Part 4: Police Powers Chapter 3: Powers Under PACE: Miscellaneous Section 76: PACE: audio recording of interviews
Subsection (2) amends section 60 of PACE, which makes provision for the Secretary of State to issue a code of practice in connection with the tape-recording of suspect interviews at police stations and to make orders in relation to such codes. This updates PACE by reflecting advances in audio recording technology and future-proofs it by using the general term "audio recording" rather than referring to any specific format.
	Subsection (3) similarly amends section 113 of PACE, which concerns interviews of service personal suspected of committing an offence. Specifically, section 113(4)(a), which states the matters for which codes of practice can be issued by the Secretary of State for the investigation of service matters, is updated by substituting the reference to "tape recording" for "audio recording".
