Dear Johan, What happened is well documented. Churchill adjourned the small War Cabinet to speak to the larger gathering of Ministers outside the War Cabinet and made an impassioned plea to keep fighting that resulted in a standing ovation from his political colleagues. This clever move strengthened his hand and allowed him to win the debate in the War Cabinet. So no vote needed.

Was this resolved by discussion only or did the Cabinet actually vote on the matter? If the answer is that it was resolved with a vote, I'd be delighted if I could be pointed to a source.
