Now, therefore, Her Majesty, in pursuance of section 1(2) of the Armed Forces Act 1996(1), is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:-
1. This Order may be cited as the Army, Air Force and Naval Discipline Acts (Continuation) Order 1998.
2. The Army Act 1955(2), the Air Force Act 1955(3) and the Naval Discipline Act 1957(4) shall continue in force for a period of twelve months beginning on the day immediately following 31st August 1998 (which is the date on which those Acts would otherwise expire).

(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 1(1) of the Armed Forces Act 1996 provides that the Army Act 1955, the Air Force Act 1955 and the Naval Discipline Act 1957 ("the Service Discipline Acts") should continue in force until 31st August 1997 and should then expire unless continued in force in accordance with that section. The Army, Air Force and Naval Discipline Acts (Continuation) Order 1997 was made under that section and provides for the Service Discipline Acts to continue in force until 31st August 1998. This Order enables those Acts to continue in force for a period of 12 months beyond that date.
