It is practically a drafting amendment; but I submit that the draft that I am suggesting would be better in clause (2) of article 114 as it would be amended by the amendment of the Drafting Committee, the text would be that ‘the decision of the person presiding as to amendments being inadmissible under this clause shall be final’. I want to make it clear that the decision of the person presiding as to the admissibility of the amendments under this clause shall be final. In fact the official amendment is that the decision of the person presiding as to whether the amendment is ‘inadmissible’ is final. I should submit the ruling or the decision of the person presiding as to whether it is ‘admissible’ or inadmissible’, both, should be final and therefore it should be expressed rather more generally that the decision ‘as to the admissibility of the amendment’ shall be final. It will mean that his decision that the amendment is ‘admissible’ is final, as also his decision that it is ‘inadmissible’ is also final.
