it has, in accordance with section 12 of the Stamp Act 1891, been stamped with a particular stamp denoting that it is not chargeable with that duty or that it is duly stamped. Stamp duty is not to be chargeable on an instrument which is made under Schedule 6. An agreement is not to give rise to a charge to stamp duty reserve tax if— it is made for the purposes of (or for purposes connected with) a transfer scheme, or it is made under Schedule 6. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if the effect of— an agreement made under paragraph 9 or 11 of Schedule 6, an instrument executed under paragraph 9 of Schedule 6, or an agreement treated as made under paragraph 10 of Schedule 6, is to modify the effect of a transfer scheme. This Schedule, the 1988 Act, the 1990 Act and the 1992 Act are to have effect as if— the scheme had been made as modified, and anything done by or in relation to the preceding holder had (so far as relating to the property, rights or liabilities affected by the modification) been done by or in relation to the subsequent holder. Sub-paragraph (4) applies to a disposal of an asset if the disposal— is effected in pursuance of an agreement made or treated as made under paragraph 9 or 10 of Schedule 6 or is effected by an instrument executed under paragraph 9 of that Schedule, and is the grant of a lease of land or the creation of other rights and liabilities over land. For the purposes of the 1992 Act the disposal is to be taken (in relation to the person to whom it is made as well as the person making it) to be for a consideration such that no gain or loss accrues to the person making it.

Section 171(1) of the 1992 Act (provision in relation to disposal of assets from one member of a group of companies to another member of the group) does not apply if sub-paragraph (4) applies to the disposal in question. References in this paragraph to an agreement or instrument include references to the agreement or instrument as varied in accordance with a direction under paragraph 19(4) of Schedule 6. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the preceding holder is the person who without the modification— became (under the transfer scheme concerned) entitled or subject to the property, rights or liabilities affected by the modification, or remained (despite the transfer scheme concerned) entitled or subject to the property, rights or liabilities affected by the modification, as the case may be. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the subsequent holder is the person who (in consequence of the modification) becomes, or resumes being, entitled or subject to the property, rights or liabilities affected by the modification. In the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975, in Part III of Schedule 1, after the entry “Director of the Commonwealth Institute” there shall be inserted— Director of any of the following— a company which for the time being holds a licence under Chapter I of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 (a licence company); a company of which a licence company is a subsidiary (within the meaning given by section 736(1) of the Companies Act 1985 or Article 4(1) of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986); a company which is a subsidiary (within the meaning so given) of a licence company.

However, when performing such a function the CAA may have regard to any matter in respect of which a duty is imposed by subsection (1) above if it is a matter to which the Director General of Fair Trading could have regard when performing that function. Section 54 of the Competition Act 1998 (regulators) shall be amended as follows. In subsection (4) after “Schedule 10” insert “ or by Chapter V of Part I of the Transport Act 2000 ”.

Sections 62 and 63 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (control in time of war or emergency) shall cease to have effect.

In so far as any direction applying to an airport operator by virtue of subsection (1), (2) or (3) conflicts with the requirements of section 93 of the Transport Act 2000 or of an order under section 94 of that Act, the direction shall be disregarded. In subsection (5) after “to him as an airport operator” insert “ (other than section 93 of the Transport Act 2000 or an order under section 94 of that Act) ”.

The information must not be disclosed during the lifetime of the individual or so long as the business is carried on, except as provided below.

A voluntary multilateral agreement (a “VMA”) is a voluntary partnership agreement (within the meaning given by section 153) to which two or more operators of local services are parties. A voluntary bilateral agreement (a “VBA”) is a voluntary partnership agreement (within the meaning given by that section) to which only one operator of local services is a party. In this Part of this Schedule— a “qualifying agreement” is an agreement between bus undertakings only; a “qualifying decision” is so much of any decision by an association of undertakings as relates to the operation of local services; a “qualifying practice” is a concerted practice by bus undertakings only. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)— a bus undertaking is an undertaking which is the operator of a local service; the involvement of a local authority which is not a bus undertaking is to be disregarded; an advanced quality partnership scheme, a quality partnership scheme , an enhanced partnership scheme or voluntary partnership agreement is not to be regarded as a qualifying agreement, qualifying decision or qualifying practice. In sub-paragraph (5)(b) “local authority” means— a district council in England. A provision of this Part of this Schedule which is expressed to apply to, or in relation to, a qualifying agreement is to be read as applying equally to, or in relation to, a qualifying decision or a qualifying practice (but with any necessary modifications). A reference to the area of an authority— in relation to a VMA or VBA, is a reference to the area of a local transport authority who are a party to the agreement; in relation to a qualifying agreement, is a reference to the area of a local transport authority in whose area the agreement is, or is to be, implemented. The “bus improvement objectives” are— securing other improvements in local services of benefit to users of local services, and This Part of this Schedule applies to— VMAs or VBAs falling within sub-paragraph (2), and qualifying agreements falling within sub-paragraph (3). This paragraph is subject to paragraph 19. A VMA or VBA falls within this sub-paragraph if it has as its object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition in the area of the authority, or the combined area of the authorities. A qualifying agreement falls within this sub-paragraph if— it has as its object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition in the area of the authority, or the combined area of the authorities, but the authority, or any of the authorities, has certified that they have considered all the terms and effects (or likely effects) of the agreement and that in their opinion the requirements mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) are satisfied. The requirements are that the agreement— is in the interests of persons using local services within the area of the authority, or the combined area of the authorities, and does not impose on the undertakings concerned restrictions that are not indispensable to the attainment of the bus improvement objectives. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)— the object or effect of a VMA may be considered either on its own or together with one or more other VMAs, VBAs or qualifying agreements; the object or effect of a VBA is to be considered together with one or more VMAs, other VBAs or qualifying agreements. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) the object or effect of a qualifying agreement may be considered either on its own or together with one or more VMAs, VBAs or other qualifying agreements. This Part of this Schedule does not apply to a VMA, VBA or qualifying agreement if it (or any of its provisions) constitutes a price-fixing agreement within the meaning given by section 39(9) of the Competition Act 1998. Where the standard of services specified in a VMA or VBA includes any requirement as to maximum fares (see section 153(3)), any provision of that agreement relating to the setting, review or revision of the maximum fare is not to be regarded as constituting a price-fixing agreement for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1). Any VMA, VBA or qualifying agreement to which this Part of this Schedule applies is prohibited unless it is exempt in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule. The prohibition in sub-paragraph (1) applies in place of the Chapter 1 prohibition. The Chapter 1 prohibition is the prohibition imposed by section 2(1) of the Competition Act 1998. Any agreement or decision which is prohibited by paragraph 20 is void. A VMA, VBA or qualifying agreement to which this Part of this Schedule applies is exempt if— it contributes to the attainment of one or more of the bus improvement objectives, it does not impose on the undertakings concerned restrictions which are not indispensable to the attainment of those objectives, and it does not afford the undertakings concerned the possibility of eliminating competition in respect of a substantial part of the services in question. In any proceedings in which it is alleged that the prohibition in paragraph 20 is being or has been infringed by a VMA, VBA or qualifying agreement any undertaking or association of undertakings claiming the benefit of sub-paragraph (1) shall bear the burden of proving that the conditions of that sub-paragraph are satisfied. The provisions of Part 1 of the Competition Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) specified in sub-paragraph (2) apply in relation to the prohibition in paragraph 20 (and a VMA, VBA or qualifying agreement to which this Part of this Schedule applies) as those provisions apply in relation to the Chapter 1 prohibition (and an agreement to which the provisions of that Chapter apply). in Chapter 1, sections 3, 6, 8, 10 and 10A (excluded agreements and exemptions); Chapter 3 (investigations and enforcement), except sections 36 to 39 (penalties); in Chapter 4, sections 46 to 49 (appeals) , except section 47F and Schedule 8A; Chapter 5 (miscellaneous), except section 54 (regulators). The application, by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(d), of Chapter 5 includes section 52(1) of the 1998 Act; but this is subject to the following modifications— the reference to the passing of the 1998 Act is to be read as a reference to the passing of the Local Transport Act 2008; the reference to the Director is to be read as a reference to the OFT. The application, in accordance with sub-paragraph (1), of the provisions mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) is to be subject to such further modifications as the Secretary of State may by order provide. In section 92(8) of the Finance Act 1965 (grants towards duty charged on bus fuel), in the definition of “bus service”— in paragraph (a), after “Act” insert “ or provided under a quality contract (within the meaning of Part II of the Transport Act 2000) ”, and in paragraph (b), for “II of that Act” substitute “ II of the Transport Act 1985 ”.

The Authority shall seek and have regard to the advice of the Executive for their area in determining which services it would be appropriate for the Executive to secure under subsection (3) of this section. In subsection (6), for the words following paragraph (b) substitute “ to have regard to a combination of economy, efficiency and effectiveness. ” In subsection (7), insert at the end “ and to the bus strategy made jointly by the Authority and the councils for the metropolitan districts comprised in the area. ” Omit section 9B (consultation and publicity with respect to policies as to services). In section 97 of the Local Government Act 1972 (exceptions from prohibition on member of local authority discussing and voting on matters in which he has pecuniary interest), after subsection (6) insert— Section 94 above shall not prohibit a director of a public transport company, or a subsidiary of such a company, who is neither— paid for acting as such; nor an employee of the public transport company or subsidiary, from taking part in the consideration or discussion of, or from voting on any question with respect to, a local transport plan or bus strategy; and in this subsection “public transport company” and “subsidiary” have the same meanings as in Part IV of the Transport Act 1985. The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 has effect subject to the following amendments. In section 1 (traffic regulation orders), after subsection (3) insert— A local traffic authority may make a traffic regulation order in respect of a road in relation to which the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales is the traffic authority if— the order is required for the provision of facilities pursuant to a quality partnership scheme under Part II of the Transport Act 2000, and the Secretary of State, or the National Assembly for Wales, consents.

In this Schedule “linked licence”, in relation to an access agreement, means a licence of which the holder is— the facility owner, or installation owner, who is a party to the access agreement; or any other person who has an estate or interest in, or right over, the railway facility or network installation to which the access agreement relates. The procedure for the implementation of an access charges review shall be as provided for by paragraphs 4 to 16 of this Schedule. And any procedure relating to the implementation of an access charges review for which the access agreement or any linked licence makes provision shall not apply. An access charges review may include a consideration of— the time at which the next access charges review in relation to the access agreement may be undertaken; and circumstances in which an access charges review in relation to the access agreement may be undertaken before that time. The implementation of an access charges review shall be initiated by the Regulator giving notice (a “review notice”)— stating his conclusions on the access charges review and the reasons why he reached those conclusions; specifying the relevant changes which he proposes to make for or in connection with giving effect to those conclusions; stating, in relation to each of the proposed relevant changes, the date on which he proposes that it should come into operation; and specifying the period (not being less than six weeks from the date of publication of the notice) within which objections with respect to any of the proposed relevant changes, or the date on which it is proposed that it should come into operation, may be made by a person within sub-paragraph (4)(a) or (b) below.

The persons referred to in sub-paragraph (3)(b) above are— the facility owner, or installation owner, who is a party to the access agreement; any other person who has an estate or interest in, or right over, the railway facility or network installation to which the access agreement relates and who the Regulator considers ought to be given a copy; and the beneficiary. In this Schedule “the beneficiary”— in relation to an access contract, has the meaning given by section 17(7) of this Act; and in relation to an installation access contract, has the meaning given by section 19(10) of this Act. If no objections are duly made by a person within paragraph 4(4)(a) or (b) above (or any that are so made are withdrawn), the Regulator shall give notice (a “notice of agreement”) stating that fact. The notice of agreement shall be given— by serving a copy on the beneficiary. After a copy of a notice of agreement is served on the beneficiary, he may give notice (a “termination notice”) terminating the access agreement. The termination notice shall specify the date on which the access agreement is to terminate. The termination notice shall be given by serving a copy on— the facility owner or installation owner; any other person who has an estate or interest in, or right over, the railway facility or network installation and who received a copy of the review notice; and the Regulator.

The Regulator may— give a new review notice under paragraph 4 above; or make a reference to the Competition Commission under paragraph 9 below. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above— “relevant objections”, in relation to another access agreement, means objections by a person who is within paragraph 4(4)(a) or (b) above in relation to that other access agreement; and one review notice is similar to another if they make provision which, in the opinion of the Regulator, is to broadly the same effect.

A reference to the Competition Commission under this paragraph shall be so framed as to require them to investigate and report on the questions specified in sub-paragraph (2) below. Those questions are— whether the matters considered on the access charges review which are specified in the reference operate, or may be expected to operate, against the public interest; and if so, whether the effects adverse to the public interest which those matters have or may be expected to have could be remedied or prevented by the making of relevant changes. The Regulator may, at any time, by notice given to the Competition Commission vary a reference under this paragraph— by adding to the matters specified in the reference; or by excluding from the reference some or all of the matters so specified. On receipt of such a notice the Competition Commission shall give effect to the variation. The Regulator may specify in a reference under this paragraph, or a variation of such a reference, for the purpose of assisting the Competition Commission in carrying out the investigation on the reference— any effects adverse to the public interest which, in his opinion, the matters specified in the reference or variation have or may be expected to have; and any relevant changes by which, in his opinion, those effects could be remedied or prevented. As soon as practicable after making a reference under this paragraph, or a variation of such a reference, the Regulator— shall serve a copy of the reference or variation on the persons on whom a copy of the review notice was served; and shall publish particulars of the reference or variation in such manner as he considers appropriate for the purpose of bringing the reference or variation to the attention of persons likely to be affected by it.

For the purpose of carrying out such an investigation, the Competition Commission shall take account of any information given to them for that purpose under sub-paragraph (7) above.

In this paragraph “statutory provision” means a provision whether of a general or of a special nature contained in, or in any document made or issued under, any Act (whether of a general or a special nature) other than the Railways Act 1993 or this Part. On the date appointed by a transfer scheme, the property, rights and liabilities which are the subject of the scheme shall, by virtue of this paragraph, be transferred in accordance with the provisions of the scheme. Nothing in this Act affects the validity of anything done by or in relation to the Board in connection with anything transferred by a transfer scheme. There may be continued by or in relation to the Secretary of State anything (including legal proceedings) relating to anything transferred by a transfer scheme which is in the process of being done by or in relation to the Board immediately before it is transferred. Anything done by the Board for the purpose of or in connection with anything transferred by a transfer scheme which is in effect immediately before it is transferred shall be treated as if done by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State shall be substituted for the Board in documents and legal proceedings relating to anything transferred by a transfer scheme. Where a person employed by the Board becomes employed in the civil service of the state by virtue of a transfer scheme— for the purposes of Part XI of the Employment Rights Act 1996, he shall not be regarded as having been dismissed by virtue of the transfer, and for the purposes of that Act, his period of employment with the Board counts as a period of employment in the civil service of the state and the change of employment does not break the continuity of the period of employment. Where there is a transfer in accordance with a transfer scheme of— foreign property, or a foreign right or liability, the Board and the Secretary of State must take all requisite steps to secure that the vesting of the foreign property, right or liability in the Secretary of State by this Act is effective under the relevant foreign law. Until the vesting of the foreign property, right or liability in the Secretary of State in accordance with the transfer scheme is effective under the relevant foreign law, the Board must— hold the property or right for the benefit of the Secretary of State; or discharge the liability on behalf of the Secretary of State. Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) or (2) prejudices the effect under the law of a part of the United Kingdom of the vesting of any foreign property, right or liability in the Secretary of State in accordance with a transfer scheme. References in this paragraph to foreign property, or to a foreign right or liability, are references to any property, right or liability as respects which an issue arising in any proceedings would be determined (in accordance with the rules of private international law) by reference to the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. An obligation imposed under this paragraph in relation to property, rights or liabilities shall be enforceable as if contained in a contract between the Board and the Secretary of State. If at any time after a transfer scheme has come into force the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to do so, he may by order provide that the scheme shall for all purposes be deemed to have come into force with such modifications, other than modifications relating to the transfer of rights and liabilities under a contract of employment, as may be specified in the order. An order under sub-paragraph (1) may make, with effect from the coming into force of the scheme, such provision as could have been made by the scheme, and in connection with giving effect to that provision from that time may contain such supplemental, consequential and transitional provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. An order under sub-paragraph (1) shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The Board shall provide the Secretary of State with all such information and other assistance as he may reasonably require for the purposes of or in connection with the exercise of any of the powers conferred on him by this Part of this Schedule. Before making a transfer scheme, or an order modifying such a scheme, the Secretary of State shall consult the Board ... . “the 1988 Act” means the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, .... “the 1992 Act” means the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, “the Capital Allowances Act” means the Capital Allowances Act 2001 and includes, where the context admits, enactments which under the 1988 Act are to be treated as contained in the Capital Allowances Act 2001, “fixture” has the same meaning as in Chapter 14 of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act, “franchise company” means any body corporate which is, or is to be, the franchisee or the franchise operator under a franchise agreement, and “qualifying transfer” means a transfer which is a relevant transfer for the purposes of any of Parts II to VI of this Schedule. So far as it relates to corporation tax, this Schedule is to be construed as one with the Corporation Tax Acts. So far as it relates to capital allowances, this Schedule is to be construed as one with the Capital Allowances Act. “relevant transfer” means a transfer of property, rights or liabilities by virtue of— section 215, a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 15, or a scheme under paragraph 31 of Schedule 17, “transferee”, in relation to a relevant transfer, means the Authority, and “transferor”, in relation to a relevant transfer, means the person from whom the property, rights or liabilities are transferred. For the purposes of the 1992 Act a disposal by virtue of provision made under paragraph 34(a) of Schedule 17 is to be taken to be for a consideration such that no gain or loss accrues to the person making the disposal. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if in the case of a relevant transfer— a debt owed to the transferor is transferred to the transferee, and the transferor would, apart from this paragraph, be the original creditor in relation to that debt for the purposes of section 251 of the 1992 Act (disposal of debts). The 1992 Act is to have effect as if the transferee (and not the transferor) were the original creditor for those purposes. This paragraph applies in relation to property if— the property is plant or machinery to which a relevant transfer relates, the property would have been treated for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act (had the transferor incurred expenditure qualifying for allowances under Part 2 of that Acton the provision of the property) as disposed of by the transferor to the transferee on the transfer taking effect, and the relevant order or scheme contains provision for the transferee to be taken for the purposes of that Act to have incurred capital expenditure of an amount specified in or determined in accordance with the order or scheme on the provision of the property. For the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act— the transferee is to be taken to have incurred capital expenditure of that amount on the provision of the property for the purposes for which it is used by the transferee on and after the taking effect of the transfer, the property is to be taken as belonging to the transferee in consequence of the transferee having incurred that expenditure, and in the case of a fixture, the expenditure which falls to be treated as incurred by the transferee is to be taken for the purposes of sections 181(1) and 182(1) of that Act to be incurred by the giving of a consideration consisting in a capital sum of that amount. In sub-paragraph (1)(c) “the relevant order or scheme” means— in the case of a transfer by virtue of section 215, an order made by the Secretary of State by statutory instrument, or in the case of a transfer by virtue of a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 or paragraph 31 of Schedule 17, the scheme concerned. for a determination to be made by the Secretary of State in a manner described in the order or scheme, for a determination to be made by reference to factors so described or to the opinion of a person so described, and must be made despite any limitation on the time within which assessments may be made. For the purposes of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act references in that Part to a transaction (however described) between connected persons (see section 575 of that Act) are not to include references to a relevant transfer. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if as a result of a relevant transfer the transferee replaces, or (if the transferor had been a company) would have replaced, the transferor as a party to a loan relationship. Part 5 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 is to have effect in relation to the time when the relevant transfer takes effect and any later time as if— the transferee had been a party to the loan relationship at the time the transferor became, or (if the transferor had been a company) would have become, a party to the loan relationship and at all times since that time, and the loan relationship to which the transferee is a party after the time the transfer takes effect is the same loan relationship as that to which, by virtue of paragraph (a), it is treated as having been a party before that time. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) the transferor (and accordingly the transferee) is to be taken to have accounted for the loan relationship in accordance with a basis of accounting corresponding to that in accordance with which the transferee accounts for the loan relationship in the accounting period in which the transfer takes effect. paragraph 11 of Schedule 18, or a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 19, “transferor”, in relation to a relevant transfer, means the Board. For the purposes of the 1992 Act a disposal— constituted by a relevant transfer, or by virtue of provision made under paragraph 4 of Schedule 19, is to be taken (in relation to the person to whom the disposal is made as well as the person making the disposal) to be for a consideration such that no gain or loss accrues to the person making the disposal. If there has been a disposal of an asset— subsection (8) of section 41 of the 1992 Act (which applies that section to cases where assets have been acquired without gain or loss) is to have effect as if the asset had been disposed of and acquired in circumstances mentioned in that subsection. This paragraph is not to prejudice paragraph 9. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if a company (“the degrouped company”)— acquired an asset from another company at any time when both were members of the same group of companies (“the old group”), and ceases by virtue of a relevant transfer to be a member of the old group. If sub-paragraph (2) applies to an asset, that section is to have effect on and after the first subsequent occasion on which the degrouped company ceases to be a member of a group of companies (“the new group”), otherwise than by virtue of a qualifying transfer, as if the degrouped company and the company from which it acquired the asset had been members of the new group at the time of acquisition. If, disregarding any preparatory transactions, a company would be regarded for the purposes of section 179 of the 1992 Act (and, accordingly, of this paragraph) as ceasing to be a member of a group of companies by virtue of a qualifying transfer, it is to be regarded for those purposes as so doing by virtue of the qualifying transfer and not by virtue of any preparatory transactions. In this paragraph “preparatory transaction” means anything done under or by virtue of this Part of this Act for the purpose of initiating, advancing or facilitating the qualifying transfer in question. Sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) apply if— the transferor ceased to carry on a trade by virtue of a relevant transfer taking effect, and on the taking effect of that transfer, the transferee began to carry on the trade. This sub-paragraph is to be read with sub-paragraph (8). Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4), in a case falling within sub-paragraph (1)— there are to be made to or on the transferee in accordance with the Capital Allowances Act all such allowances and charges as would, if the transferor had continued to carry on the trade, have fallen to be made to or on the transferor, and the amount of any such allowance or charge is to be computed as if— the transferee had been carrying on the trade since the transferor began to do so, and everything done to or by the transferor had been done to or by the transferee (but so that the relevant transfer itself, so far as it relates to any assets in use for the purpose of the trade, shall not be treated as giving rise to any such allowance or charge). For the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts, only such amounts (if any) as may be specified in or determined in accordance with an order made by the Secretary of State by statutory instrument are to be allocated to the transferee in respect of expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) in relation to anything to which the transfer relates. Sub-paragraph (2) is to affect the amounts falling to be taken into account in relation to the transferor as expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made only so far as necessary to give effect to a reduction of any such amount by a sum equal to so much of that amount as is allocated to the transferee as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3). An order under sub-paragraph (3) may include provision— for a determination to be made by the Secretary of State in a manner described in the order, The Treasury’s consent is required for the making or modification of a determination of any such amount as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (3). In determining whether sub-paragraph (1) has effect in relation to a relevant transfer in a case where— the transferor continues to carry on any trade or part of a trade after the transfer takes effect, or the transferee was carrying on any trade before the transfer takes effect, the trade or part of a trade which is continued, or was being carried on, shall for the purposes of that sub-paragraph be treated in relation to any trade or part of a trade which is transferred by virtue of the transfer as a separate trade and shall accordingly be disregarded. If there is a determination or a modification of a determination for any purposes of this paragraph, all necessary adjustments— paragraph 13 does not apply in relation to the transfer of the property to the transferee, the property would be treated for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act as disposed of by the transferor to the transferee on the transfer taking effect, and the scheme concerned contains provision for the disposal value of the property to be taken for the purposes of that Act to be of an amount specified in or determined in accordance with the scheme. the provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d) is to have effect (instead of section 61(2) to (4), 72(3) to (5), 171, 196 or 423 of that Act) for determining an amount as the disposal value of the property or the price at which a fixture is to be treated as sold, A provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d) for the determination of an amount may include provision— for a determination to be made by the Secretary of State in a manner described in the scheme, The Treasury’s consent is required for the making or modification of a determination under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d). If there is a determination or a modification of a determination under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d) all necessary adjustments— For the purposes of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Actreferences in that Part to a transaction (however described) between connected persons (see section 575 of that Act) are not to include references to a relevant transfer. Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply for the purposes of section 781 of the 1988 Act (assets leased to traders and others) if the interest of the lessor or the lessee under a lease, or any other interest in an asset, is transferred to a person under a relevant transfer. The transfer is to be treated as made without any capital sum having been obtained in respect of the interest by the transferor; and this is so despite section 783(4) of that Act. If the interest is an interest under a lease, payments made by the transferor under the lease before the transfer takes effect are to be treated as if they had been made under that lease by the transferee. Sub-paragraph (5) applies for the purposes of section 781 of the 1988 Act if a lease, or any other interest in an asset, is granted by virtue of provision made under paragraph 4 of Schedule 19. The grant is to be treated as made without any capital sum having been obtained in respect of the lease, or interest, by the grantor; and this is so despite section 783(4) of that Act. No charge is to arise under section 781(1) of the 1988 Act by virtue of section 783(2) of that Act in a case where the capital sum mentioned in section 781(1)(b)(i) or (ii) of that Act is or forms part of the consideration obtained (or treated by section 783(4) of that Act as obtained) by the transferor on a disposal by virtue of a relevant transfer of securities of a subsidiary of the transferor. Expressions used in this paragraph and in sections 781 to 785 of the 1988 Act have the same meanings in this paragraph as in those sections. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if, as a result of a relevant transfer, the transferee replaces the transferor as a party to a loan relationship. the transferee had been a party to the loan relationship at the time the transferor became a party to the loan relationship and at all times since that time, and This paragraph applies for the purpose of computing the profits or losses of the transferor and the transferee under Case I of Schedule D in respect of any trade or part of a trade transferred by a relevant transfer in relation to the time when the transfer takes effect and any later time. The trade or part of a trade transferred is to be treated as having been, at the time of its commencement and at all times since that time, a separate trade carried on by the transferee. The trade carried on by the transferee after the time the transfer takes effect is to be treated as the same trade as that which, by virtue of sub-paragraph (2), it is treated as having carried on before that time. This paragraph is subject to paragraphs 13 and 17. a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 21 under which the property, rights or liabilities are transferred to the Secretary of State, or a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 25, “transferee”, in relation to a relevant transfer, means the Secretary of State, and If, disregarding any preparatory transactions, a company would be regarded for the purposes of section 179 of the 1992 Act (and, accordingly, of this paragraph) as ceasing to be a member of a group of companies by virtue of a relevant transfer, it is to be regarded for those purposes as so doing by virtue of the relevant transfer and not by virtue of any preparatory transactions. In this paragraph “preparatory transaction” means anything done under or by virtue of this Part of this Act for the purpose of initiating, advancing or facilitating the relevant transfer in question. Sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) apply for the purposes of Part 3 of the Capital Allowances Act, and the other provisions of that Act which are relevant to that Part, if there is a disposal by virtue of a relevant transfer of the relevant interest in— an industrial building or structure, or a qualifying hotel or a commercial building or structure. The disposal is to be treated as a sale of that relevant interest. The sale moneys in respect of that sale are to be taken— if a capital sum is received by the transferor or a person connected with the transferor by way of consideration or compensation in respect of the disposal, to be an amount equal to that capital sum, or if no such capital sum is received, to be nil. Sections 567 to 570 of that Act (sales treated as being for alternative amount) (sales between connected persons or without change of control) are not to have effect in relation to that sale. Sub-paragraph (6) applies for determining, in the case of plant or machinery which is treated for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act as disposed of by virtue of a relevant transfer, the amount which (in consequence of that disposal) is to be brought into account as the disposal value of that plant or machinery for the purposes of section 60 of that Act (meaning of “disposal value” and “disposal event”) (balancing adjustments). The amount is, subject to section 62 of that Act (general limit on amount of disposal value) to be taken— Sub-paragraph (8) applies if, in consequence of a disposal by virtue of a relevant transfer, a person is treated by section 188 of the Capital Allowances Act as ceasing to own a fixtureat any time. The amount which, in consequence of that disposal, is to be brought into account as the disposal value of the fixture for the purposes of section 60 of the Capital Allowances Act is, subject to section 62 of that Act, to be taken— if a capital sum is received by the transferor or a person connected with the transferor by way of consideration or compensation in respect of the disposal, to be an amount equal to that portion of that capital sum which falls (or, if the person to whom the disposal is made were entitled to an allowance, would fall) to be treated for the purposes of Part 2 of that Actas expenditure incurred by that person on the provision of the fixture, or Sub-paragraphs (3), (6) and (8) have effect despite any other provision of the Capital Allowances Act.

Sub-paragraph (5) applies for the purposes of section 781 of the 1988 Act if a lease, or any other interest in an asset, is granted by the transferor by virtue of provision made under paragraph 5 of Schedule 21 or paragraph 4 of Schedule 25. The grant is to be treated as made without any capital sum having been obtained in respect of the lease, or interest, by the transferor; and this is so despite section 783(4) of that Act. “relevant transfer” means a transfer of property, rights or liabilities by virtue of a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 21 under which the property, rights or liabilities are transferred to a franchise company, “transferee”, in relation to a relevant transfer, means the franchise company to whom the property, rights or liabilities are transferred, and Section 17 of the 1992 Act (disposals and acquisitions treated as made at market value) is not to have effect in relation to— a disposal constituted by a relevant transfer or a disposal by virtue of provision made under paragraph 5 of Schedule 21, or the acquisition made by the person to whom the disposal is made. But sub-paragraph (1) does not apply— if the person making the disposal is connected with the person making the acquisition, or in the case of a disposal by virtue of provision made under paragraph 5 of Schedule 21, if the disposal is made by or to a person other than the transferor or the transferee. If sub-paragraph (1) applies to the disposal of an asset, the disposal is to be taken (in relation to the person making the acquisition as well as the person making the disposal) to be— in a case where consideration in money or money’s worth is given by the person making the acquisition or on his behalf in respect of the vesting of the asset in him, for a consideration equal to the amount or value of that consideration, or in a case where no such consideration is given, for a consideration of nil. Sections 567 to 570 of that Act (sales treated as being for alternative amount) are not to have effect in relation to that sale. Sub-paragraph (6) applies for determining, in the case of plant or machinerywhich is treated for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Actas disposed of by virtue of a relevant transfer, the amount which (in consequence of that disposal) is to be brought into account as the disposal value of that plant or machineryfor the purposes of section 60 of that Act (meaning of “disposal value” and “disposal event”).

Sub-paragraph (7) applies for determining, in the case of plant or machinerywhich is treated for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act as disposed of by virtue of a relevant transfer, the amount which (in consequence of that disposal) is to be brought into account as the disposal value of that plant or machinery for the purposes of sections 60 of that Act (meaning of “disposal value” and “disposal event”).

Section 444 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 is not to have effect in a case where, as a result of a relevant transfer, the transferee replaces the transferor as a party to a loan relationship. Nothing in this Part of this Act and nothing done under it is to be regarded as a scheme or arrangement for the purposes of section 30 of the 1992 Act (tax-free benefits). The existence of the powers of the Secretary of State or the Authority under this Part of this Act is not to be regarded (and nothing else in that Part is to be regarded) as— constituting arrangements falling within section 154(3) or 155(3) of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (arrangements for transfer of company to another group or consortium), or constituting option arrangements for the purposes of section 173 of that Act.

No such scheme, and no instrument or agreement which is certified as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), is to be taken to be duly stamped unless— it has, in accordance with section 12 of the Stamp Act 1891, been stamped with a particular stamp denoting that it is not chargeable with that duty or that it is duly stamped, or it is stamped with the duty to which it would be liable, apart from this paragraph. Section 12 of the Finance Act 1895 is not to operate to require— the delivery to the Inland Revenue of a copy of this Act, or the payment of stamp duty under that section on any copy of this Act, and is not to apply in relation to an instrument on which, by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), stamp duty is not chargeable. An agreement to transfer chargeable securities, as defined in section 99 of the Finance Act 1986, to a person specified in sub-paragraph (2)(a) to (c) of paragraph 1 of Schedule 21 is not to give rise to a charge to stamp duty reserve tax if the agreement is made for the purposes of, or for purposes connected with, a scheme under that paragraph. For the purposes of stamp duty land tax, a land transaction which is effected by, or in pursuance of a scheme under paragraph 1 of Schedule 15, paragraph 31 of Schedule 17 or paragraph 1 of Schedule 19, 21 or 25 is exempt from charge. Relief under this paragraph must be claimed in a land transaction return or an amendment of such a return. “land transaction” has the meaning given by section 43(1) of the Finance Act 2003; “land transaction return” has the meaning given by section 76(1) of that Act.
