(a) the power conferred on the Secretary of State by section 49 of this Act to insert 877 or include conditions in the licence of any person released under that section after being transferred to either part of Great Britain from another part of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man;

Miss Bacon

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

This Amendment enables prisoners transferred to prisons in Scotland or England and Wales from Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man, to be released on licence in the same way as other prisoners.

Question put and agreed to.
