Constituent Assembly Debates. Official Report Friday 3rd June 1949

Many of the Members here who spoke on that occasion remarked that they did not know what the privileges of the Members of the House of Commons were and some of the papers and some of the comments on this particular aspect of our work was that the Drafting Committee more or less shirked scainped" its work. [...] They could have at least drafted a schedule and incorporated it at the end of the Constitution to show what the privileges of the members of the House of Commons were. [...] Ambedkar whether the privileges of the Members of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom are in any way superior to or better than the privileges of the members of the House of Representatives of the United States? [...] We find that in the Draft a distinction was sought to be made between 846es in Part III of the First Schedule and States in Part I evidently on the pound of the difference in the political relations between the Statesin Part and the Centre and between the States in Part I and the Centre. [...] If we keep the words objected to the result would be to confine the power to grant certificate to errors as to the interprtation of the Constitution and it will therefore automatically prevent the High Court from granting certificate if there is an error of law which does not ivolve the interpretation of the Constitution.
