The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall be applicable irrespective of the relations existing between the Governments which the persons referred to represent and the Government of the United Kingdom and are without prejudice to any special immunities to which such persons may be entitled. 3. The privileges and immunities described in paragraph 1 of this Article shall not be accorded to any representative of the Government or to any national of the United Kingdom or those permanently resident. 4. Privileges and immunities are accorded to representatives in order to ensure complete independence in the exercise of their functions in connection with the 1992 Fund. It is expected that a Member will waive the immunity of its representative where the immunity would impede the course of justice and where it can be waived without prejudicing the purposes for which it was accorded. 5. In order to assist the Government to implement the provisions of this Article, the 1992 Fund shall as far as possible inform the Government of the names of representatives in advance of their arrival in the United Kingdom.
