I move amendment No. 48:

In page 21, line 49, after "2006" to insert ", unless the context otherwise requires".

This is a technical drafting amendment, the purpose of which is to make it clear in the context of courts martial under the Defence Act 1954 that the two definitions of "mental disorder" must be borne in mind and that their application is dependent on the context in which they arise.
