Coming into force

In exercise of the powers conferred upon me by section 47 of the Prison Act 1952(1), I hereby make the following Rules:
1. These Rules may be cited as the Prison (Amendment) (No. 2) Rules 1988 and shall come into force on 25th April 1988.
2. Where any constable or member of the armed forces of the Crown is employed by reason of any emergency to assist the governor of a prison by performing duties ordinarily performed by an officer of the prison, any reference in Part I of the Prison Rules 1964(2) to such an officer (other than a governor) shall be construed as including a reference to a constable or a member of the armed forces of the Crown so employed.

(This note is not part of the Order)
These Rules extend Part I of the Prison Rules 1964, so as to apply references in that Part to prison officers (other than governors) to constables or members of the armed forces when employed in an emergency to assist the governor of a prison in performing duties ordinarily performed by prison officers.
1952 c. 52. Section 47 was amended by Schedule 4 to the Criminal Justice Act 1961 (c. 39), section 66(5) of the Criminal Justice Act 1967 (c. 80), paragraph 33 of Schedule 8 to the Courts Act 1971 (c. 23) and paragraph 7 of Schedule 14 to the Criminal Justice Act 1982 (c. 48). Section 47 of the 1952 Act was also affected by an amendment to section 52(2) of that Act by section 66(4) of the Criminal Justice Act 1967.
