Custodial Sentences and Weapons (Scotland) Act 2007

Section 37 - Revocation of licence

78.Subsection (1) enables the Scottish Ministers to revoke a prisoner’s licence and recall him or her to custody. Subsection (4) deals with the situation in which a prisoner is still on licence but is detained in custody for any reason. In such a situation, Ministers must revoke the licence.

79.Subsections (2), (3) and (5) provide that, whether or not the prisoner is in custody at the time, the licence may only be revoked if two conditions are met: first, that the prisoner either has breached a licence condition or is considered to be likely to do so; and secondly that Ministers consider that it is in the public interest to revoke the licence.
