  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nSection 110 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) inserts a new section 24 into the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The new section 24 removes the distinction between criminal offences which are arrestable and those which are not and provides that a constable may, provided certain criteria are met, arrest a person in relation to any criminal offence.\nSection 111 of, and Schedule 7 to, the 2005 Act make a number of consequential amendments to primary legislation and repeal those powers of arrest which are not contained within PACE and which apply to constables.\nThis Order makes equivalent consequential amendments to secondary legislation.",
