Part 4: Foreign Activities and Foreign Influence Registration Scheme Schedule 15: Exemptions Employees etc
Paragraph 7(1) provides that where an exemption is conferred on a Person ("P"), the following persons also benefit from that exemption: a person who holds office under P, a person who is an employee or other member of staff of P, or a person the Secretary of State reasonably considers to be exercising functions on behalf of P. This exemption ensures that employees and staff members benefit from the same exemptions as the entities for whom they work.
	Paragraph 7(2) clarifies that where the person makes a misrepresentation about their activities or the capacity in which they are acting, and "P" is a foreign power, the person does not benefit from the exemption provided by paragraph 7(1)(a) (i.e. and therefore do not benefit from any exemption that is available to P).
	Paragraph 7(3) provides that a misrepresentation is a representation that a reasonable person would consider to be false or misleading in a material way.
	Paragraph 7(4) provides that a misrepresentation could be made by making a false or misleading statement. It could also be made by any other kind of conduct, including an omission (for example, an individual failing to mention details which means they represent themselves in a misleading way). The subsection sets out that this misrepresentation may be made either explicitly or implicitly.
	Paragraph 7(5) sets some illustrative examples of actions that may constitute a misrepresentation. They include a misrepresentation as to the person’s identity or purpose, or presenting information in a way that amounts to a misrepresentation (even if some of the information is true).
	Paragraph 8 gives the Secretary of the State the power to create further exemptions to any part of the Scheme, by regulation.
