[1] 1986 c. 35. The power to designate any land as, or as part of, a controlled site is exercisable in relation to Crown land as it is exercisable in relation to other land: see section 1(7). The terms "controlled site" and "remains" are defined in section 9(1). Section 9(2) states when a vessel is to be regarded as having been in military service.back
