I move amendment No. 41:
In page 14, lines 27 and 28, to delete all words from and including "but" in line 27 down to and including line 28 and substitute the following:"and may involve an interview of the parole candidate in accordance with section 14(3)if a panel believes this is appropriate.".
This amendment, in my name and that of Deputy Clare Daly, seeks to give a power to a review process to conduct an interview with a parole candidate if the panel believes it appropriate. It is worth exploring. Amendment No. 44 seeks to delete 15(4) because it will be dealt with in a new section 21, specifically with amendment No. 67.
