Section 22: Boards for proposed schemes for areas in England
88.This section inserts a new section 126A into the TA 2000, which provides for the constitution of “QCS boards”, whose remit will be to consider proposals submitted by English local transport authorities to make quality contracts schemes. Any such board will be chaired by a traffic commissioner (normally designated by the senior traffic commissioner), with two other members drawn from a panel of persons appointed by the Secretary of State. Wherever appropriate, the commissioner designated to chair the board will be the most appropriate one by reason of any particular knowledge or experience that commissioner may have.
*The post of senior traffic commissioner is established by section 3, described above.
