This revision extends the time limit of the authorisation and also includes additional PRVs in Schedule No.1 (Motor Vehicles) Tranche 2 and Schedule No.2 (Trailers) Tranche 2.

This revision corrects the PRV serial numbers for motor vehicle entry numbers 14, 18 and 40 in Schedule No. 1.

This revision corrects the registration number of motor vehicle entry number 25 and the PRV serial number of motor vehicle entry number 30 in Schedule No. 1; adds three new motor vehicle entries (68, 69 and 70) to Schedule No. 1; corrects the identification number of trailer entry number 13 and the PRV serial number of trailer entry number 16 in Schedule No. 2; and removes trailer entry number 15 from Schedule No. 2.
