Section 10: Application to visiting forces of law relating to home forces

(1) Where under any enactment a power is exercisable by any authority or person-
(a) with respect to any of the home forces or their members or other persons in any way connected with those forces; or
(b) with respect to any property used or to be used for the purposes of any of the home forces, the Minister may by order provide for that power to be exercisable, subject to any conditions specified in the order, by that authority or person in the case of any visiting force of a country to which this section applies to the same extent, if any, to which it would be exercisable if the visiting force were a part of the home forces.
(2) The Minister may by order-
(a) provide for exempting any visiting force of a country to which this section applies, or members of service courts thereof, or other person in any way connected with such a force, or property used or to be used for the purposes of such a force, from the operation of any enactment specified in the order to any extent to which it or they would be, or would be capable of being, exempted therefrom if the force were a part of the home forces, subject however to any conditions specified in the order; and
(b) provide for conferring on any such visiting force or on any such member, service courts, persons or property as aforesaid any other privilege or immunity specified in the order, being a privilege or immunity which would be enjoyed by, or would be capable of being conferred on, it or them if the force were part of the home forces, subject however to any conditions specified in the order.
(3) Where by any enactment the doing of anything is prohibited, restricted or required
in relation to-
(a) any of the home forces or their members or service courts or other persons in any way connected with them; or
(b) any property used or to be used for the purposes of any of the home forces, the Minister may by order provide for securing that the prohibition, restriction or requirement shall have effect in the case of any visiting force of a country to which this section applies to any extent to which it would so have effect if that visiting force were a part of the home forces.
(4) An order under this section may contain such incidental, consequential and supplementary provisions as appear to the Minister expedient for the purposes of the order, including provisions for applying, modifying, adapting or suspending any enactment.
(5) An order under this section shall not have effect until it is published in the Federal Gazette.
(6) In this section, "enactment" means any provision of-
(a) any Act of the National Assembly other than this Act, whether passed before or after the commencement of this Act; or
(b) any law enacted either before or after the commencement of this Act by the legislature of a State; or
(c) any instrument made before 1 October 1960 in so far as the instrument has effect as such an Act or Law; or
(d) any order, rules, regulations, rules of court or bye-laws made before or after the commencement of this Act in exercise of powers conferred by any such Act, law or instrument.
