(1)A creditors' meeting summoned under section 257 shall decide whether to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement.
(2)The meeting may approve the proposed voluntary arrangement with modifications, but shall not do so unless the debtor consents to each modification.
(3)The modifications subject to which the proposed voluntary arrangement may be approved may include one conferring the functions proposed to be conferred on the nominee on another person qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the debtor.
But they shall not include any modification by virtue of which the proposal ceases to be a proposal such as is mentioned in section 253.
(4)The meeting shall not approve any proposal or modification which affects the right of a secured creditor of the debtor to enforce his security, except with the concurrence of the creditor concerned.

(a)any preferential debt of the debtor is to be paid otherwise than in priority to such of his debts as are not preferential debts, or
(b)a preferential creditor of the debtor is to be paid an amount in respect of a preferential debt that bears to that debt a smaller proportion than is borne to another preferential debt by the amount that is to be paid in respect of that other debt.
However, the meeting may approve such a proposal or modification with the concurrence of the preferential creditor concerned.
(6)Subject as above, the meeting shall be conducted in accordance with the rules.
(7)In this section " preferential debt" has the meaning given by section 386 in Part XII; and " preferential creditor " is to be construed accordingly.
