Is this similar to the scheme that has just been stopped in England and Wales?

Ignoring its in Jockistan, at what point is it more viable (like some do here) to go down the 16+1 LWB minibus route (D1 licence) and a relic of a LDV Convoy worth all of a grand and VOSA's problem rather than all the LA crap and having to buy £30K worth of WAV and only be able to carry 6/7.....?

A disclosure check was only good for the time it was issued. The PVG scheme will be updated on a regular basis and unfortunately it will cost £18 annually to update.
I am not to happy with the cost either but surely the protection of kids and the vulnerable is paramount.

The relevence is that there are no crb or other checks done on the drivers of minibuses.

Of course, but isn't that what CRBs presently do? :?

I am know expert on this but i think there will be a lot more cross referencing with the police, courts, council and other agency's and like i said will be updated regularly.
