(2) The number of Senators shall be three or such greater number (not exceeding two-thirds of the number of Representatives) as may be prescribed by Parliament:
Provided that at any time when a person who is a Senator holds the office of Attorney-General the number of Senators shall be increased by one.
(3) If a person who is not a member of the National Assembly is elected to be Speaker they shall be a member of the Assembly.
