PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 789
hon. Members who were away in connection with Select Committees. Select Committee work is as good as work in this Parliament. As far as Shri Sidhva is concerned, he need not complain that Government have put him in several Select Committees. Why should he be anxious to serve on more than one Select Committee ?
Shri Sidhva : We did not approach for Select Committee membership.
Dr. Ambedkar: The work of the Select Committes and the house will be faciliated if care is taken, while nominating people to Select Committees, to see that the same people are not nominated to two Committees.
Shri Sidhva: Quite right.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: In future, care should be taken to see that Members are spread over various Select Committees instead of clogging or requesting one Member to be on more than one Select Committee. Even if a mistake is committed by the sponsor of a Bill in putting the same Member again, the Member concerned might consider whether it is proper for him to accept membership of more than one Select Committee and not complain to the House that he has no time to attend meetings.
