Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The London Regional Transport (Penalty Fares) Act 1992, which provides for a system of penalty fares on the services of London Regional Transport, was applied with modifications to the Croydon Tramlink by the Croydon Tramlink (Penalty Fares) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/476) (“the 2000 Order”). Schedule 17 to the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (“Schedule 17”), however, provides for the repeal of the 1992 Act and its replacement by similar provisions applying to the services of Transport for London. Article 2(1) applies Schedule 17 to tram services provided on the Croydon Tramlink subject to the modifications in Schedule 1. The modifications are, by virtue of article 2(2) to be treated as if they were included in an Order made by the Mayor of London under paragraph 9 of Schedule 17. In consequence of article 2, Article 3 revokes the 2000 Order and repeals section 45 of the Croydon Tramlink Act 1994 under which it was made. Article 4 introduces Schedule 2 which sets out the text of Schedule 17 as modified by this Order in relation to the Tramlink.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
