Where the Board has reasonable grounds to suspect that a prisoner has committed, is about to, or is likely to, commit a serious offence, the Board shall immediately suspend the licence and recall the prisoner to prison.
Where a prisoner is recalled under subsection (1), the Board shall cause the Commissioner of Police to be informed of the suspension and the Commissioner shall cause that person to be detained in prison to await a hearing at which the need or otherwise of revoking the licence is to be considered.
As soon as reasonably practicable but in any case within three working days of the remand of a prisoner under subsection (2), the Board shall hold a hearing to determine whether or not the prisoner's licence should be revoked.
The hearing by the Board under this section shall be conducted in accordance with section 15(7) to (12).
