(This note is not part of the Order)
By this Order, the Secretary of State for Transport designates the bodies which may grant permits in relation to the use of small buses under section 19 of the Transport Act 1985 (article 3(1) and Schedule). It replaces the Minibus (Designated Bodies) Order 1980 (S.I. 1980/1356) which had effect by virtue of section 42 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 (c. 14). That order has lapsed with the repeal of that section by Schedule 8 of the Transport Act 1985 (Transport Act 1985 (Commencement No. 7) Order 1987, S.I. 1987/1228). Traffic commissioners may grant similar permits. A designated body may grant a permit to itself and to the bodies specified in relation to it in the Schedule (article 3(2)). Article 4 requires each designated body to make returns in respect of permits granted by it.
1968 c. 73; sub-section (1) of section 9 was substituted by section 57(1) of the Transport Act 1985.
Section 9A was inserted by section 57(2) of the Transport Act 1985.
