§ MR. COCHRANE (Ayrshire, N.)To ask the Lord-Advocate whether he will issue a memorandum with reference to the Summary Jurisdiction (Scotland) Bill, setting out those parts of the Bill which are amendments of the existing law in different type from those parts 829 which are merely a consolidation of existing statutes.
(Answered by Mr. Thomas Shaw.) I should hardly have thought this necessary. I presume, however, that my hon. friend, while not desiring detailed explanations of all the changes that are proposed, is anxious to have in a convenient form a reference to the sources of the various clauses in the existing legislation with indications of new or amended provisions. I think this request is not unreasonable, and I shall be very glad to have a White Paper containing this information issued at once. I should value my hon. friend's active support of this controversial Bill, and this, I trust, he will now be able to give.
