(e) food;
(f) clothing and toiletry items; or
(g) other re-establishment costs
for an applicant who has been imprisoned or held in
custody on remand for 31 days or more, the total
amount of the grants to be reduced by any amount
held by the prison or other custodian on the
applicant’s behalf (including any amount held in the
prisoner’s trust account, canteen account or earnings
account).”

6. Persons released from custody under section 128A of
   the Immigration Act 1987—Clause 15A.1 of the programme
   is amended by omitting the words “penal institution” and
   substituting the word “prison (as defined in section 3 of the
   Corrections Act 2004)”.

12 JANUARY 2006

Explanatory Note
This note is not part of the amendment, but is intended to
indicate its general effect.
This amendment formally re-titles the Special Needs Grant
Programme as the name under which it is more usually
known, the Special Needs Grants Programme. It also limits
the application of clause 9.4B of the programme, and
extends the payment period, enables more than one payment
to be made, and clarifies the types of costs for which
payments can be made to released, sentenced and remand
prisoners. A reference to a penal institution is removed and
replaced by a reference to a prison as defined in the
Corrections Act 2004, consequentially on that Act repealing
the Penal Institutions Act 1954.
