Prisoners (Early Release) (Scotland) Act 2025

Paragraph 2: power to modify timing of automatic early release of certain detained children

64.Paragraph 2 repeals the existing power in section 7(1A)(b) of the 1993 Act which allowed a reference to a proportion of a detained child’s sentence to be construed as a different proportion. This power is redundant in light of the new power at section 3 of the Act.
