The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred on the National Assembly for Wales by sections 119, 122 and 160(1) (a) (b) and (c) of the Transport Act 2000(1) and now vested in them.

The Welsh Ministers have consulted the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council in accordance with paragraph 24 of Schedule 7 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007(2).

(1)

2000 c. 38. Section 122 was amended by section 18 of the Local Transport Act 2008 (c. 26). The power to make Regulations under section 122 of the Transport Act 2000 rests with the “appropriate national authority”, as defined in section 162(1) of that Act. The appropriate national authority is the National Assembly for Wales whose functions were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006.

(2)

2007 c. 15. The effect of paragraph 24(1) of Schedule 7 to this Act is that the power of the Welsh Ministers to make procedural rules for any listed tribunal can be exercised only after consultation with the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council. The traffic commissioners for England and Wales are a listed tribunal for the purposes of paragraph 24(1) by virtue of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (Listed Tribunals) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/2951).
