Public Works Committee Act 1969

A question arising at a meeting of the Committee shall be determined by a majority of the votes of the members present and voting.

The member presiding at a meeting of the Committee has a deliberative vote and, in the event of an equality of votes, a casting vote.

Where the members present at a meeting of the Committee do not vote unanimously on a question, there shall, if a member so requires, be recorded in the minutes and in the Committee’s report:

the names of the members who voted and the manner in which each such member voted;

the names of the members who abstained from voting and the fact that they abstained from voting; and

if the question was determined by the casting vote of the member presiding—the name of the member presiding and the fact that the question was so determined.
