Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]Contribution
However, subsections (4) to (6) are “must” duties for the Secretary of State to publish anything they have done under the preceding subsections (1) to (3) to consult with DPTAC, and stating which bodies are covered by this.

There is nothing in there about implementation, which explains why, for example, bus companies have been very slow to implement visual, digital and audio information.
