214.Subsection (1) provides that section 40 does not apply to Scotland.
215.Subsection (2) inserts new section 40A into the 1991 Act. The new section provides the procedure for the sheriff to follow if he is satisfied that it is appropriate to commit a liable person to prison. The new section is comparable in its scope to section 40 of the 1991 Act for England and Wales (see the introduction to section 16).
