Before subsection (9) of section 21 of the 1970 Act there is inserted—
“(8B)This section has effect in relation to disabled persons resident in prescribed places outside the United Kingdom who are—
(a)members of any of the armed forces of the Crown,
(b)persons employed by or in the service of the Government of the United Kingdom whose sole or main role is to work in support of any of those forces, or
(c)members of the same household as a person within paragraph (a) or (b),
as if the Secretary of State were a local authority in England.
(8C)Accordingly, a reference to a local authority in this section, except in subsection (4BB) or (8) (or in subsection (1A)(b) or (7D)(b)), is to be read as including a reference to the Secretary of State.
(8D)Subsections (1)(a), (2) and (4) have effect in relation to disabled persons within subsection (8B) as if “a place prescribed under subsection (8B)” were substituted for “the area of the issuing authority”.”
