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.
