Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
This Order makes provisions with respect to proceedings before a court-martial under the Army Act 1955, the Air Force Act 1955 and the Naval Discipline Act 1957, and with respect to proceedings before a Standing Civilian Court constituted under the Armed Forces Act 1976. The provisions are equivalent (with modifications) to those of Part 1 of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (‘the 1996 Act’) which impose duties of disclosure on prosecutors and accused. The modifications provided for in the order are to adjust the working of the provisions to the circumstances of, and legislation governing, proceedings before courts-martial and Standing Civilian Courts, an important example being the fact that courts-martial are not standing courts.

What Parliament said about it
Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.
How Parliament handled it
Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
