Mr. KingWe now move into the world of Scottish law, which may be strange to you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Although I am Scottish by birth, it is a total mystery to me. We are anxious that the Bill, and particularly the relevant parts of the 1968 Act, should apply to Scotland.
The amendment deals with a matter of great interest to my hon. Friends, and particularly to my right hon. Friend the Member for Renfrewshire, East (Miss Harvie Anderson). I thought that we had got the matter right on Report, but I should have known that there were bound to be second thoughts. I understand that the Scottish lawyers are satisfied that the amendment will put the Bill into correct shape.
§ Question put and agreed to.
