EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order brings into force section 170 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. Section 170 makes amendments to section 25 of the Armed Forces Act 2001 (c. 19), which in turn inserted new sections into the Army Act 1955 (c. 18), the Air Force Act 1955 (c. 19) and the Naval Discipline Act 1957 (c. 53) (‘the Service Discipline Acts’).
