29.(1) Where (whether on the application of any council or of any councillor
or in any other case) the Ministry is satisfied with respect to any pecuniary
interest giving rise or likely to give rise to a disability under
section 28(1) that

(a)the number of councillors who would for the time being be subject to
disability on account of the pecuniary interest constitutes so great a
proportion of the whole as to impede the transaction of the business of the
council; or

(b)in any other case, it is, having regard to all circumstances appearing to
the Ministry to be relevant, in the interests of the persons represented on a
council that the pecuniary interest should not give rise to a disability under
section 28;

(2) Section 28 shall, in its application in relation to any council in respect
of which a direction is made by the Ministry under subsection (1), have effect
subject to and in accordance with that direction.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in section 28, a councillor shall not be subject
to any duty, disability or penalty under that section by reason of his taking
