CRIMINAL LAW

This Order provides, for the avoidance of doubt, that paragraph 23(1) of Schedule 2 to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Commencement No. 8 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2005 (“transitional arrangements for recall after release”) is to be read so that the reference to a prisoner who falls to be released under the Criminal Justice Act 1991 includes a prisoner who was released before 4th April 2005 and the words “after 4th April 2005” are to be read only as indicating the date from which sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of that paragraph take effect. The effect of paragraph 23 (1) of Schedule 2 to that Order is that a prisoner released on licence under the Criminal Justice Act 1991 can have his licence revoked and be recalled to prison by the Secretary of State under section 254 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
