I move amendment No. 128 :—
In sub-section (1) to delete all words after " offence " in line 36 to the end of the sub-section.
The amendment proposes to delete about four lines. The section will then read :
" Where an offence against military law has been committed by any person while subject to military law, such person may, subject to sub-section (2) of this section, be taken into and kept in service custody and tried and punished for such offence."
I think that is sufficient. My view is that the words I propose to delete are unnecessary. If the Minister has any good reason for putting them in, I will have no objection to leaving them in but I think it is better without them.
