Traffic Management Act 2004
Lord Hanningfield asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many consultations on the permits scheme contained within the Traffic Management Act 2004 have taken place; how many are still to take place; and what is the reason for any duplication that may have occurred during this process.[HL7533]
Lord Davies of Oldham: A consultation entitled “The Traffic Management Act 2004 secondary legislation on Notices, Directions and Restrictions Permit Schemes and Fixed Penalty Notices and Revision of Section 74 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (Charges for Unreasonably Prolonged Occupation of the Highway)” was issued on 1 February 2005. However, there were no draft regulations for permit schemes as part of this consultation.
Responses to this consultation were received which included wide-ranging views on the concept of permit schemes. The Permits Working Group was reconvened to consider these responses and further consider proposals for the operation of permit schemes. The requirement to consult on draft regulations means that a further consultation, which is to commence shortly, will be necessary.
