(1)For the purposes of sections 240 [F1, 240A] and 241, the definition of “sentence of imprisonment” in section 305 applies as if for the words from the beginning of the definition to the end of paragraph (a) there were substituted—
““sentence of imprisonment” does not include a committal—
(a)in default of payment of any sum of money, other than one adjudged to be paid on a conviction,”;
and references in those sections to sentencing an offender to imprisonment, and to an offender’s sentence, are to be read accordingly.
