PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 787
Corporations Bill, but because I was engaged on another Committee I could not be present in the House and I took your permission for that. I have since understood that those amendments were not allowed to be moved which you were pleased to tell me would be allowed. So, it is happening like this—Members of the Select Committee are not to blame.
Dr. Ambedkar: I am not blaming.
Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava: I would rather, under these circumstances, beg of Dr. Ambedkar to kindly give up this Bill. This Bill is not important—it does not require......
Dr. Ambedkar: I am prepared to give every Bill that is standing in my name.
Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava: I would suggest that this Bill be dropped.
- Mr. Deputy Speaker: So far as the Select Committee on the Notaries Bill is concerned, due to causes beyond their control hon. Members could not be present. They had to attend various, other Select Committees and the meetings could not be held for want of quorum. I would request the Hon. Minister to make another effort in this direction.
Dr. Ambedkar: I am in the hands of the House.
Dr. Tek Chand (Punjab) : May I suggest that the time for submitting the report of this Select Committee may be extended up to the 6th ? The time expires today.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: I shall take notice of the oral motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to extend the time ?
Dr. Tek Chand : We shall meet on the 4th or 5th and by this time the other Select Committees will have finished their work. This is only half an hour’s work. Therefore, I am making the suggestion for extension of time.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Does the Hon. Minister agree with the proposal for extension of time ?
