I move amendment No. 90:

In page 22, line 9, after "prison" to insert "or institution".

Having spoken to officials in the Department, I am conscious the institution I wanted to include may need better definition. I was thinking of including the Central Mental Hospital. There are only very exceptional circumstances when a parole order would apply in respect of a person in the Central Mental Hospital. It may need further consideration.
