Schedule 2
118.Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act includes financial provision about trunk road charging schemes.
119.Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Schedule 2 to the Act make consequential amendments to Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act in relation to the changes made to section 167 of that Act by section 22 of the Act.
120.Paragraph 13 of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act makes provision about the proceeds of trunk road charging schemes made under section 167(2) of the 2000 Act. Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of Schedule 2 to the Act amend paragraph 13 of Schedule 12 and insert new paragraphs 14 and 15 into Schedule 12 in respect of trunk road charging schemes made by the Welsh Ministers under section 167(3) of the 2000 Act. These amendments and new provisions mean that:
If the Secretary of State makes a trunk road charging scheme under section 167(2) of the 2000 Act, paragraph 13 of Schedule 12 to that Act applies to that scheme.
If the Welsh Ministers make a trunk road charging scheme under section 167(3) of the 2000 Act either wholly or partially for the purpose of reducing or limiting air pollution, new paragraph 14 of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act applies to that scheme. This means that, as soon as reasonably practicable after the scheme is made, the Welsh Ministers must publish a statement confirming the matters listed in new paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act. This statement must also be laid before the Senedd Cymru as soon as reasonably practicable after the scheme is made.
If the Welsh Ministers make a trunk road charging scheme under section 167(3) of the 2000 Act that is not wholly or partially for the purpose of reducing or limiting air pollution, new paragraph 15 of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act applies to that scheme. This provision has the same effect as paragraph 13 of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act in relation to such schemes.
121.Paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to the Act amends section 197 of the 2000 Act in order to specify the Senedd procedures that apply to regulations made under new paragraph 15 of Schedule 12 to the 2000 Act. It does so by setting out, in full, the procedural requirements that apply to regulations made by the Welsh Ministers under Part 3 of that Act.
