This section lists the commencement orders yet to be applied to the whole Act.

Where applicable the commencement orders are listed under two headings, firstly those that bring some part of the Act you are viewing into force and secondly, those that bring into force legislation that affects some part of the legislation you are viewing. If you are viewing a prospective version or there is a prospective version available there may be commencement orders listed here that are relevant to the provision you are viewing.

In section 4 (power of local authority to provide bus shelters), in subsection (4) (definitions), for the words from “and the references” onwards substitute “and “public service vehicle” has the meaning which it would have in Part I of the Transport Act 1980 if in section 2(1) of that Act the words “(other than a tramcar)” were omitted.”.
In section 7(1) (interpretation), after the definition of “local authority” insert— “public service vehicle” has the meaning which it would have in Part I of the Transport Act 1980 if in section 2(1) of that Act the words “(other than a tramcar)” were omitted. ”.
