Thanks spoon, I knew it would be. Oh dear.Welcome to the forum mate.
Multiple circuits into 1 breaker is against the regs. (314.4)
If you look at 314.4, each circuit has to be separate as to not enagise accidentally.there's no reg. that prohibits 2 radial branches becoming 1 circuit in the same MCB. as long as the MCB rating is selected according to the circuit cables.

if 2 radials are connected to the same breaker, they then becone 1 circuit. see definition of a circuit. ( page 26. 1st line. 18th Ed. BS7671)
So, according to BS7671, you can and cannot have >1 radial off the same OCPD.
