“Revocation, suspension and curtailment of operators’ licences
26.—(1) A traffic commissioner may, subject to section 29, direct that an operator’s licence be revoked, suspended or curtailed on the grounds that—

(ii)a statement of expectation of the licence-holder made for those purposes has not been fulfilled.
(2) In this Act references to directing that an operator’s licence be curtailed are references to directing, with effect for the remainder of the duration of the licence or for any shorter period—
(a)that one or more of the vehicles specified in the licence be removed from it;
(b)that a provision such as is mentioned in section 5(2) or 6(1) or (2)(b) be included in the licence.
(3) Where a direction suspending or curtailing a licence has been given under subsection (1), a traffic commissioner may at any time—
(a)cancel the direction, or
(b)with the consent of the licence-holder, vary the direction.
(4) Where an operator’s licence is suspended under this section, the licence remains in force during the time of its suspension subject to the limitation that no vehicles are authorised to be used under it.”.]

Impact Assessments
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
