SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to provide that if an offender serving a sentence of two years or more withdraws a request for parole or advises the Board of a wish not to be considered for full parole, at a late stage in the preparation of a review without good reason, the Board shall not consider the offender for full parole for a period of two years.

This will prevent an application being withdrawn without good reason after substantial preparation has been made and renewed again shortly thereafter.
