The Chair has a casting vote.\n(3) A Board may decide that a particular function may to any specified extent (including in its totality), and subject to any specified conditions, be discharged on its behalf by any one or more of its members, unless the function is one to which paragraph (4) applies.\n(4) This paragraph applies to the Board’s function of developing procedures to co-ordinate the activities of representative bodies under regulation 3(1)(c).\n(5) Where paragraph (4) applies, a decision in connection with the function may only be taken by unanimous vote of the members.\n(6) A Board must by majority decision appoint one of its members to be its Chair. In making that decision the members shall have regard to the need to appoint a Chair who has sufficient expertise and standing to command the respect of the representative bodies.\n(7) The Chair’s appointment shall come to an end if—\n(a) he or she was appointed for a fixed term and that term expires;\n(b) he or she resigns;\n(c) he or she is no longer a member of the Board;\n(d) the members by majority decision so decide.\n(8) Subject to the above provisions, a Board is to decide on its own procedures.",
