I move amendment No. 25:
In page 30, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:
“Amendment of section 3 of Criminal Procedure Act 1993
50. Section 3 of the Criminal Procedure Act 1993 is amended by the insertion of the following subsection after subsection (2):
“(2A) Where, on the hearing of an appeal against sentence, under subsection (2) the Court quashes a sentence which was imposed on a child, but the convicted person is then no longer a child, the Court may impose a sentence which could have been imposed by the court of trial if the convicted person was no longer a child on the date the sentence was imposed.”.”.
