House of Commons (Participation) Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way. On the probation service, unless I am wrong—if I am, I am sure that the hon. Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Mr. MacNeil) will correct me—some members of the Scottish National party voted in the Division in question according to their base argument that the trade unions had asked them to vote against the measure. Does that not indicate the difficulty that some Members might have in defining what applies to Scotland, and what has implications for Scotland and what does not?
