PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 231
Dr. Ambedkar : Yes, but it is on a separate list—that was why I was wondering ………,
Mr. Speaker : Clause 10-B was held over. I shall put that in due course after disposing of the other amendments, but it is just possible that I may forget, in which case hon. Members will invite my attention to it.
Now do we proceed to clause 10-B ?
Some hon. Members : Let us finish it.
Mr. Speaker : If it is the desire of Members to finish it, I have no objection.
Some hon. Members : No, Sir, we shall adjourn now.
Mr. Speaker : I myself have been feeling a little diffident about it. Though the amendment may be formal, yet it is a long amendment and hon. Members should have an opportunity of seeing and studying it. Therefore, we might now adjourn and re-assemble tomorrow at 2 p.m. And I may say that the longer we discuss this tomorrow the shorter the time for the other Bill because the guillotine for the other Bill will be applied at 6 p.m. sharp. We are not sitting day after tomorrow.
The House then adjourned till Two of the Clock on Friday, the 22nd December 1950.
REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE (AMENDMENT) BILL— Contd.
New Clauses 10A and 10B
- Mr. Speaker : We will now proceed with the further consideration of the Bill to amend the Representation of the People Act. We were discussing yesterday clauses 10A and
10B and certain amendments moved by hon. Members.
The Minister of Law (Dr. Ambedkar) : Sir, I drew your attention to the fact that there was an amendment standing in my name. It is amendment No. 2 in Supplementary List No. 7. I should like to move it at this stage. The first amendment was moved by my friend Mr. Gupta. The second has remained undisposed of. May I move it ?
