PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 565
Dr. Ambedkar: Sir, I would request you to hold over clause 7.
Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: We should have a clear knowledge beforehand as to what clauses would be taken up. In that case we can concentrate our attention on them.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I shall ask the Hon. Minister to state in the beginning of each day the particular clauses he proposes to hold over...
Dr. Ambedkar: I do not suppose I would be forced to take any clause out of order, except clauses 7 and probably 9. The rest of the clauses I am quite prepared to take in the order in which they are.
Shri Jhunjhunwala (Bihar) : When will these be taken up ?
Dr. Ambedkar: I propose to circulate the amendment this evening. If hon. Members would be prepared to take it up tomorrow I shall have no objection. But if they desire to have time, I shall take it up later. At any rate, I do not want to keep it back for a long time. I am prepared to give one day for Members to consider my amendment to clause 7.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I think it may be taken up conveniently day after tomorrow for the reason that hon. members may have sufficient time to study it. If the amendments are tabled sufficiently in time, the office will circulate them and hon. Members may come prepared with them.
Clause 8 was added to the Bill.
Clause 9. —( Disqualifications for membership of electoral colleges )
Dr. Ambedkar: I would like to hold it over.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Clause 9 is also held over.
Clause 10. —( Election to the Council of States )
Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: I beg to move:
In the heading over clause 10, for the word and Roman letter “Chapter I” substitute the word and Roman letter “Chapter V”.
