The power in section 126E(3) of the Transport Act 2000, under which this regulation is made, is to prescribe the time within which the Secretary of State considers that any QCS board should normally have published its report. Where the board does not publish the report within that time, the Commissioner must follow the procedure prescribed in section 126E(5) and (6) of that Act, which includes a requirement to prepare a statement of the time within which it is expected that the board will publish its report.
