Part 7: Sentencing and release Chapter 1: Custodial sentences Section 134: Responsibility for setting licence conditions for fixed-term prisoners
Section 134 amends section 250 of the CJA 2003 which deals with the setting and variation of licence conditions for fixed term prisoners when they are released and subsequently when in the community. The section substitutes existing subsections (5A) to (5B) with new subsections (5A) to (5C) to provide that the Secretary of State must not include, vary or cancel certain licence conditions on the licences of certain prisoners released in accordance with certain provisions unless the Board has directed their inclusion, variation or cancellation.
	The section also makes provision to treat any condition of a licence in force before commencement which required a direction of the Board but had not received one as if from commencement such a direction had been given.
