 When Members of the House of Representatives numbering not less than one third of their total number find it necessary for the benefit of the State, they do have the right to jointly request the President of the House to apply to the Monarch for convening an extraordinary session of the House. In this event, Lord ordains that the President of the House shall make an application [to the Monarch] and countersign His royal command.

During a session, [when] anyone files a criminal proceeding against a Member of the House, the court must, Lord says, obtain permission of the House before it can conduct the trial, and such trial must not obstruct the Member from attending a meeting.

Furthermore, the trial which the court has executed before there is a claim that the accused is a Member of the House of Representatives shall, Lord says, remain valid.

During a session, no Member of the House of Representatives shall be arrested or summoned to be confined, save where he is arrested in the commission of an offence. Nevertheless, this must be promptly reported to the President of the House and the President of the House may order the arrestee to be released from confinement.
