(1) In this Article — “P” means a person who has been released on licence under Article 46; “the Commissioners” and “the Department” have the meanings given in Article 46(1). (2) The Department may revoke P’s licence and recall P to detention— (a) if recommended to do so by the Commissioners, or (b) without such a recommendation, if it appears to the Department that it is expedient in the public interest to recall P before such a recommendation is practicable. (3) P— (a) shall, on P’s return to detention, be informed of the reasons for the recall and of the right conferred by sub-paragraph (b); and (b) may make representations in writing to the Department with respect to the recall. (4) The Department shall refer P’s case to the Commissioners. (5) Where on a reference under paragraph (4) the Commissioners direct P’s immediate release on licence under Article 46, the Department shall give effect to the direction. (6) The Commissioners shall not give a direction under paragraph (5) unless they are satisfied that it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public from serious harm that P should be detained. (7) On the revocation of P’s licence, P shall be liable to be detained in pursuance of P’s sentence and, if at large, shall be treated as being unlawfully at large.
