I move amendment No. 6:

In page 44, line 37, after "judge" to insert the following:

"and where more than one such judge is appointed, may so appoint one such judge to be Chief Military Judge".

This amendment provides for the chief judge to be appointed on the advice of the Government and not by the Judge Advocate General, as currently provided under section 184N.

In our amendment No. 11 we suggest that the chief judge should be appointed on the advice of the Government, not by the Judge Advocate General, similar to the previous amendments I have addressed.
