Given the answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Normanton (Mr. O'Brien), which makes it look as if there will not be an extension of the debate on the poll tax, and given the fact that the Bill will be in operation in Scotland, may we have a debate to discuss the Serious Constitutional and Democratic Crisis that has arisen as a result of the production of that legislation, which will cut the franchise, destroy civil liberties and bring about the end of local government as we have known it in the past?

Those combined sources show that we are heading for a Democratic and Constitutional Crisis over the state of the franchise.
