The fees for accessibility certificates are specified in regulation 7 of the 2000 Regulations. Regulation 2 amends those fees as follows—
(a)the prescribed fee for an application for an accessibility certificate on the first application in respect of the vehicle where the vehicle is required to comply with only one of Schedules 1, 2 or 3 is increased by 48.3% from £29 to £43;
(b)the prescribed fee for an application for an accessibility certificate on the first application in respect of the vehicle where the vehicle is required to comply with either Schedules 1 and 2 or Schedules 1 and 3 is increased by 49.1% from £57 to £85;
