Given the amount of coverage this Bill receives on the various news outlets you might be excused for thinking that this Bill applied to Scotland as well.  It does not.  That said, it is still of interest and relevance to us here in Scotland as it shows the way that the debate is moving in other parts of the UK.

The Bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons last week and is due to move to the Lords in October.

These articles, firstly from the BBC and also from the Guardian, outline the main points of debate including within the UK coalition government.
