(1)For the purposes of any reference in section 116(1) above (however expressed) to the term of imprisonment to which a person has been sentenced, consecutive terms and terms which are wholly or partly concurrent shall be treated as a single term if—
(a)the sentences were passed on the same occasion; or
(b)where they were passed on different occasions, the person has not been released under Part II of the M1Criminal Justice Act 1991 at any time during the period beginning with the first and ending with the last of those occasions;
but this is subject to subsection (4) below.
