(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 127 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (“the 1994 Act”) enables the Secretary of State (or, in Scotland, the Scottish Ministers) to bring an action against any person who causes loss or damage by inducing a prison officer to withhold his services as such an officer or to commit a breach of discipline. The effect of the amendments made by this Order is that section 127 will no longer apply in relation to such an inducement in respect of a prison officer in England and Wales, or in Scotland, although it will continue to apply in respect of such a prison officer in Northern Ireland as well as in respect of a custody officer and a prisoner custody officer as defined in section 127(4)(c) of the 1994 Act.
