Clause 13 - Extent
Railways and Transport Safety Bill

Mr Don Foster (Bath, Liberal Democrat)
On a point of order, Mr. Hurst. I am a little confused about the implications of new clause 5, which will follow our deliberations on clause 13. Subsection (1) states:
''This Part extends to the whole of the United Kingdom.''
Exceptions to that provision are given in subsections (2) and (3). New clause 5 would exclude that part of the channel tunnel that is currently part of the United Kingdom. If it were successful, would we find ourselves in some difficulty?
