There is no connection whatever. There is a reference in amendment No. 27 to section 121 but that section does not exist in the Bill, as it stands, but it is amendment No. 244. Therefore, they could not have a clearer connection. One amendment refers to the hypothetical new amendment, so they should be grouped together but amendment No. 27 should not be grouped with two amendments with which it is not related. The groupings here are completely daft. I ask that we deal with amendments Nos. 26 and 29 now and that amendments Nos. 27, 239 and 244 be taken together. That is the logical thing to do when those three amendments refer to each other.
