HC Deb 30 March 1976 vol 908 c1115

Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Milk (Eradication of Brucellosis) (Variation) Scheme 1976 (S.I., 1976, No. 387) be referred to a Standing Committee on Statutory Instruments, etc.—[Mr. Snape.]

Mr. David Steel

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The House is about to deal with the Statutory Instrument on the eradication of brucellosis. As I understand the matter, there is an identical Scottish Statutory Instrument on the same point. May I be told why the two matters have not been bracketed? If we agree to the motion on the Order Paper, is it in order for the Standing Committee on Statutory Instruments to look also at the identical Scottish Statutory Instrument?

Mr. Speaker

I must follow what is on the Order Paper.

Question put and agreed to.
