The Early Removal of Short-Term and Long-Term Prisoners (Amendment of Requisite Period) Order 2008
This Order amends the definition of “the requisite period” in section 46A(5) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991. Under section 46A the Secretary of State may remove from prison a short-term or long-term prisoner who is liable to removal under section 46(3) of that Act and who has served the requisite period. The prisoner may be removed from prison only for the purpose of removal from the United Kingdom.
