Part 3: Bus Services

Section 23:  Advice by boards or their Commissioners

89.This section inserts a new section 126B into the TA 2000, empowering QCS boards to give advice of a procedural nature when requested to do so. If such a request is made before the second and third members of the board have been appointed from the Secretary of State’s panel (see notes on section 22 above), the Commissioner appointed to chair the board is empowered to exercise those powers on behalf of the board. The Secretary of State may also make regulations about the giving of advice under new section 126B, in order to secure propriety in the giving of such advice.
