CHAIRMAN- I ask that the ballot papers for Round 1 be now put in envelopes so we ensure there is no duplication of votes.

We will proceed to Round 2. The procedure will be the same but, before you vote, I ask all delegates to cross out Model B. We now once again must vote. You have one vote. You can vote for Model A, Model C or Model D or you can vote against by voting `No Model' and crossing out `Abstain' or you can abstain by crossing out `No Model'. I ask all delegates to record their vote and to sign their ballot paper.

 

Delegates recorded their vote.

 

CHAIRMAN- I ask those delegates who voted for Model A to rise in their places or otherwise indicate.

 

Delegates submitted their ballot papers.

CHAIRMAN- Is there any delegate who has voted for model A whose vote has not been recorded? There are a number of delegates whose votes have not yet been taken. I ask those delegates who voted in favour of Model C to please rise or otherwise indicate and have their ballot papers collected.

 

Delegates submitted their ballot papers.

 

CHAIRMAN- Has anybody who voted for Model C not had their ballot paper collected? I ask those delegates who voted for Model D to please rise in their places or otherwise indicate.

 

Delegates submitted their ballot papers.

 

CHAIRMAN- Is there any person who voted for Model D whose vote has not been collected? I ask those who voted Against to please rise in their places or otherwise indicate.

 

Delegates submitted their ballot papers.

CHAIRMAN- Is there any delegate who has voted Against whose vote has not been counted? Are there any abstentions? There being none, I ask the tellers to proceed with the count. The count having been taken, the tallies are: Model A, 30 votes; Model B is eliminated, is not counted and is not there; Model C, 31 votes; Model D, 58 votes; and 32 votes Against. That adds up to 151 again, so the count is right. I declare on that basis that Model A is now eliminated. I repeat: Model A received 30 votes; Model C, 31 votes; Model D, 58 votes; those Against, 32 votes.

That gives us the 151 delegates who are voting.
