418 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

Dr. Ambedkar: It is in the discretion of the Speaker.

Mr. Speaker: The House has accepted certain modifications. The House is going to give powers to the Speaker to make amendments of a consequential or formal character because, as was said, I believe, in the morning, there may be a misdescription of a boundary. Instead of “east” it might have been stated as “west”. Only such amendments will be put through. There can be no further amendments now. Even by the unanimous decision of the House the Chair cannot go beyond the decisions of the House. The Chair will do only what is absolutely necessary to give effect to the decisions already arrived at by the House. That is the spirit in which the consequential amendments will take place.
