Section 11 removes paragraph 4(2) of Schedule 9 to the Sentencing Code. The intention of this is to remove the requirement for the court to specify a maximum number of days on which an offender should complete rehabilitation activity. This also applies to such a requirement imposed as part of a suspended custodial sentence, service community order or overseas community order in the Service Justice System by virtue of sections 200, 178 and 182 of the Armed Forces Act 2006.
	The policy intention for section 11 is neither to alter the type or ambit or instructions that the "responsible officer" may issue to an offender under the new "probation requirement", nor to alter any of the mechanisms for breaches, revocations and amendments of the new requirement.
