We consider the influence on a group G of the condition that every infinite set of cyclic subgroups of G contains a pair that permute and prove (Theorem 1) that finitely generated soluble groups with this condition are centre-by-finite, and (Theorem 2) that torsion free groups satisfying the condition are abelian.
