Mr. Peter Fraser

Now that we have reached the Third Reading of the Bill, which I have introduced, I thank my hon. Friends who have been here to support me in taking the Bill through the House. I also thank the Countryside Commission for Scotland for the support which it has given me in putting together the Bill.

I thank the hon. Member for Glasgow, Garscadden (Mr. Dewar) for the constructive approach he has taken to the Bill and for the criticisms he has made. I include also my thanks to the hon. Member for Berwick and East Lothian (Mr. Home Robertson), who sponsored the Bill and who supported it wholeheartedly in Committee. With the happy advent of a child in his family, he is not able to be here today.

Question put and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
