Explanation:

The Speaker will not vote in the first instance but shall have and exercise a casting vote in the case of equality of votes. Hence Statement I is correct. • The absence of a vote in the first instance will make the position of the Speaker impartial as in England, and the casting vote is given to him only to resolve a deadlock. Statement II is correct and is the correct explanation of Statement I. • The Speaker will have the final power to maintain order within the House of the People and to interpret its Rules of Procedure.

In the absence of a quorum, it will be the duty of the Speaker to adjourn the House or to suspend the meeting until there is a quorum.
