(4A) Where at any time an offender is subject concurrently -
-
(a) to a detention and training order; and
(b) to a sentence of detention in a young offender institution,
he shall be treated for the purposes of paragraphs (5) and (6) of this rule as if he were subject only to the one of them that was imposed on the later occasion.";
-
(b) in paragraph (6), after "("the 1991 Act")" there shall be inserted:

or section 75 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998[3] ("the 1998 Act")";

In rule 53 (Governor's punishments), in paragraph (1)(f), before "confinement", there shall be inserted:
-
"
in the case of an offence against discipline committed by an inmate who was aged 18 or over at the time of commission of the offence, other than an inmate who is serving the period of detention and training under a detention and training order pursuant to section 75(1) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998,".
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Young Offender Institution Rules 1988 ("the 1988 Rules"). Rule 2 of these Rules introduces the Schedule, which sets out the amendments to the 1988 Rules.
Paragraph 1 of the Schedule amends rule 6 (Temporary release) of the 1988 Rules to allow consistency with section 75 to 79 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Paragraph 2 amends rule 53 (Governors's punishments) to remove the punishment of confinement to a cell or room for inmates who are under 18 years old or serving the initial custodial period of detention and training orders.
