Rather unhappily, my initial briefing says that the Bill extends to the entirety of the UK. However, I believe that the Sewel motion is still pending, so there has been no further progress since the last time we discussed the point.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 34 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clause 35 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
