Orders of the Day — Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill

House of Commons, 11 June 1999.

EFFECT OF FORFEITURE ORDERS.

Michael Martin (Deputy Speaker, Glasgow Springburn)

I remind the House that with this we are discussing the following amendments: No. 37, in clause 5, page 3, line 42, at end insert— `(c) in the case of businesses or parts of businesses carried on solely or primarily in Northern Ireland, the Lands Tribunal for Northern Ireland.'.

David Maclean (Conservative, Penrith and The Border)

I was concerned about non-application of the Bill's provisions to Northern Ireland, as the Bill applies them to northern Scotland—I mean to all of Scotland. If they applied only to northern Scotland, my relatives would not be so worried about them. I was trying to develop the argument that there is an inconsistency in this part of the Bill, as Scotland now has its own Parliament.
