I shall not repeat the explanations of clauses 40 to 44 in the explanatory notes. However, it may be helpful if I inform hon. Members that, on Report, the Government will move a small number of minor technical amendments to clauses 41 to 43 to keep them in line with minor changes being made to   the parallel Scottish Bill, which is being examined by the Scottish Parliament. I shall explain the amendments on Report.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 40 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 41 to 44 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
