HC Deb 12 April 1961 vol 638 cc399-400
Mr. Renton

I beg to move, in page 17, line 16, to leave out "(or treated as sentenced)".

This is a drafting Amendment. It may be glad news to the House if I point out that all the Amendments down to and including the Amendment to page 24, line 20, are drafting Amendments, either consequential on Amendments already made or put down to improve the language of the Bill. Bearing that in mind, the House may consider it convenient to take all these Amendments together.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

I take it that that is convenient to the House.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 17, line 29, leave out subsection (5) and insert: (5) Where a person sentenced to imprisonment or detention is released and, by reason of his having been transferred under this section, his release occurs otherwise than in his place of sentence (that is to say, the part of the United Kingdom or island in which his sentence was passed)—

  1. (a) he shall not on his release be subject to supervision under the law of the part of the United Kingdom in which he is at the time of his release unless he would have been subject to supervision if he had been released at that time in his place of sentence without having been transferred from that place; and
  2. (b) if in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section he is on his release subject to supervision under the law of the part of the United Kingdom in which he is at the time of his release, the period after his release for which he is under such supervision shall not extend beyond the expiration of the maximum period after his release for which he could have been under supervision under the law of his place of sentence if he had been released in that place at the said time:
Provided that this subsection shall not apply in the case of a parson sentenced in any of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man to borstal training, corrective training or preventive detention (6) In subsection (5) of this section, any reference to a person as being subject to supervision includes a reference to his being liable to have imposed on him requirements or conditions to be complied with by him or to be recalled or returned to a prison or other institution, and "under supervision" shall be construed accordingly.—[Mr. Renton.]
