'Schedule [Control of Pollution in Scotland] to this Act shall have effect to make provision for Scotland in relation to the prevention of pollution of water.'.—[Lord James Douglas-Hamilton.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

Mr. Speaker

With this we can also discuss Government amendment No. 88.

Mr. Wallace

The Minister did not answer one of the points that I raised when we were discussing the previous new clause. As he has a few seconds to spare, perhaps he will explain how much money will be given to my constituency to implement the changes that are proposed.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

I will look into the matter thoroughly and write to the hon. Gentleman. Alternatively, I will willingly meet him if he wishes to come to see me to discuss the matter.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.

It being Seven o'clock, MR. SPEAKER proceeded, pursuant to the order [6 February] and the Resolution this day, to put forthwith the Question on a new clause moved by a member of the Government.
