 (2) Where:
 (a) a public office becomes a relevant office within the meaning of subsection 7(3AA) and is held by a person on a full‑time basis; or
 (b) a public office, being such a relevant office, comes into existence and is held by a person on a full‑time basis; or
 (c) a substantial change in the functions or duties to be performed by the holder of a public office has occurred since the Tribunal last determined the recreation leave entitlement of a full‑time holder of that office;
the Tribunal must, as soon as practicable but without prejudice to its obligations under subsection (1), inquire into and determine the recreation leave entitlements of a full‑time holder of that office.
 (3) Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to the holder of a public office who is a member of, or a candidate for election to, either House of the Parliament.
 (4) Where the Tribunal inquires into, and determines, the recreation leave entitlements of a full‑time holder of a public office in accordance with subsection (2), the Tribunal may also inquire into, and either determine or report on, any matter that is, or is considered by it to be, significantly related to those entitlements.
