“(ba) after subsection (3), insert—
“(3A) Where—
(a) the prisoner has been released on licence under this Chapter,
(b) the qualifying period has expired, and
(c) if his case has been considered for termination previously by the Parole Board and a period of at least twelve months has expired since the disposal of that application,

Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment, along with two others in my name to Clause 48, would allow a prisoner whose licence has not been terminated by the Parole Board three years after their first release to make an application annually to the Parole Board for termination.
