Schedules Schedule 11: Release on licence of terrorist prisoners repatriated to the United Kingdom
This Schedule provides for terrorist and terror related prisoners repatriated to the UK to be treated in respect of release provisions in the same way as such prisoners sentenced in the UK. It does this through amending the Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984 in the following way:
	Paragraph (2) inserts text into the Schedule of the 1984 Act that applies in relation to prisoners repatriated to England and Wales. The effect of the insertion is that if an offence committed by a repatriated prisoner corresponds to a terrorist offence specified in Part 1 of Schedule 19ZA to the 2003 Act, or to an offence found to have a terrorist connection by definition in new sub-paragraph (3E), and the warrant is annotated to that effect, the offender will be subject to the release provisions in section 247A of the 2003 Act (for extended sentences for offences which carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, release will be at the end of the full custodial term; for all other sentences release will be at the discretion of the Parole Board from the two-thirds point of the custodial term). These offenders will also be subject to section 28 of the Offender Management Act 2007, meaning polygraph conditions can be imposed as part of their licence conditions when released from custody. New sub-paragraph (3F) gives the Secretary of State the power to amend a warrant (whether issued before or after commencement of this Act and whether or not the relevant transfer has taken place).
	Paragraphs (3) and (4) insert text to the Schedule that applies equivalent provisions for prisoners repatriated to Scotland, both as it applies in relation to certain prisoners repatriated to Scotland on or after 27 June 2003 in accordance with section 33(2) of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2003 and otherwise. Prisoners who have committed an offence corresponding to a terrorist offence specified in Schedule 1A to the 1993 Act or a terror-related offence as defined in new sub-paragraph (3D), and the warrant is annotated to that effect, will be subject to the release provisions in section 1AB of the 1993 Act. New sub-paragraph (3E) of the inserted text gives Scottish Ministers the power to amend a warrant (whether issued before or after commencement of this Act the provisions in this section come into force and whether or not the relevant transfer the warrant authorises has taken place).Paragraph (5) inserts text into the Schedule of the Act that applies in relation to prisoners repatriated to Northern Ireland, amending paragraph 2A of the 1984 Act. It sets out that those who have committed relevant equivalent overseas offences will fall under the provisions of this Act.
