70.Section 25 amends section 27 of the 1998 Act insofar as it deals with members of the PSNI engaged on other police service under section 8 of that Act. The amendment relates to regulations dealing with discipline or appeals, which are made in respect of members of the PSNI who have completed a period of temporary service in accordance with arrangements under section 8 of the 2000 Act. Its effect is that these regulations may permit disciplinary investigations and hearings held in a country outside the United Kingdom to be treated by the PSNI as though they were carried out by the PSNI as part of its own disciplinary procedure.
