I move amendment No. 93:

In page 23, after line 18, to insert the following:"Amendment of section 23 of Criminal Justice Act 1951

29.The Criminal Justice Act 1951 is amended by the insertion of the following section after section 23A:

"23B. The Parole Board may commute any sentence of imprisonment imposed by a Court exercising criminal jurisdiction for the purpose of making a parole order in accordance with, and subject to such conditions as it may impose under, the Parole Act 2017.".".

Amendments Nos. 93 and 94 relate to the Criminal Justice Acts 1951 and 1960, respectively. I will withdraw them and on Report Stage the Minister can look at whether she believes it is necessary to include similar provisions.
