20.Section 6 refers to section 102 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 1987 which enables a Minister of the Crown, by order, to specify what matters are to be taken into account when fixing fees and charges. Such an order requires affirmative procedure in the Commons. The Department of Transport (Fees) Order 1988 (SI 1988/643) includes a provision relating to fees chargeable by virtue of section 46 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. It will require amendment as a result of the Act. This section enables an order which relates only to section 46, and which is made within twelve months after Royal Assent, to be made subject to negative procedure.
