§ As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

§ 4.42 p.m.
§ Mr. Dennis Canavan (West Stirlingshire)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I note from the provisional list of amendments that Amendment No. 161 has not been selected. Will you advise me how we may discuss the possible extension of the Bill to cover abolition of the unjust system of tied cottages in Scotland, for otherwise many of our constituents who are forced to live like medieval serfs will have to continue in this situation?
§ Mr. SpeakerI can help the hon. Gentleman. I understand that the Bill does not apply to Scotland. In any case, the selection of amendments has already been made.
