Schedule 1: Enforcement action under part 1: procedure Part 1- Unilateral variation, suspension or withdrawal of authorisation Paragraph 1: Ordinary procedure
This paragraph places a requirement on the Secretary of State to issue a notice to the authorised self-driving entity (ASDE) before varying, suspending or withdrawing an automated vehicle authorisation. This notice will state the Secretary of State’s intention to vary, suspend or withdraw authorisation, with an explanation for the intention, and specifies by when and how representations may be made by the ASDE. This provides an opportunity for authorised self-driving entities to respond to the proposed variation, suspension or withdrawal before it takes effect.
	In the event the Secretary of State does decide to vary, suspend or withdraw authorisation the Secretary of State must, alongside the issue of notice, provide reasons for the decision.
