I fully admit that this is more or less of a drafting nature and therefore I should explain the reasons which induced me to suggest this amendment and then leave it to the Drafting Committee for final consideration. The entry as moved by Dr. Ambedkar says “import or export across customs frontiers“. I fail to see the real purport of the word “or”. Are the subjects “imports” and “exports” alternative? Should it be import or export, or should it be import and export? The form in which it is moved makes the entry “either import or export“. It would seem from the alternative way of expression that if the Union will have “import” it cannot have “export” and vice versa. I do not think that this contingency was intentional but it is a drafting error which should be corrected.
