Section 1(1) of the Visiting Forces Act 1952 provides that references in the Act to a country to which a provision of the Act applies are references to Commonwealth countries and to any country designated for the purposes of that provision by Order in Council. The Visiting Forces (Designation) Order 1954 designates certain countries including the United States of America and the provisions of that Order are, subject to certain modifications, extended by the Visiting Forces (Designation) (Colonies) Order 1954 to certain colonial territories in so far as those provisions relate to the United States of America. This Order extends the provisions of the last mentioned Order, as amended, to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
