## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order modifies Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46). Schedule 5 defines reserved matters for the purposes of that Act (matters which are outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament).
Article 2 provides an exception to the road transport reservation at Section E1 of Part 2 of Schedule 5. This exception gives the Scottish Parliament competence to legislate in relation to the regulation of the description of motor vehicles and trailers which transport pupils and students to and from places where they receive education or training (for example schools and colleges). However, it does not extend the Scottish Parliament’s legislative competence to set technical standards for such vehicles or trailers where those would differ from the standards which might otherwise apply to them.
