Around 40 recalled IPP offenders have already been re-released using this power, when they were due to wait for a number of months before their Schedule 4 hearing. When considering RARR, the Secretary of State also has the power to consider whether it is in the interests of justice to treat the licence as having remained in force during the period of the recall. Under this power, offenders therefore would not need to restart a new two-year period on licence in the community before their licence will terminate automatically. The Secretary of State also has the power to rescind a recall where appropriate.
