15 Drunkeness. U.K.

(1)Section 43 of the M1Army Act 1955 and section 43 of the M2Air Force Act 1955 shall each be amended—

(a)by omitting the proviso to subsection (1) (under which the maximum term of imprisonment for drunkenness is reduced from two years to six months in the case of an offence committed by a warrant officer, non-commissioned officer, soldier or airman who is neither on active service nor on duty), and

(b)by substituting in subsection (2) (under which one test of drunkenness is whether a person is unfit to be entrusted with his duty or any duty he may be called upon to perform) for the words “he may be called upon to perform” the words “he might reasonably expect to be called upon to perform”.

(2)Section 28 of the M3Naval Discipline Act 1957 shall be amended so as to correspond with the provisions referred to in subsection (1) above as amended by that subsection, that is to say, by inserting after the word “might” the words “reasonably expect to”.
