(4) The Institution of
Surveyors—

any time during the period of supervision, supervise the practical experience
of any other person for the purposes of this Part (or, if they did, the
supervision was of 1 other person only and that other person had already
completed at least 1 year of supervised practical experience); and

commencement of the period, have already completed at least 1 year of
supervised practical experience).
(6) On receipt of a
proposal under subregulation (5), the Institution of Surveyors must
decide whether or not it agrees to the proposal and give notice of that
decision to the applicant as soon as reasonably practicable.
