I suspect that I may have been the origin of some of the confusion of the hon. Member for Eddisbury by referring to this group of amendments and new clauses in a block rather than two separate groups. Amendment No. 5 and new clause 6 refer to the geographical scope of the Bill. However, I note that amendment No. 7 would extend the geographical scope of the Bill to Northern Ireland.

The amendment and the new clause are designed to set out clearly the geographical scope of the Bill, and I commend them to the Committee.
