# The Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 (Commencement No. 4 and Transitional Provisions) Order 1995, Paragraph 6: Conversion of old-style licences


(1) The traffic commissioner by whom an old-style licence was issued may at any time after the appointed day vary the licence by directing—
(a) that any statement of intent having effect as an undertaking by virtue of paragraph 4 above immediately before the variation, or a statement that appears to the traffic commissioner to be to the like effect, be recorded as an undertaking in the licence; or
(b) that an alteration of any other description be made which appears to the traffic commissioner to be consequential to the coming into force of the 1994 Act;
or both of those things.
(2) The powers under paragraph (1) above shall be exercised in such a way as appears to the traffic commissioner—
(a) to put the licence into a form that would have been appropriate had the 1994 Act been in force at the time it was granted; and
(b) to leave the holder of the licence in the same position as he was immediately before the licence is varied or as near to that position as is practicable using those powers while meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) above.
(3) A traffic commissioner shall not exercise his powers under this paragraph without first giving the holder of the licence an opportunity to make representations to the commissioner with respect to the proposed variation.
