A prisoner escaped, and on recapture was sentenced for the escape, and ordered under the section to complete the remaining part of his sentence.
Held: The prisoner was not subject to the provisions regarding return of a prisoner who had been given early release under the statutory scheme. The return part of the order was a nullity, and so nor was it an order which could be a sentence under the 1968 Act.
