The conduct of our business between Meetings.
I dont know what you mean by it.

I take the words from the Ordinance, that we have 16316
powers under the Standing Orders for the conduct of our
business between Meetings.
That means giving effect to the decisions of the Board,
I think. It was simply deleted because it is the head
of the Department that has to deputs the respective
duties.
16317
I understand that what you mean is this: That under
Ordinance 1 of 1903, the Board arranged for the whole work of the Department between Meetings.
A.
You.

A.
Yes.
20
Q.
He did not take any instructions from the Board, or 16310
the majority of the Board if he was outvoted. He would
not necessarily take that as binding on him. He would
act as he thought fit, and if necessary consult the
Government. He would not accept a ruling of the Board,
that certain things should be done outside a Board
Meeting ?
