    Page 83, line 29, leave out "Sections 86 and" and insert "Sections 85 to"

The noble Lord said: My Lords, this is a minor technical amendment to Clause 91(5). It has the effect of specifying that the effect of those subsections of Clause 85—that is, liability for wrongful acts of constables and so forth—which amend the Police (Scotland) Act 1967, will come into force on whatever day is appointed by Scottish Ministers. It is no more or less than that and I beg to move.
