PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 767
of fact there is need for the measure. I am grateful to Dr. Ambekar for having accepted this motion of mine, though for reasons which according to him are based on various other considerations. But according to me, it was accepted because the arguments are very convincing.
Dr. Ambedkar: The only request I would make of the hon. Member is to change the date to some day after the
5th of September, because I will be out of station for two or three days.
Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava: Any date suitable to the Hon. Minister, I am willing to accept.
Dr. Deshmukh: Sir ............
Dr. Ambedkar: Why make any speech now ?
Mr. Deputy Speaker: It is a sort of technical subject and it is better it goes to the Select Committee straightaway.
Dr. Deshmukh: But I gave notice of the motion and I will take not more than two minutes.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Shall we keep the date as ......
Dr. Ambedkar: I suggest the 7th of September.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Amendment moved:
“That the Bill be referred to a Select Committee consisting of Dr. Bakshi Tek Chand, Dr. Punjabrao Shamrao Deshmukh, Shri Deshbandhu Gupta, Shri Gokulbhai Daulatram Bhatt, Pandit Mukut Bihari Lal Bhargava, Shri Prabhu Dayal Himatsingka, Shri Arun Chandraguha, Shri Rohini Kumar Chaudhuri, Shri Banarsi Prasad Jhunjhunwala, Shri R. K. Sidhva, Shri C. Subramaniam, and the Mover, with instructions to report before the 7th September 1951.”
Dr. Deshmukh is a member of the Select Committee and following the previous rule, he will try to throw light on the Bill in the Select Committee and not speak here. Therefore I put the question straight to the House now.
The motion was adopted.
