The Parliament may, in the public interest and subject to such conditions as it may think fit, appoint persons to act as members for any specified period, in any case in which the number of members disabled by section 9 at any one time would be so great a proportion of the whole as to impede the transaction of business.
Nothing in section 9 precludes any member from taking part in the consideration or discussion of, or voting on, any question whether an application should be made to the Parliament for the exercise of the powers conferred by subsection (1).
Section 9 shall not apply to an interest in a contract, proposed contract, licence or other matter which a member has as a member of the public or to an interest in any matter relating to the terms on which the right to participate in any service is offered to the public.
Where a member has an indirect pecuniary interest in a contract, proposed contract, licence or other matter by reason only of a beneficial interest in securities of a company or other body, and —
the nominal value of those securities does not exceed one thousand dollars or one-thousandth of the total nominal value of the issued share capital of the company or other body, whichever is the lesser;
if the share capital is of more than one class, the total nominal value of shares of any one class in which the member has a beneficial interest does not exceed one-thousandth of the total issued share capital of that class, section 9 shall not prohibit the member from taking part in the consideration or discussion of the contract, proposed contract, licence or other matter or from voting on any question with respect to it, without prejudice, however, to the member's duty to disclose their interest.
