At the end of section 34 of the Bail Act 1977 insert —

    "(25)     Section 3C, as substituted by the Youth Justice Act 2024 , applies to an application made on or after the commencement of that substitution, irrespective of when any offence referred to in section 3C(1)(b) is alleged to have been committed.

    (26)     On or after the commencement of the substitution of section 3C by the Youth Justice Act 2024 , if—

        (a)     section 3C applies in respect of an accused's application for bail; and

        (b)     the accused was remanded in custody in a remand centre (within the meaning of the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 as in force before that commencement), before that commencement—

in making a determination under this Act in accordance with section 3C(2)(a), a bail decision maker must also take into account whether the accused has engaged in conduct that threatens the good order and safe operation of a remand centre within the meaning of the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 as in force before that commencement.

    (27)     An amendment made to this Act (other than the substitution of section 3C) by a provision of Part 23.2 of the Youth Justice Act 2024 applies to an application made, or an appeal commenced, under this Act on or after the commencement of that provision, regardless of when the offence is alleged to have been committed.".
