§ Mr. CarlisleI beg to move Amendment No. 8, in page 10, line 28, after "imprisonment", insert "or detention".
This Clause deals with bail, and in subsection (4) sets out the circumstances in which the Crown Court could admit to bail. But failure to incorporate the Amendment would result in an anomaly in the calculation of time counting towards sentence, in that time spent on bail does not count as part of any term of imprisonment, but it is not clear at the moment that the same applies to a detention centre order. For someone who had been committed to a detention centre and later granted bail, the time on bail would count towards that detention centre sentence if the Bill were not amended.
§ Amendment agreed to.
