HC Deb 07 December 1977 vol 940 c1387
Mr. Adley

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Although I realise that the Government probably wanted to avoid Question No. 14, in view of the comments of the hon. Member for Farnworth (Mr. Roper) and the hon. Member for Belper (Mr. MacFarquhar) yesterday, may I ask for guidance on grouping, because Questions Nos. 9 and 11 appear to be almost identical, and it would have saved time and made for much better debate if the Minister had advised you that he would prefer to take them together.

Mr. Speaker

The grouping of Questions has nothing to do with me; it has to do with Ministers.
