DRAFT CONSTITUTION 935
ENTRY 28
- Mr. Vice-President : I will now put the question.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I want to say a word. The words “trade union” with regard to welfare of labour have a very wide connotation and may include trade unions not only of industrial organisations but may also include trade unions of agricultural labour. That being so, I am rather doubtful whether by introducing the word ‘industrial’ here, we are not trying to limit the scope and meaning of the term ‘trade union’. But I am not moving any amendment. I would like to reserve an opportunity to the Drafting Committee to examine the term and to consider this. I want the entry to stand as it is now. I have expressed my doubt that in view of the wide connotation of ‘trade union’, a part of the entry may require amendment.
Mr. Vice-President: Subject to what Dr. Ambedkar says, I put entry
28 to vote. The question is :
“That entry 28 stand part of List III.
(The motion was adopted.)
Entry 28 was added to the Concurrent List.
NEW ENTRY 28-A
† The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I move :
“That after entry 28 of List III, the following new entry be inserted :—
‘28-A. Commercial and industrial monopolies, combines and trusts’.”
The motion was adopted. Entry 28-A was added to the Concurrent List.
ENTRY 29
‡ Mr. Vice-President: As there is no amendment to entry 29, I will put it to vote.
Entry 29 was added to the Concurrent List.
Dr. P. S. Deshmukh : Sir, a part of this amendment of mine was very kindly accepted yesterday. But, so far as the wording is concerned, we have yet to decide it. When we were discussing the State List, it was decided that we should transfer ‘adulteration food’ to List III and therefore it would probably be relevant if we take up the wording of this entry at this stage. At the same time I would like that the first amendment of mine should also be accepted.
