  1. Immunities of chief representative of a Commonwealth country

Subject to the provisions of this Act, a chief representative of a Commonwealth country shall be entitled to the like immunity from suit and legal process, and the like inviolability of residence and official archives as are accorded to a foreign envoy.

(2)       Whenever it appears to the Minister that any person ceases or begins to be qualified for inclusion in a list compiled under subsection (1) of this section, he may amend the list and cause a notice of the amendment or, if he thinks fit, an amended list to be published in the Federal Gazette.

(3)       Every list or notice published under this section in relation to any conference shall include a statement of the date from which the list or amendment takes or took effect.
