(1)Where under section 16(4) of this Act, the Scottish Ministers approve a proposed quality contract scheme, the local transport authority who proposed it may, not later than 6 months after the date of the approval, make it as approved.

(2)Not later than 14 days after the date on which a scheme is made, the authority shall—

(a)give notice in at least one local newspaper circulating in the area to which the scheme relates; and

(b)send a copy of the scheme to the traffic commissioner.

(3)The notice shall state—

(a)that the scheme has been made; and

(b)where, in what form, and at what times, a copy of the scheme may be inspected.

(4)If a quality contract scheme includes provision such as is mentioned in section 14(5)(b) of this Act varying a quality partnership scheme which was made by two or more authorities so that it no longer so relates, such of those authorities as did not make the quality contract scheme may—

(a)subject to the provision so made, if they decide that it is appropriate to do so, vary that quality partnership scheme; or

(b)if all operators of local services who have given an undertaking such as is mentioned in section 8(4)(a) of this Act consent to the revocation of the scheme (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), revoke that quality partnership scheme;

and subsections (3) and (4) of section 9 of this Act shall apply to a variation or revocation under this section as those subsections apply to a variation or revocation under that section.

(5)For the purposes of subsection (4) above, any reference to a local transport authority shall be construed as including a reference to the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers.
