This Order further amends the Section 19 Minibus (Designated Bodies) Order 1987.

Four bodies cease to be designated under section 19 of the Transport Act 1985, the current names of five designated bodies are substituted for those given in the 1987 Order and the current addresses of nine designated bodies are so substituted (articles 4, 6 and 7).

County and county borough councils in Wales (established under section 21 of the Local Government Act 1972, as substituted by section 2 of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994) are newly designated as bodies which can grant permits in relation to the use of small buses under section 19 of the 1985 Act (article 5).

Joint Scout and Guide units become a class of body to whom the Scout Association may grant such permits (article 8).
