§ The right hon. Member for Penrith and The Border (Mr. Maclean) had the Floor on 14 May.
§ Mr. David Maclean (Penrith and The Border)I was concerned about non-application of the Bill's provisions to Northern Ireland, as the Bill applies them to northern Scotland—I mean to all of Scotland. If they applied only to northern Scotland, my relatives would not be so worried about them. I was trying to develop the argument that there is an inconsistency in this part of the Bill, as Scotland now has its own Parliament.
§ It being half-past Two o'clock, the debate stood adjourned.
§ Debate to be resumed on Friday 23 July.
