The provisos to Sections. 7 and 17 shall not apply.—[The Lord Advocate.]

Clause brought up, and read the first time.

Mr. MUNRO

I beg to move, That the Clause be read a second time."

I move the Clause to give effect to a promise I made to the hon. Member for Leith during the course of the Committee stage. I propose to add to the Clause as it stands on the Paper the words "the provisos to Section 7 and 17 shall not apply." The effect of that will be that in Scotland it will not be necessary to go to the Board of Trade for consent to any prosecution there. In Scotland all prosecutions are Crown prosecutions, and that justifies my proposal.

Question put, and agreed to.

Clause read a second time, and added to the Bill.
