DEFENCE
Articles 3, 4, 8 and 9 replace those provisions of the Army Act 1955 and the Air Force Act 1955 (“the 1955 Acts”) and the Naval Discipline Act 1957 (“the 1957 Act”) that confer power to arrest a person for an offence. The new provisions correspond to sections 67 and 69 of the Armed Forces Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). In particular they confer a new power (similar to that conferred by section 69 of the 2006 Act) to arrest a person reasonably suspected of being about to commit an offence. Articles 5 to 7 and 10 to 15 make consequential amendments.
