80% of the prisoner’s term of imprisonment for the serious violent offence;
or
(b) 15 years.

violent offence was imposed under the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992,

worked out by adding the relevant further period to the notional parole
eligibility date fixed for the prisoner under subsection (2B) .
