What these notes do
These Explanatory Notes relate to the Armed Forces (Service Complaints and Financial Assistance) Act 2015 which received Royal Assent on 26 March 2015.
-
These Explanatory Notes have been prepared by the Ministry of Defence in order to assist the reader of the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
-
The Notes explain what each part of the Act will mean in practice; provide background information on the development of policy; and provide additional information on how the Act will affect existing legislation in this area.
-
These Notes need to be read alongside the Act. They are not, and are not intended to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
