Clause 2
Local Transport Bill [Lords]
11:45 am
Rosie Winterton (Minister of State, Department for Transport; Doncaster Central, Labour)
First, the transition is allowed for in the Bill, and it is a fixed 12-month period. The actual period of the fixed term from then on has yet to be determined by the Secretary of State and will be decided after consultation. If a fixed-term period comes to an end, the senior traffic commissioner will revert to being an ordinary traffic commissioner, as is the case at the moment.
