Various amendments in Schedule 16 to the Armed Forces Act 2006 that provide for the change of name from the Royal Navy Regulating Branch to that of the Royal Navy Police in primary legislation have already been commenced, and this Order supplements those changes by changing the name in the subordinate legislation.
