majority report

Committee's main conclusion

A majority report is the official findings or recommendations issued by the larger faction of a committee, commission, or investigating body when members disagree.

It represents the prevailing view, as opposed to a minority report filed by dissenters: The majority report recommended new safety regulations, while two members dissented.

The term appears most often in legislative and governmental contexts.
