(a)the appointment is a re-appointment of an individual who was removed from the office in accordance with sub-paragraph (2), and

(b)no other person has been appointed to the office in the period between the individual’s removal and re-appointment.

(4)If this sub-paragraph applies to an appointment—

(a)the appointment is not to be counted for the purpose of paragraph 20(4), and
