(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Public Transport Users' Committee for Scotland Order 2006 to specify a range for the number of members of the Committee of 10 to 15 (including the convener) and to ensure that 3 of those members will be disabled persons. These amendments are made to reflect the fact that the Committee will now consider matters formerly considered by the Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland.
