I would, yes. I have a strong preference for amendment No. 6. I am concerned about the orders relating to sentence management, including orders for transfer. I would make the point again, and ask Deputy Daly to consider it, that the parole board has a specific role. Getting involved in the management and operation of the prisons, which is the tendency, is where this is going. That is the reason I would prefer the broader approach in amendment No. 6. It is more appropriate to the role of the parole board, and it is clearer.
