2008 CHAPTER 26

Commentary

Part 3: Bus Services

Section 37:  Variation or revocation of scheme

113.This section amends section 132 of the TA 2000, which sets out a procedure for varying or revoking a quality contracts scheme. The amendments make provision for certain variations (“exempt variations”) to be exempt from the requirement to be approved by the Welsh Ministers (in Wales) or the requirements relating to QCS boards (in England). They provide for an additional situation in which an authority may revoke a scheme. The amended section 132 also sets out revised procedures to be followed where an authority wishes to vary or revoke a quality contracts scheme.

114.The procedures for variation mirror those applying for the making and continuation of a scheme, but with certain modifications.

115.In England, the amendments also provide that an authority may revoke a scheme without the need for approval, or for consultation with a QCS board.
