Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Road Transport (International Passenger Services) Regulations 1984. They provide that

(a)the fee of £110 prescribed by regulation 14(3) payable on application for an authorisation under the Regulations shall be increased to £125, and

(b)the fee of £25 prescribed by regulation 14(4) in respect of each year of validity of a regular, or special regular, service authorisation shall be payable before the authorisation is issued rather than when the application for the authorisation is made.

They also amend the 1984 Regulations for the avoidance of doubt as consequence of the coming into force by virtue of the Transport Act 1985 (Commencement No. 6) Order 1986 (S.I. 1986/1794 (C.63)) of the repeal of section 30 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 by section 139(3) of the Transport Act 1985. The requirement of section 30 of the 1981 Act was replaced by the requirement of section 6 of the 1985 Act for the registration of certain local services outside London.

(3)

1981 c. 14; sections 60 and 61 are extended by sections 134 and 135 of the Transport Act 1985 (c. 67).

S.I. 1984/748.
