“That in amendment No. 425, in the Explanation to clause (1) of the proposed article 264A, the words ‘for the purpose of consumption in that State’ be deleted, and the following new clause be added at the end :–‘(4) The Union Parliament shall have power to amend the laws in respect of taxes on sale or purchase of goods with a view to bring uniformity in the laws made by the various States of the Union or in the interests of the Union as a whole, provided that no Bill for such amendment shall be moved in Parliament without the prior permission of the President, and the President before giving such permission shall obtain the views of the Governments of the various States concerned.'”
