MACS AND PTUC DEBATE IN THE TRANSPORT, INFRASTRUCTURE AND CLIMATE COMMITTEE TUESDAY 10th JUNE 2008
Following a debate at the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee the Scottish Government decided not to proceed with the necessary legislation required for the amalgamation of the Public Transport Users' Committee for Scotland (PTUC) and the Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland (MACS). Two Revocation Statutory Instruments were subsequently laid in Parliament and come into effect on 14 June. The revocations mean that the PTUC and MACS will continue to exist as separate advisory NDPBs.
