4. Vacating of his or her seat by member of House of Assembly on account of Government contract
The seat of a member of the House of Assembly shall become vacant if any circumstances arise that, if he or she were not a member of the House of Assembly, would cause him or her, subject to section 3(3), to be disqualified for election to the House by virtue of that section.
However, if in the circumstances it appears to the House of Assembly to be just so to do, the House may exempt any member from vacating his or her seat under the provisions of this section, if such member, before making a contract referred to in section 3(1), or before or as soon as practicable after otherwise becoming a party to it, or otherwise interested in it (whether through a firm in which he or she is a partner or through a body corporate which he or she controls), discloses to the House the nature of such contract and his or her interest in it. Also, the seat of a person being a member who is required to travel on government duty to a place outside the Territory shall not become vacant by reason only of his or her being granted an advance in anticipation of subsistence allowance provided the advance is repaid in full within one month of the member's return to the Territory.
