HC Deb 25 October 1984 vol 65 c901

Lords amendment: No. 208, in page 63, line 18, after second "1955" insert— (aa) proceedings in the United Kingdom or elsewhere before the Courts-Martial Appeal Court—

  1. (i) on an appeal from a court-martial so constituted or from a court-martial constituted under the Naval Discipline Act 1957; or
  2. (ii) on a reference under section 34 of the Courts-Martial (Appeals) Act 1968;"

Mr. Shaw

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to consider amendments Nos. 216, 306 to 311, 346, 351, 353 and 354.

Mr. Shaw

The amendments are technical and relate solely to the application of the Bill to the armed services. They ensure that the definition of criminal proceedings includes proceedings before the Court Martial Appeal Court as well as courts martial, and make minor adjustments to the extent of the provisions relating to service offences.

Question put and agreed to.

Further consideration of Lords amendments adjourned—[Mr. Garel-Jones.]

To be further considered tomorrow.
