If any person in a written statement tendered in evidence in criminal proceedings by virtue of section F1... 9 of this Act F6... wilfully makes a statement material in those proceedings which he knows to be false or does not believe to be true, he shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine or both.

The M1Perjury Act 1911 shall have effect as if this section were contained in that Act.

Any person who in any public place is guilty, while drunk, of disorderly behaviour F5... shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding F3level 3 on the standard scale.

The foregoing subsection shall have effect instead of any corresponding provision contained in section 12 of the M2Licensing Act 1872, section 58 of the M3Metropolitan Police Act 1839, section 37 of the M4City of London Police Act 1839, and section 29 of the M5Town Police Clauses Act 1847 (being enactments which authorise the imposition of a short term of imprisonment or of a fine not exceeding £10 or both for the corresponding offence) and instead of any corresponding provision contained in any local Act.

The Secretary of State may by order repeal any provision of a local Act which appears to him to be a provision corresponding to subsection (1) of this section or to impose a liability to imprisonment for an offence of drunkenness or of being incapable while drunk.

In this section “public place” includes any highway and any other premises or place to which at the material time the public have or are permitted to have access, whether on payment or otherwise.
