§ Mr. Speaker
Will the hon. Gentleman raise that matter after I have completed putting the Question?

Motion made, and Question put, That Commission Document No. R/3139/75 relating to Articles made from Precious Metals be referred to a Standing Committee on Statutory Instruments, &c.—[Mr. Foot.]

§ Mr. Spearing
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I understand that you are proposing, with the leave of the House, to put the three motions together. I should like to point out that the first two motions are related to EEC Documents, whereas the third motion is not so related.
