Entry No. 20 - Page 964

DRAFT CONSTITUTION 931

to withdraw their amendment on the assurance that the Drafting Committee in the revising stage will go into the matter and if any such entry can be usefully put in any of the Lists, they will consider that matter and bring a proposal before the House. At this stage, I find it rather difficult to accept it because I have not had sufficient time to devote myself to a full consideration of the subject which is necessary before such an entry is introduced.

Mr. Vice-President : Does Dr. Deshmukh wish to press his amendment?

Dr. P. S. Deshmukh : I would like to request Dr. Ambedkar at least to say that by the time my next amendment for in independent entry is reached, he will be able to say something more favourable than he has been able to say now.

The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I will consider the whole matter.

[The amendment was withdrawn. Entry 6 was added to the Concurrent List.]

ENTRY 15

*The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :

“that for entry 15 of List III, the following entry be substituted :—

‘15. Actionable wrongs’.”

The words which I seek to omit are really unnecessary.

(The motion was adopted. Entry 15 as amended was added to the Concurrent List.)


NEW ENTRY 17-A

†The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :

“That after entry 17 of List III, the following entry be inserted :—

[Entry 17-A as amended was added to the Concurrent List.]

ENTRY 20

‡The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move:

“That for entry 20, the following entry be submitted:

‘20. Drugs and poisons, subject to the provisions in entry 62 of List I with respect to opium’.”

(Mr. Kamath did not move his amendment.)

(The amendment was adopted.)
