Commentary Part 3: Bus Services Section 34: Continuation of schemes for areas in Wales: procedure
110.This section inserts a new section 131D into the TA 2000, setting out the procedure to be followed where an authority in Wales wishes for a scheme to continue in operation beyond its initial period. Earlier sections of the TA 2000 are applied with modifications, depending on whether or not the proposal to continue the scheme is an exempt continuation proposal. The arrangements in Wales (section 131D) differ from those in England (section 131C), in particular as a consequence of the differing functions performed by the Welsh Ministers (in Wales) and by QCS boards (in England).
