The Director of Prisons may, at least six months before a prisoner becomes eligible to be considered for conditional release, inform him in writing of that date and, if the prisoner wishes to be considered for release on licence, he is required to submit an application to the Director of Prisons at least four months before that date.
When a prisoner makes an application for conditional release on licence, the Director of Prisons may refer the application to the Board four months before the prisoner is eligible for consideration for conditional release on licence.
The Director of Prisons shall, at intervals of not more than one year from previous consideration by the Board, again refer each case to the Board for consideration of the prisoner for conditional release on licence if the prisoner to whom the case relates —
has not been released on licence; or
has had his licence revoked and is continuing to serve his sentence.
Notwithstanding subsection (3), if the Board so directs, a particular case shall be referred by the Director of Prisons to the Board at such shorter interval, not being less than three months, specified by the Board.
