These are drafting amendments to clarify and improve the wording in section 7(2)(a)(b) and (c) which concern the scope of the licensing regulations made by the NTA. Previously, these paragraphs simply referred to licences in respect of SPSV vehicles and drivers in respect of booking or dispatch services. The revised wording refers to the requirement to hold these licences. I am advised that this is a better legal drafting of the underlying intention which remains unchanged.
