Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)
With the leave of the House, I should like to take motions 6 to 12 together—
John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. May I suggest that, while some of the motions might be unexceptionable, motions 9 and 10 might excite controversy and that it might therefore be better to take those together, with the others in a different grouping?
Madam Deputy Speaker
In that case, I will take them all separately.
