29.—(1) The Chief Inspector may register a person under paragraph 28 subject to such conditions as he considers it appropriate to impose.

(3) Where a person is registered subject to conditions imposed under sub-paragraph (1), he shall be taken to be authorised to act as a registered inspector only so far as those conditions permit.

(4) The Chief Inspector may, as he considers it appropriate,—

(a) remove conditions that have been imposed under sub-paragraph (1); or

(b) if a condition of paragraph (5) is met, vary any condition subject to which the registration of an inspector has effect or impose conditions or, as the case may be, further conditions upon that registration.

(5) The conditions are—

(a) that he is satisfied that—

(i) any of the conditions set out in paragraph 9(2) of Schedule 26 are satisfied with respect to that inspector; but

(ii) in the circumstances of the case it would be appropriate not to remove the name of the inspector from the register; or

(b) that it would otherwise be in the public interest for him to do so.

(6) Nothing done by the Chief Inspector pursuant to sub-paragraph (4) shall prejudice any subsequent consideration or action by him under that sub-paragraph or under paragraph 30.
