Transport (Scotland) Act 2019

Provision of service information: further provision - inserted section 6ZC

267.This section enables the Scottish Ministers to make regulations to provide further detail about the duties and processes in inserted sections 6ZA and 6ZB and also to provide for exceptions where the core duty to provide information will not apply.

268.Before making regulations under this section, the Scottish Ministers must carry out a consultation with the various groups who are most likely to be affected by changes to the system, including those who are representative of operators, passenger groups and affected authorities.

269.Subsection (3) amends section 43 of the 2001 Act (power to obtain information about local services). This amendment makes clear that if information requested under section 43 is provided with information requested under section 6ZA(2) of the 1985 Act, the exemption from the prohibition on disclosure of information in section 43(5)(f) does not apply and the information provided cannot be disclosed by virtue of that provision.
