(4) Any participation by a member or co-opted member of a relevant authority in any business which is prohibited by the mandatory provisions is not a failure to comply with the authority’s code of conduct if the member or co-opted member has acted in accordance with a dispensation from the prohibition granted by the authority’s standards committee[F1 , or by the standards committee of another relevant authority,] in accordance with regulations made under subsection (5).

(5) The [F2 Welsh Ministers] may prescribe in regulations the

(ii) specifies the address of that office, and

[F7 (iii) states that the register is available to be viewed electronically, and
