I am not familiar with Scots law—the Minister probably is not either—but the list of offences under subsection (3) looks uncommonly short. Does it encompass the same areas in law as that which applies in England and Wales?

I shall ensure that the hon. Gentleman receives the precise answer to that question. The Scottish offences with which the clause is concerned are the equivalent of those in England and Wales—it says here.

Question put and agreed to.
