I beg to move amendment No. 565, in

clause 229, page 127, line 3, at end insert—

'(2A) For the purposes of subsection (2)(a)(i), any reference in the relevant court order to the licence period specified in the order is, in relation to a prohibited activity requirement, exclusion requirement, residence requirement or supervision requirement, to be taken to include a reference to any other period during which the prisoner is released on licence under section 225 or 227.'.

Under the amendment, prisoners serving a sentence of custody plus or intermittent custody who are released early on home detention curfew or on compassionate grounds may be subject to certain licence requirements despite their court-ordered licence period not having started. It also allows a prohibited activity requirement, exclusion requirement, residence requirement or supervision requirement to be added to that period. The net effect is to ensure that licence conditions kick in when the prisoner is no longer in custody.

Amendment agreed to.

I beg to move amendment No. 566, in

clause 229, page 127, line 5, leave out

'(including such a sentence imposed under section 207) or more'

and insert

'or more (including such a sentence imposed under section 207)'.

The amendment is necessary to rectify a simple drafting error, because a word has been misplaced in the clause.

Amendment agreed to.
