409PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES
Dr. Ambedkar: Only two other provinces remain, namely
U.P. and Punjab. Several amendments have come just now
and I have not had time to apply mind to them. If the parties
concerned are prepared to go by the original arrangements then
I am prepared to proceed further. But I find that some changes
have been introduced and I must have a clear understanding
of what is sought to be done. I personally think that half an
hour in the afternoon would be more than enough for both
the Provinces.
Shri Shiv Charan Lai: There might be difficulty then
with regard to the quorum, because Members of other States
may be absent from the House.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Only two more orders relating to
U.P. and the Punjab are outstanding. If there is unanimity in
the House we can meet as late as possible, for I do not want
to give the impression that I have muzzled them if anybody
wants to speak.
Shri Amolakh Chand: Can we not adjourn for half an
hour and then continue for the simple reason that at 4-30
p.m. Members may not come?
Mr. Deputy Speaker: The Minister must have sufficient
time to consider the amendments.
Shri T. T. Krishnamachari (Madras): Is there no other
business ?
Mr. Deputy Speaker: No other business except passing
these two orders.
The House then adjourned till Half Past Four of the Clock.
The House re-assembled at Half Past Four of the clock
[MR. SPEAKER in the Chair ]
PUNJAB ORDER
Mr. Speaker: We will now proceed with the Punjab Order.
May I know the Nos. of the agreed amendments ? I think we
will follow the same procedure as in the morning.
