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 Supplementary Fund.

In order to assist the Government to implement the provisions of this Article, the Supplementary Fund shall as far as possible inform the Government of the names of representatives in advance of their arrival in the United Kingdom.
