109 Parole eligibility date
(1) As soon as possible after a court has fixed a non‑parole period in respect of a prisoner, the Secretary must report to the secretary of the Board the prisoner's parole eligibility date.
(2) If—
(a) a court fixes a new single non-parole period in respect of a prisoner under section 14(1) of the **Sentencing Act 1991**; or
(b) the Secretary has granted any emergency management days to a prisoner—
the Secretary must report to the secretary of the Board the prisoner's new or reduced non-parole period as soon as possible.
(3) For the purposes of this regulation, to determine a prisoner's parole eligibility date, the number of emergency management days granted to the prisoner must be deducted from the prisoner's non-parole period.
(4) In this regulation—
***non-parole period*** has the same meaning as in the **Sentencing Act 1991**;
***parole eligibility date*** means the earliest date on which a prisoner is eligible to be released on parole if so ordered by the Board.
