Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman has making some fundamental points very quickly; obviously a great deal more thought would be needed before they could be put into law. Nevertheless, a similar system to the one that he advocates exists in Scotland. Can he tell the Committee about the similarities and differences between the two systems? What are the pitfalls in the Scottish system that mean that it could not immediately be incorporated into the English system and thereby obviate the need for his amendment?
