(4) Where—
(a)an inquiry is to be held under this Order in connection with any matter; and
(b)in the case of some other matter required or authorised (whether by this Order or by any other statutory provision) to be the subject of an inquiry (“the other inquiry”), it appears to the Department concerned that the matters are so far cognate that they should be considered together,
the Department concerned may direct that the inquiries be held concurrently or combined as one inquiry.
(5) In paragraph (4) “the Department concerned” means the Department, or where causing the other inquiry to be held is a function of some other Department, the Department and that other Department acting jointly.
