Victims and Prisoners Bill

Moved by

Lord Carter of Haslemere

154: Clause 48, page 52, line 21, at end insert—

“(4I) the prisoner’s licence will be considered to have remained in force for the purposes of subsection (4H)(c) if—

(a) the prisoner has been recalled within that period,

(b) the Secretary of State has released P again on licence in accordance with his powers under section 32(5B), and

(c) the Secretary of State orders that the licence should be considered to have remained in force during the period of recall.”

Member's explanatory statement

This amendment would enable a person whom the Secretary of State has deemed suitable for executive release to benefit from the qualifying period as if the recall had not occurred, but only if Secretary of State considers this appropriate in all the circumstances.
