1070 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART Vv the Prime Minister or other Minister of State as his deputy, or failing him the Vice-Chairman, shall preside and shall have a casting vote in case of equality. The Commission shall advise the Prime Minister upon all matters relating to the administration of or the legislation for the territories. Any member who dissents from a decision of the majority may have the reasons for his dissent recorded in the minutes, The members shall have access to all official papers regarding the territories and may deliberate on any matter relating thereto, and advise the Prime Minister thereon. Before coming to a decision on any matter relating to the ad- ministration other than routine or of legislation for the territories, the Prime Minister must deposit the papers with the Secretary of the Commission, and a meeting of the Commission must be convened to discuss the matter. If the dispatch of some communication appears to be urgent, the Prime Minister may sanction it without submitting it to a meeting of the Commission, but he must record his reasons and give notice thereof to every member. If in any case the Prime Minister does not accept their recommendations or proposes to act contrary to their advice, he must state his views to the Commission, who will be at liberty to place on record the reasons for their recommendation or advice. The record shall then be laid by the Prime Minister before the Governor-General in Council, whose decision shall be finall The Commission, however, are entitled to demand that the record of their dissent from the decision or action taken, and the reasons therefor, shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament, unless in any case the Governor-General in Council expresses in a formal minute the opinion that the publication of such record and reasons would be gravely detrimental to the public interests. * This appeal is from Caesar to Caesar, and merely allows the possibility of intervention by the Governor-General on Imperial grounds, an interven- tion hardly ever likely to be actually interposed, as ex hypothesi, when the control of the Protectorates is surrendered it will be surrendered for good, in reliance on the discretion of the Union Government.
