(b) in the case of a classified person who is being detained for an indictable offence (not being a person to whom paragraph (a) applies)--the person has served at least one third of the person's detention period, or

(c) in the case of any other person subject to control--the person has served at least one quarter of the person's detention period.

(2) Despite subclause (1), the Secretary may grant day leave to a person subject to control at any time if the Secretary is satisfied that exceptional circumstances justify the grant of day leave.
