I move amendment No. 15:

In page 62, line 29, after "committed" to insert the following:

", or, where such person is incapacitated or deceased, on the application of a person who is the spouse or relative of such person".

The purpose of the amendment is to allow for victim impact statements by relatives of a deceased or incapacitated person in a court-martial. This is very much part of the criminal courts system.
