	(b) permitting the use of as much force as is reasonably necessary on board an aircraft to prevent the commission of an offence that would be likely to cause immediate and serious injury to the aircraft or to any person or property in the aircraft;
	(c) modifying the provision dealing with the provision of information on oath in relation to weapons; and
