Section 113D Advanced quality partnership schemes: registration restrictionsF1C1C2

(1)

If the authority or authorities making an advanced quality partnership scheme consider that it is necessary or expedient for any restrictions to be imposed on the registration of—

(a)

any local services, or

(b)

any local services of a particular description,

they may impose those restrictions (“registration restrictions”) by specifying or describing them in the scheme.

(2)

Any restrictions so imposed must be for the purpose of preventing or restricting—

(a)

the provision of local services, or

(b)

the variation or withdrawal of local services,

in cases where the authority or authorities consider that any such provision, or (as the case may be) variation or withdrawal, of services might be detrimental to the provision of services under the scheme.

(3)

Where a scheme includes any registration restrictions by virtue of subsection (1), it must also specify the criteria (“registration criteria”) by reference to which a traffic commissioner is to decide whether or not to accept an application for registration.

(4)

In this section “registration”, in relation to any service—

(a)

means registration of prescribed particulars of the service under section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 (registration of local services), and

(b)

includes a reference to the variation or cancellation of any such registration.
