Part of Criminal Justice Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 2:30 pm ar 11 Chwefror 2003.
I wonder whether the Minister could enlighten me. The definition of ''prison'' in clause 217(2) is
''any place where a person serving such a sentence is liable to be detained.''
What do the words ''is liable to'' mean in that context? Why does the clause not refer simply to a place where a person is detained under the terms of clause 217(1)?
