One concern I have relating to section 25 which may require further amendment is that a parole order may be suspended where a person has been charged with an offence whether or not this has resulted in a conviction. This provision might run the risk of being challenged. Everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence and I do not believe that simply being charged with an offence should give rise to the suspension of a parole order. We will look further at that and revert to it on Report Stage.
