These Regulations revoke and re-enact with modifications the Ministry of Defence Police (Conduct) Regulations 2009, and also make amendments to the Ministry of Defence Appeals Tribunals Regulations 2009 (“the Appeal Regulations”) (see Schedule 2), and to the Ministry of Defence (Performance) Regulations 2012 (“the Performance Regulations) (see Schedule 3). The purpose of the modifications and amendments is to reflect, to the extent possible, changes made to equivalent legislation which governs police forces in England and Wales. That equivalent legislation is the Police Appeals Tribunals Rules 2012, the Police (Performance) Regulations 2012, and the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012. In particular, the amendments make further provision for the role of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (“the Commission”).
