Challenge to variation of terms of release licence by the defendant. He argued that the power was available only to the Parole Board, and that he had not been given a chance to make representations, and that the variation was an excessive interference in his right to private life.
Held: The requests for review were either rejected or accepted but dismissed on review. The statute made explicit reference to the setting of the conditions, and the limitations on the power did not apply to prisoners sentenced pursuant to section 227 of the 2003 Act.
Being a prisoner, the setting of licence conditions did not wall within the ambit of the 1998 Act.
