HC Deb 09 July 1984 vol 63 c814
Mr. Hurd

I beg to move amendment No. 81, in page 29, line 37, leave out `an offence under section 24 or 26 above' and insert 'a relevant offence'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Government amendments Nos. 82, 84, 86, 87 and 90.

Mr. Hurd

These are technical amendments to ensure that similar enforcement provisions in relation to cable offences of obscenity and incitement to racial hatred apply in Scotland as in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made:

No. 52, in page 30, line 7, after `below' insert— '"relevant offence" means an offence under section 26 above or—

  1. (a) in relation to England and Wales and Northern Ireland, an offence under section 24 above; or
  2. (b) in relation to Scotland, an offence under section 51 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982;'.—[Mr. Hurd.]
