Section 8: Transitional provision for terrorist prisoners subject to supervised release orders: Scotland
This section provides for the situation where a Court has imposed a Supervised Release Order (SRO) under section 209 of the 1995 Act on a prisoner currently serving a sentence for terrorist offence.
	Where a terrorist offender is currently due to serve such an order on release, subsection (2) provides that, if the offender is released only at the end of the sentence, the SRO will be revoked. Under subsections (3) and (4) if the prisoner is released before the end of their sentence, the SRO will come into effect upon release but not extend beyond the end of the custodial sentence in line with section 209(7) of the 1995 Act.
