I seek further clarification of what the hon. Member for Edinburgh, North and Leith (Mr. Lazarowicz) has just spoken about. I accept what the Minister says. I simply wonder whether clause 13(2) takes precedence over what was said earlier, because it states:

''In the application of this Part in relation to Scotland any reference to a tramway shall be disregarded.''

I wonder whether lawyers will have a lot of fun over that, or whether the Minister's assurance in Committee will be sufficient.
