Section 67A must be applied literally: only periods of custody during which the detainee was in custody by reason only of committal for the relevant proceedings count as reduction; because the applicant was subject from 1 May 1995 to a separate 15 month sentence custody was not 'only' by remand and the Commissioner correctly excluded that later period; the judicial clerk's correspondence did not change the legal effect and the application for judicial review is dismissed.
