Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules amend the Prison Rules 1964 (“the 1964 Rules”), as amended.

Rule 2 of these Rules introduces the Schedule, which sets out the amendments to the 1964 Rules.

Paragraph 1 of the Schedule makes revised provision for physical education and time in the open air for prisoners.

Paragraph 2 of the Schedule enables the Secretary of State to direct when a prisoner should be searched.

Paragraph 3 of the Schedule creates two new disciplinary offences relating to alcohol.

Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Schedule make revised provision for the appointment of the chairman and vice chairman of a board of visitors for a prison (in respect of which rule 3 of these Rules makes transitional provision) and for the making of reports by such a board to the Secretary of State. Paragraph 5 introduces new provision for training for members of a board of visitors and for their suspension from membership on grounds of suspected serious misconduct. That paragraph also introduces new provision for the termination of office of a chairman or vice chairman of a board of visitors.
