Commentary Part 1: The traffic commissioners Section 6: Consequential amendments
58.This section empowers the Secretary of State, in secondary legislation, to make any necessary consequential changes to the Local Transport Act 2008 and to other legislation (primary and secondary) to give full effect to the new provisions about traffic commissioners. This will be necessary in particular to reflect the new jurisdiction of traffic commissioners and the removal of the link in England and Wales between particular commissioners and specific traffic areas. The power is limited, in so far as it extends to Scotland, to reserved matters. Orders made under this provision will be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
