562 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
at a training centre ; one has been earmarked for a post but cannot at present be traced; and the last man was returned from England for misconduct without completing his training.
It is too early yet to say whether any of the returned trainees are taking part in Trade Union Affairs.
Mr. Govind V. Deshmukh : May I know if their unemployment is not due to the fact that they are taking part in Trade Union movements ?
The Honourable Dr. B.R. Ambedkar : I do not think so. I do not see any evidence of unemployment among the trainees.
Mr. Govind V. Deshmukh : My question was “ if all the ‘Bcvin boys’ have got employment ” and the answer was that all the ‘Bevin boys’ who have returned are not employed, that some are being tested, that some are employed that some are sent back to their old jobs. I want to put this question whether their unemployment is in any way due to the fact that they are taking interest in trade union activities.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: I am sure it is not.
Mr. Govind V. Deshmukh : What sort of misconduct was reported against one of the ‘Bevin boys ’ ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: I have not got the information at present. I want notice.
Mr. Govind V. Deshmukh : Has it got anything to do with his labour activities ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I would not like to spoil the chances of this young man, did not the Government think it advisable to make enquiries about what that misconduct was ?
Mr. Govind V. Deshmukh : When this case of misconduct was reported against this young man, did not the Government think it advisable to make enquiries about what that misconduct was ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I have no doubt that Government have got the information about the sort of misconduct he was found guilty of. I have not got the fact with me at present. I want notice.
Dr. Sir Zkuiddin Ahmad : May I know whether the ‘Bevin boys’ come from the labouring classes ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: The Department is examining that aspect of the case.
