A seminal result due to Wall states that if $x$ is normal to a given base $b$ , then so is $rx+s$ for any rational numbers $r,s$ with $r\neq 0$ . We show that a stronger result is true for normality with respect to the continued fraction expansion. In particular, suppose $a,b,c,d\in \mathbb{Z}$ with $ad-bc\neq 0$ . Then if $x$ is continued fraction normal, so is $(ax+b)/(cx+d)$ .
