  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Minibus (Designated Bodies) Order 1987 and contains some provisions made in consequence of the abolition of the Inner London Education Authority (“ILEA”).\nWhere a vehicle is used under a permit granted under section 19 of the Transport Act 1985, for the carriage of passengers for hire or reward the operator does not need an operator’s licence and the driver need not be the holder of a public service vehicle driver’s licence, provided that certain requirements are met. The Secretary of State can by order designate bodies entitled to grant a permit. A body so designated can grant a permit to itself or to any other body to whom in accordance with the order, it is entitled to grant a permit. A number of bodies were designated by the 1987 Order. This Order adds the following bodies to the designated list:\nThe Central Council of Probation Committees;\nFriends Trusts Limited;\nThe Girls' Brigade;\nThe Royal Society for the Protection of Birds;\nThe Scripture Union — Scotland; and TocH.\nIn each case, the other bodies to whom a permit can be granted are specified.\nThe 1987 Order contained provisons designating ILEA for the purposes of section 19. ILEA ceased to exist on the 1st of April 1990. Those provisions are amended so that in cases where ILEA could have granted a permit before it was abolished on the 1st of April 1990 permits can now be granted by specified local authorities.\nArticle 5 provides that any permit issued by ILEA is to continue to have effect as if it had been granted by the local authority which would have power to issue such a permit under the 1987 Order as now amended.",
