HC Deb 09 May 2000 vol 349 c799

'.—(1) The relevant references to the authority or authorities in relation to a quality partnership scheme—

  1. (a) include a local transport authority if it has been varied so that it relates to that authority's area, but
  2. (b) do not include a local transport authority if it has been varied so that it no longer relates to that authority's area.

(2) 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 101) include that authority.

(3) The relevant references (apart from that in section 97(1)) to the authority or authorities in relation to a quality partnership scheme—

  1. (a) include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it specifies traffic regulation facilities, but
  2. (b) do not include a traffic regulation authority if it has been varied so that it no longer specifies such facilities.

(4) 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 101) include that authority.

(5) And if (although the scheme specifies facilities which are traffic regulation facilities in relation to a traffic regulation authority)—

  1. (a) 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each of the traffic regulation orders, required to be made by that authority for the provision of those facilities has been revoked, and
  2. (b) 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 101) do not include that authority.

(6) For the purposes of this section the relevant references are those in—

  1. (a) section 97(1) to (3),
  2. (b) sections 98 to 102, and
  3. (c) section 108(5B),
and paragraph 27(3) of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

(7) In this section "traffic regulation authority" means—

  1. (a) a metropolitan district council,
  2. (b) the Secretary of State, or
  3. (c) the National Assembly for Wales.

(8) 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.'.—[Mr. Robert Ainsworth.]
