49.Section 22 requires the Welsh Ministers to notify a traffic commissioner when a local bus service contract is entered into or terminated; and when a local bus service permit is granted, or revoked or suspended. The notification must be given as soon as reasonably practicable after the event in question. Traffic commissioners are responsible for enforcing the restriction on local bus services established under Part 3 of the Act. Ensuring they have access to information relating to the operation of local bus services will enable them to take appropriate action where required.
