86 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
and I shall pass it on to him. It was published in 1922 and probably it gives the best assistance in this matter. My hon. Friend will have his right to speak and here I am only expressing my tentative conclusion.
Shri Kamath : The Hon. Minister will have good sleep to night.
Shrimati Durgabai (Madras) : What is the position in regard to the All-India Nursing Council constituted under an Act of Parliament ?
Dr. Ambedkar : Probably that would not involve any disqualification. Now I come to membership of Advisory Councils or committees constituted under an Act of Parliament or appointed by a statutory corporation. Take for instance the Damodar Valley Corporation. As I said, I am not certain about it also. ( Interruption ) I am not advising any particular client. I am very sorry to say that, I am making a general statement. If the hon. lady is interested in the Nursing Council she had better go to a lawyer and obtain his advice.
Shri Sidhva : That is not fair.
Shrimati Durgabai : You said that Coal Mines Safety (Stowing) Act does not come under the disqualification ............
Dr. Ambedkar : I looked it up overnight and found out what the provisions were.
Then I come to membership of committees, Commissions or Councils or other similar bodies constituted by Government for specific purposes by resolution or order, for instance, membership of the Governing Body of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, membership of the Fiscal Commission, membership of the Government Trading Enquiry Committee ( Interruption ) I do not want to hide anything—membership of the Special Recruitment Board, representatives or delegates to United Nations Organisation or any international conference or association. I feel rather doubtful about membership of committees, commissions or councils or other similar bodies constituted by Government for a specified purpose by resolution or by order.
