Section 14: Notice and consultation requirements
71.Section 14 amends section 115 of the TA 2000 (notice and consultation requirements) to require any notice which is given about proposals to make a scheme to include details of any proposed restrictions on the registration of local services, and the criteria against which any applications to register such services will be judged (see paragraph 70 above). Subsection (3) also amends the description of “relevant local authority” that must be consulted if affected by the scheme, so as to include non-metropolitan as well as metropolitan district councils. This would bring the provision into line with the consultation requirements for quality contracts schemes under section 125 of the TA 2000.
