Section 35 amends the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (the 2003 Act) to allow for the removal of an eligible offender from prison for the purpose of immediate deportation from the UK so that such removal can happen any time after sentence.
	Subsection 1 amends section 260 of the 2003 Act which provides that the Secretary of State may remove a fixed-term prisoner liable to removal from the UK from prison.
	Subsection 1(a) removes the requirement that an offender must serve a minimum pre-removal custodial period before the Secretary of State may remove them from prison and subsection 1(b) removes the definition of this period.
	Subsection 1(c) removes the Secretary of State’s power to amend the minimum pre-removal custodial period.
	Subsection 1(d) removes references to ‘requisite custodial period’ in subsection 260(9) in light of the changes to the section and a reference which was made obsolete by section 47(5) of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022.
	Subsection 2 makes consequential changes to the 2003 Act and Nationality and Borders Act 2022.
	Subsection 2(a)removes the requirement that any additional days for disciplinary offences are added to any period which must be served before a prisoner can be removed from prison under section 260 following the amendments by subsection (1).
	Subsection 2(b) removes the requirement that a prisoner had to serve the pre removal custodial period for all custodial terms before removal under section 260.
	Subsection 2(c) is consequential on removing the order making power.
	Subsection 2(d) makes consequential amendment to paragraph 37 of Schedule 20B to the 2003 Act, which applies to saved release provisions for sentences imposed for offences committed before 2003. Paragraph 37 allowed for removal to take place for recalled offenders. With the removal of any restriction, this is now not required.
	Subsection 2(e) removes subsections 47(8) and 47(10) of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 which previously amended sections repealed by this section.
