Dr. Ambedkar: I want clause 167 to be held over. Clauses 168 and 169 may be put to the House, as there are no amendments to them.
Clauses 168 and 169 were added to the Bill.
Dr. Ambedkar: Sir, I want the House to be adjourned and I do want to say also that it may not be possible for me to be ready tomorrow to take up the Bill again. I therefore suggest that the House might consider the possibility of taking some other Bill tomorrow and I shall be ready thereafter. There is I understand, the Boilers Bill which is a small Bill and can be taken up tomorrow. ( Some Hon. Members : Why not today ?) The Member in charge is not ready as he has had no notice.
