HC Deb 17 February 1955 vol 537 cc736-7

12.45 a.m.

Mr. Ward

I beg to move, in page 69, line 38, after "air-force" to insert "or military."

An airman can be confined in a military establishment—either a military prison or detention barracks—in the same way that a soldier can be held in an Air Force establishment. The Amendment will enable the Clause to operate whether the airman is in confinement in an Air Force establishment or whether, because it is more convenient, he is confined in a military establishment.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 132 to 142 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
