HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 c604

Lords amendment: No. 35, in page 35, line 30, at end insert— (6) In Scotland, when any proceedings are brought under this secton, in addition to the service on the defender of a copy of the summons or initial writ initiating the action of a copy thereof shall be sent as soon as practicable to the Commission in a manner to be prescribed by Act of Sederunt.

Mr. John

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this amendment we are to discuss Lords Amendment No. 64.

Mr. John

These amendments concern Scotland, and particularly sheriff court proceedings. The rule-making powers which are capable of being incorporated within the county court rules in England and Wales are narrower in Scotland and have to be incorporated in the face of the Bill.

Question put and agreed to.
