# The Armed Forces (Entry, Search and Seizure) Order 2003, Article 11: Oaths and affirmations


(1) Before a judicial officer asks any question which a service policeman would be required under article 8(4) to answer on oath, an oath shall be administered to the service policeman.
(2) If—
(a) a service policeman required by virtue of this article to take an oath objects to being sworn, or
(b) it is not reasonably practicable without inconvenience or delay to administer an oath to a service policeman in the manner appropriate to his religious belief,
he shall be permitted to make a solemn affirmation instead of taking an oath.
(3) A person who may be permitted under this article to make his solemn affirmation may also be required to do so.
(4) Any oath or affirmation shall be administered in the form set out in Schedule 2 by the judicial officer or, where the judicial officer so directs, by any other person acting on his behalf.
