Paragraph 65 Quorum

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

No business (except that of adjournment) shall be transacted at a meeting of the Executive Council if fewer than four members are present, at least two of whom are elected members.

(2)

Where it is not possible to elect a temporary member to satisfy subsection (1), the requirements of that subsection shall be deemed to be satisfied if the person presiding and two members of the Executive Council, at least one of whom is an elected member, are present at the meeting, and they and members absent from but participating in the meeting are able to communicate with each other in a manner that all agree is appropriate in the circumstances; but no decision of the Council shall be taken unless the person presiding is satisfied that the manner of communication allows all those taking part to hear and be heard and that all have seen any documents relevant to the proposed decision.
