912 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
I find on page 12 under the Demand for Labour:
“Creation of the Directorate of Unskilled Labour Supply for coordination of the work of the provincial and regional labour supply committees and the labour supply depots.”
I think, Sir, there is a repetition. I should like to know what is the difference between the two.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (Labour Member) : That demand was quite different. It was for the pay of officers, it refers to the salaries of officers, while this is quite a different thing. This is on account of opening of certain labour supply committees, labour supply bureaux and labour supply depots. This is the cost incurred in regard to workmen and that refers only to salaries of officers of the Secretariat.
Mr. T. S. Avinashilingam Chettiar : I will read it again:
Due to setting up of additional Provincial and Regional Labour Supply Committees ............”
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : This is for coordination, that is done in the Secretariat. The item on page 12 refers to salary of officers working in the Secretariat, while this demand refers to work done outside the Secretariat.
Mr. President (The Honourable Sir Abdur Rahim): The question is:
“That a supplementary sum not exceeding Rs. 10,00,000 be granted to the Governor General in Council on the 31st day of March, 1945 in respect of ‘Miscellaneous Departments’.”
The motion was adopted.
