1A  Conspiracy to commit offences outside England and Wales .

1 Where each of the following conditions is satisfied in the case of an agreement, this Part of this Act has effect in relation to the agreement as it has effect in relation to an agreement falling within section 1(1) above.
2 The first condition is that the pursuit of the agreed course of conduct would at some stage involve—
a an act by one or more of the parties, or
b the happening of some other event,
intended to take place in a country or territory outside England and Wales .
3 The second condition is that that act or other event constitutes an offence under the law in force in that country or territory.
4 The third condition is that the agreement would fall within section 1(1) above as an agreement relating to the commission of an offence but for the fact that the offence would not be an offence triable in England and Wales if committed in accordance with the parties’ intentions.
5 The fourth condition is that—
a a party to the agreement, or a party’s agent, did anything in England and Wales in relation to the agreement before its formation, or
b a party to the agreement became a party in England and Wales (by joining it either in person or through an agent), or
c a party to the agreement, or a party’s agent, did or omitted anything in England and Wales in pursuance of the agreement.
6 In the application of this Part of this Act to an agreement in the case of which each of the above conditions is satisfied, a reference to an offence is to be read as a reference to what would be the offence in question but for the fact that it is not an offence triable in England and Wales.
7 Conduct punishable under the law in force in any country or territory is an offence under that law for the purposes of this section, however it is described in that law.
8 Subject to subsection (9) below, the second condition is to be taken to be satisfied unless, not later than rules of court may provide, the defence serve on the prosecution a notice—
a stating that, on the facts as alleged with respect to the agreed course of conduct, the condition is not in their opinion satisfied,
b showing their grounds for that opinion, and
c requiring the prosecution to show that it is satisfied.
9 The court may permit the defence to require the prosecution to show that the second condition is satisfied without the prior service of a notice under subsection (8) above.
10 In the Crown Court the question whether the second condition is satisfied shall be decided by the judge alone, and shall be treated as a question of law for the purposes of—
a section 9(3) of the M1Criminal Justice Act 1987 (preparatory hearing in fraud cases), and
b section 31(3) of the M2Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (preparatory hearing in other cases).
11 Any act done by means of a message (however communicated) is to be treated for the purposes of the fourth condition as done in England and Wales if the message is sent or received in England and Wales.
12 In any proceedings in respect of an offence triable by virtue of this section, it is immaterial to guilt whether or not the accused was a British citizen at the time of any act or other event proof of which is required for conviction of the offence.
13 References in any enactment, instrument or document (except those in this Part of this Act) to an offence of conspiracy to commit an offence include an offence triable in England and Wales as such a conspiracy by virtue of this section (without prejudice to subsection (6) above).
14 Nothing in this section applies to an agreement entered into before 4 September 1998.
15 In relation to an agreement entered into during the period beginning with that date and ending with the commencement of section 72(1) of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, this section applies as if in subsection (2) for “England and Wales” there were substituted “ the United Kingdom ”.
16 Nothing in this section imposes criminal liability on any person acting on behalf of, or holding office under, the Crown.

Matters Ancillary to Section 47

Section 47.

Probation orders

1Where a court makes an order under section 47(1) above with respect to a sentence of imprisonment, it shall not make a probation order in the offender’s case in respect of another offence of which he is convicted by or before that court, or for which he is dealt with by that court.

Courts competent to restore sentence held in suspense

2
1 In relation to a sentence of imprisonment part of which is held in suspense, the courts competent under section 47(3) above are—
a the Crown Court; and
b where the sentence was passed by a magistrates’ court, any magistrates’ court before which the offender appears or is brought.
2 Where an offender is convicted by a magistrates’ court of an offence punishable with imprisonment and the court is satisfied that the offence was committed during the whole period of a sentence passed by the Crown Court with an order under section 47(1) above—
a it may, if it thinks fit, commit him in custody or on bail to the Crown Court; and
b if it does not, it shall give written notice of the conviction to the appropriate officer of that court.
3 For the purposes of this and the next following paragraph, a sentence of imprisonment passed on an offender with an order under section 47(1) above shall be treated as having been passed (with such an order) by the court which originally sentenced him.

Recall of offender on re-conviction

3
1 If it appears to the Crown Court, where that court has jurisdiction in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) below, or to a justice of the peace having jurisdiction in accordance with that sub-paragraph that an offender has been convicted in Great Britain of an offence punishable with imprisonment committed during the whole period of a sentence passed with an order under section 47(1) above and that he has not been dealt with in respect of the part of the sentence held in suspense, that court or justice may, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, issue a summons requiring the offender to appear at the place and time specified therein, or a warrant for his arrest.
2 Jurisdiction for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above may be exercised—
a if the sentence was passed by the Crown Court, by that court;
b if it was passed by a magistrates’ court, by a justice acting for the area for which that court acted.
3 Where an offender is convicted by a court in Scotland of an offence punishable with imprisonment and the court is informed that the offence was committed during the whole period of a sentence passed in England and Wales with an order under section 47(1) above, the court shall give written notice of the conviction to the appropriate officer of the court by which the original sentence was passed.
4 Unless he is acting in consequence of a notice under sub-paragraph (3) above, a justice of the peace shall not issue a summons under this paragraph except on information and shall not issue a warrant under this paragraph except on information in writing and on oath.
5 A summons or warrant issued under this paragraph shall direct the offender to appear or to be brought before the court by which the original sentence of imprisonment was passed. F133

Consecutive sentences of imprisonment

3A
1 This paragraph applies where—
a an offender is serving consecutive sentences of imprisonment; and
b at least one of the sentences was passed with an order under section 47(1) of this Act.
2 Where this paragraph applies the offender shall, so far as the consecutive sentences are concerned, be treated for the purposes—
a of computing the date when he should be released from prison; and
b of calculating the term of imprisonment liable to be restored under section 47(3) of this Act,
as if he had been sentenced to a single term of imprisonment with an order under section 47(1) of this Act of which the part which he is immediately required to serve in prison were the aggregate—
i of the part which he is required to serve in prison of any consecutive sentence passed with an order under section 47(1) of this Act; and
ii of the whole term of any other consecutive sentence,
and of which the part which is held in suspense were the aggregate of all parts of the sentences which were ordered to be held in suspense under that section.
3 Section 47(6) of this Act shall have effect, in relation to any consecutive sentence passed with an order under section 47(1) of this Act, as if for the words following the word “prison” there were substituted the following words
.
4 In this paragraph “a consecutive sentence” means a sentence which is one of two or more sentences of imprisonment the terms of which have been ordered to run consecutively.

Miscellaneous (procedural)

4Where the offender is before the Crown Court with a view to the exercise by that court of its powers under section 47(3) above, any question whether and, if so, when he has been convicted of an offence shall be determined by the court and not by the verdict of a jury.
5Where the offender has been before a court with a view to its exercising those powers, the appropriate officer shall—
a if the court decided not to exercise the powers, record that fact; and
b whether or not it exercised them, notify the appropriate officer of the court which passed the original sentence as to the manner in which the offender was dealt with.
6For the purposes of any enactment conferring rights of appeal in criminal cases, the restoration by a court under section 47(3) above of a part of a sentence held in suspense shall be treated as a sentence passed on the offender by that court for the original offence, that is to say the offence for which the original sentence was passed with an order under section 47(1) above.

Miscellaneous (consequential)

7Subject to section 60(1C) of the Criminal Justice Act 1967 (release on licence), where a sentence of imprisonment is passed with an order under section 47(1) above, it is still to be regarded for all purposes as a sentence of imprisonment for the term stated by the court, notwithstanding that part of it is held in suspense by virtue of the order; and, for the avoidance of doubt, a sentence of which part is held in suspense by virtue of such an order is not to be regarded as falling within the expression “suspended sentence” for the purposes of any legislation, instrument or document.
8Where an offender is sentenced to imprisonment with an order under section 47 above and, having served part of the sentence in prison, is discharged under section 25(1) of the M35Prison Act 1952 (remission for industry and good conduct), the remainder of the sentence being held in suspense, the sentence is not to be regarded as expiring under that section.
9In section 21 of the M36Firearms Act 1968 (prohibition on possession of firearms by persons previously convicted of crime), after subsection (2) there shall be inserted—
.
10In section 67 of the M37Criminal Justice Act 1967 (computation of sentence where offender has been previously in custody), in subsection (1), after “arose, but” there shall be inserted “(a)”, . . . F135.
