HC Deb 15 January 1997 vol 288 cc401-2

Amendment proposed: No. 11, in page 6, line 19, leave out 'three months or more' and insert 'more than two months'.—[[Mr. Maclean.]

Mr. Michael

I welcome this amendment, which will go some way towards ensuring that there is more recognition of the award of release days for good behaviour for those serving short sentences. I welcome the fact that the Minister has modestly moved forward, and the amendment is an improvement to the Bill that I welcome.

Amendment agreed to.
