I move amendment No. 51:

In page 24, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:

“PART 4

MISCELLANEOUS

Amendment of Criminal Justice Act 2007

37.Section 25(8) of the Criminal Justice Act 2007 is amended—

(a) in paragraph (b), by the substitution of “in prison,” for “in prison, or”,

(b) in paragraph (c), by the substitution of “Criminal Justice Act 1960, or” for “Criminal Justice Act 1960.”, and

(c) by the insertion of the following paragraph after paragraph (c):

“(d) released on parole within the meaning of the Parole Act 2019.”.”.

Members will see that, in amendments Nos. 51 and 55, we are making consequential amendments in respect of other legislation. Many of these amendments are technical. I draw the attention of Deputies to amendment No. 53, which amends the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Act 2017, providing that the victim should be informed, if he or she has requested this, in respect of any application for parole or the release of a person on parole.
