I move amendment No. 8:

In page 5, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following: "Prohibition on political activities when on voluntary military service

7. The Principal Act is amended by the insertion of the following section after section 103:
“Prohibition on political activities when on voluntary military service

103A.A member of the Reserve Defence Force shall not, while deployed on military service under section 86A (in the case of an officer) or section 91A (in the case of a reservist)—
(a) canvass on behalf of, or collect contributions for, any political organisation or society, or

(b) address a meeting of a political organisation or society.".".
