The first condition is that the premises are occupied by an adult who is disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying premises under a residential tenancy agreement. The second condition is that the landlord knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the premises are occupied by an adult who is disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying premises under a residential tenancy agreement. But unless subsection (5) applies the landlord does not commit an offence under subsection (1) if— the premises are located in an area in relation to which section 22 is in force, the adult mentioned in subsections (2) and (3) is a limited right occupier, and the eligibility period in relation to that occupier has not expired. This subsection applies if the Secretary of State has given a notice in writing to the landlord which— identifies the adult mentioned in subsections (2) and (3), and states that the adult is disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying premises under a residential tenancy agreement. It is a defence for a person charged with an offence under subsection (1) to prove that— the person has taken reasonable steps to terminate the residential tenancy agreement, and the person has taken such steps within a reasonable period beginning with the time when the person first knew or had reasonable cause to believe that the premises were occupied by the adult mentioned in subsections (2) and (3). In determining whether subsection (6)(a) or (b) applies to a person, the court must have regard to any guidance which, at the time in question, had been issued by the Secretary of State for the purposes of that subsection and was in force at that time. Guidance issued for the purposes of subsection (6)— must be laid before Parliament in draft before being issued, and comes into force in accordance with regulations made by the Secretary of State. Section 22(9) applies for the purposes of subsection (1) as it applies for the purposes of that section. A person commits an offence if— there has been a post-grant contravention in relation to a residential tenancy agreement which relates to premises in England, the person is the responsible landlord in relation to the post-grant contravention, the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that there has been a post-grant contravention in relation to the agreement, and none of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of section 24(6) applies in relation to the post-grant contravention. Subsection (10) applies whether or not the landlord is given a notice under section 23 in respect of the contravention. Subsection (2) applies to an agent who is responsible for a landlord's contravention of section 22 in relation to premises in England. The agent commits an offence if the agent— knew or had reasonable cause to believe that the landlord would contravene section 22 by entering into the residential tenancy agreement in question, had sufficient opportunity to notify the landlord of that fact before the landlord entered into the agreement, but did not do so. Subsection (4) applies where— a landlord contravenes section 22 in relation to a residential tenancy agreement relating to premises in England, the contravention is a post-grant contravention, and a person acting as the landlord's agent (“the agent”) is responsible for the post-grant contravention. The agent commits an offence if— the agent knows or has reasonable cause to believe that there has been a post-grant contravention in relation to the agreement, and neither of paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 26(6) applies in relation to the post-grant contravention. Subsection (4) applies whether or not the agent is given a notice under section 25 in respect of the contravention.

In the application of this section in relation to an offence committed before the coming into force of section 154(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 the reference in subsection (1)(b) to 12 months is to be read as a reference to 6 months. If an offence under section 33A or 33B is committed by a body corporate with the consent or connivance of an officer of the body, the officer, as well as the body, is to be treated as having committed the offence. In subsection (3) a reference to an officer of a body includes a reference to— a director, manager or secretary, a person purporting to act as a director, manager or secretary, and if the affairs of the body are managed by its members, a member. Where an offence under section 33A or 33B is committed by a partnership (whether or not a limited partnership) subsection (3) has effect, but as if a reference to an officer of the body were a reference to— a partner, and a person purporting to act as a partner. An offence under section 33A or 33B is to be treated as— a relevant offence for the purposes of sections 28B and 28D of the Immigration Act 1971 (search, entry and arrest), and an offence under Part 3 of that Act (criminal proceedings) for the purposes of sections 28E, 28G and 28H of that Act (search after arrest).

But sections 33A(10) and (11) and 33B apply only in relation to a contravention of section 22 which occurs after the coming into force of section 39 of the Immigration Act 2016. In section 36 (Crown application) at the end insert “ or the landlord for the purposes of section 33A. ” In section 37(4)(a) (provisions in which references to the landlord are to any of them)— omit the “and” at the end of sub-paragraph (ii), and at the end of sub-paragraph (iii) insert— section 33A, after subsection (9B) insert— has committed or attempted to commit an offence under section 33A or 33B of the Immigration Act 2014 (offences relating to residential tenancies), or in subsection (10) for “and (9B)” substitute “ , (9B) and (9C) ”, and in subsection (11) for “and (9B)” substitute “ , (9B) and (9C) ”. The Immigration Act 2014 is amended in accordance with subsections (2) to (4). After section 33C (inserted by section 39) insert— The landlord under a residential tenancy agreement relating to premises in England may terminate the agreement in accordance with this section if the condition in subsection (2) is met. The condition is that the Secretary of State has given one or more notices in writing to the landlord which, taken together,— identify the occupier of the premises or (if there is more than one occupier) all of them, and state that the occupier or occupiers are disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying premises under a residential tenancy agreement. The landlord may terminate the residential tenancy agreement by giving notice in writing and in the prescribed form to the tenant or, in the case of a joint tenancy, all of the tenants specifying the date on which the agreement comes to an end. That date must not be earlier than the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day specified in the notice as the day on which it is given. The notice may be given— by delivering it to the tenant or tenants, by leaving it at the premises, by sending it by post to the tenant or tenants at the address of the premises, or in any other prescribed manner. The notice is to be treated as a notice to quit in a case where a notice to quit would otherwise be required to bring the residential tenancy agreement to an end. The notice is enforceable as if it were an order of the High Court. In this section “occupier”, in relation to premises to which a residential tenancy agreement applies, means— a tenant, a person who, under the agreement, otherwise has the right to occupy the premises and is named in the agreement, and any other person who the landlord knows is occupying the premises. It is an implied term of a residential tenancy agreement to which this subsection applies that the landlord may terminate the tenancy if the premises to which it relates are occupied by an adult who is disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying premises under a residential tenancy agreement. Subsection (1) applies to a residential tenancy agreement relating to premises in England if— it is a tenancy or sub-tenancy or an agreement for a tenancy or sub-tenancy, but it is not a protected or statutory tenancy within the meaning of the Rent Act 1977 or an assured tenancy within the meaning of the Housing Act 1988.

In section 5 of the Housing Act 1988 (security of tenure)— in subsection (1) omit the “or” at the end of paragraph (b) and at the end of paragraph (c) insert , or in the case of an assured tenancy— which is a residential tenancy agreement within the meaning of Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the Immigration Act 2014, and in relation to which the condition in section 33D(2) of that Act is met, giving a notice in accordance with that section, in subsection (2) omit the “or” at the end of paragraph (a) and at the end of paragraph (b) insert the giving of a notice under section 33D of the Immigration Act 2014, The amendments made by subsections (5) and (6) apply in relation to a tenancy or (in the case of subsection (5)) a licence entered into before or after the coming into force of this section. The Housing Act 1988 is amended in accordance with subsections (2) to (5). In Part 1 of Schedule 2 (assured tenancies: grounds on which court must order possession) after Ground 7A insert— Both of the following conditions are met in relation to a dwelling-house in England. Condition 1 is that the Secretary of State has given a notice in writing to the landlord or, in the case of joint landlords, one or more of them which identifies— the tenant or, in the case of joint tenants, one or more of them, or one or more other persons aged 18 or over who are occupying the dwelling-house, as a person or persons disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying the dwelling-house under the tenancy. Condition 2 is that the person or persons named in the notice— fall within paragraph (a) or (b) of condition 1, and are disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying the dwelling-house under the tenancy. For the purposes of this ground a person (“P”) is disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying the dwelling-house under the tenancy if— P is not a relevant national, and P does not have a right to rent in relation to the dwelling-house. P does not have a right to rent in relation to the dwelling-house if— P requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom but does not have it, or P's leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom is subject to a condition preventing P from occupying the dwelling-house. But P is to be treated as having a right to rent in relation to a dwelling-house if the Secretary of State has granted P permission for the purposes of this ground to occupy a dwelling-house under an assured tenancy. In this ground “relevant national” means— a British citizen, a national of an EEA State other than the United Kingdom, or a national of Switzerland. In section 7 (orders for possession)— in subsection (3) after “subsections (5A) and (6)” insert “ and section 10A ”, in subsection (5A)(a) for “and 7A” substitute “ , 7A and 7B ”, in subsection (6)(a) after “Ground 7A” insert “ , Ground 7B ”, and after subsection (6A) insert— The requirement in subsection (6)(b) that would otherwise apply to an order for possession of a dwelling-house let on an assured fixed term tenancy does not apply where the ground for possession is Ground 7B in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to this Act. In section 8(5) (cases where court may not dispense with notice of proceedings for possession) after “Ground 7A” insert “ , 7B ”. After section 10 insert— This section applies on an application for an order for possession of a dwelling-house let on an assured tenancy if the court is satisfied that— Ground 7B in Schedule 2 is established, no other ground in that Schedule is established, or one or more grounds in Part 2 of that Schedule are established but it is not reasonable to make an order for possession on that ground or those grounds, the tenancy is a joint tenancy, and one or more of the tenants is a qualifying tenant. In subsection (1)(d) “qualifying tenant” means a person who (within the meaning of Ground 7B) is not disqualified as a result of the person's immigration status from occupying the dwelling-house under the tenancy. The court may, instead of making an order for possession, order that the tenant's interest under the tenancy is to be transferred so that it is held— if there is one qualifying tenant, by the qualifying tenant as sole tenant, or if there is more than one qualifying tenant, by all of them as joint tenants. The effect of an order under this section is that, from the time the order takes effect, the qualifying tenant or tenants— are entitled to performance of the landlord's covenants under the tenancy, and are liable to perform the tenant's covenants under the tenancy. The effect of an order under this section is that, from the time it takes effect, any other person who was a tenant under the tenancy before the order took effect— ceases to be entitled to performance of the landlord's covenants under the tenancy, or ceases to be liable to perform the tenant's covenants under the tenancy. Subsection (5) does not remove any right or liability of the person which accrued before the order took effect. An order under this section does not operate to create a new tenancy as between the landlord and the qualifying tenant or tenants. In particular, if the tenancy is a fixed term tenancy, the term comes to an end at the same time as if the order had not been made. In Part 1 of Schedule 15 to the Rent Act 1977 (grounds for possession of dwelling-houses let on or subject to protected or statutory tenancies) after Case 10 insert— For the purposes of this case a person (“P”) is disqualified as a result of their immigration status from occupying the dwelling-house under the tenancy if— But P is to be treated as having a right to rent in relation to a dwelling-house if the Secretary of State has granted P permission for the purposes of this case to occupy a dwelling-house which is for the time being let on a protected tenancy or subject to a statutory tenancy. In this case “relevant national” means— The amendments made by this section apply in relation to a tenancy entered into before or after the coming into force of this section. The Secretary of State may by regulations make such provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate for enabling any of the residential tenancies provisions to apply in relation to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. has a similar effect to any of the residential tenancies provisions, and applies in relation to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

After paragraph 25C insert— An authorised officer may exercise the powers in this section if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that a person— is in possession of a driving licence, and is not lawfully resident in the United Kingdom. The authorised officer may enter and search any premises— occupied or controlled by the person, or in which the person was when the person was encountered by the officer, for the driving licence. The power conferred by sub-paragraph (2) may be exercised— only if the authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that the driving licence is on the premises, only to the extent that it is reasonably required for the purpose of discovering the driving licence, and unless the authorised officer is a constable, only if a senior officer has authorised its exercise in writing. Sub-paragraph (3)(c) does not apply where it is not reasonably practicable for the authorised officer to obtain the authorisation of a senior officer before exercising the power. An authorised officer who has conducted a search in reliance on sub-paragraph (4) must inform a senior officer as soon as is practicable.

Sub-paragraph (1) applies to a driving licence if— the authorised officer finds the licence in the possession of a person who the authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing is not lawfully resident in the United Kingdom, or the authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that the holder of the licence is not lawfully resident in the United Kingdom. A driving licence seized under sub-paragraph (1) must, as soon as practicable, be given to— the Secretary of State, in the case of a licence granted by the Secretary of State, or the Department for Infrastructure for Northern Ireland, in the case of a licence granted by the Department. A person who is in possession of a driving licence by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) must retain it if— it has not been revoked, it has been revoked but the time limit for an appeal against revocation of the licence has not expired, or it has been revoked, such an appeal has been brought but the appeal has not been determined.

A power in subsection (1) or (3) may be exercised by a senior officer or constable at any place at which the senior officer or constable is lawfully present. A vehicle is a relevant vehicle in relation to P if the officer or constable concerned has reasonable grounds for believing it was used in the commission by P of an offence under section 24C. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the release of a vehicle detained under subsection (1) or (3). Regulations under subsection (8) may in particular make provision— for the release of a vehicle before the time mentioned in subsection (2) or (4); about the procedure by which a person may seek to have a vehicle released before or after that time; about the persons to whom a vehicle may or must be released before or after that time; prescribing conditions to be met before a vehicle may be released before or after that time (including a condition requiring the payment of costs in relation to detention of the vehicle and any application for its release); as to the destination of payments made in compliance with such a condition; enabling a person specified in the regulations to waive compliance with such a condition; as to the disposal of a vehicle in a case where such a condition is not met; as to the destination of the proceeds arising from the disposal of a vehicle in such a case.

The justice of the peace may issue a warrant authorising any senior officer or constable to enter, if need be by force, the premises for the purpose of searching for and detaining the vehicle. The premises referred to in subsection (4) are— one or more sets of premises specified in the application, or subject to subsection (10), any premises occupied or controlled by a person specified in the application, including such sets of premises as are so specified (in which case the application is for an “all premises warrant”). If the application is for an all premises warrant, the justice of the peace must also be satisfied— that there are reasonable grounds for believing that it is necessary to search premises occupied or controlled by the person in question which are not specified in the application in order to find the vehicle, and that it is not reasonably practicable to specify in the application all the premises which the person occupies or controls and which might need to be searched. Subject to subsection (10), the warrant may authorise entry to and search of premises on more than one occasion if, on the application, the justice of the peace is satisfied that it is necessary to authorise multiple entries in order to achieve the purpose for which the justice issues the warrant. If it authorises multiple entries, the number of entries authorised may be unlimited, or limited to a maximum. A justice of the peace in Scotland may not issue— an all premises warrant under this section, or a warrant under this section authorising multiple entries. In the application of this section to Scotland, references to a justice of the peace are to be read as references to the sheriff or a justice of the peace. If a person is convicted of an offence under section 24C, the court may order the forfeiture of the vehicle used in the commission of the offence. Where a person who claims to have an interest in the vehicle applies to the court to make representations on the question of forfeiture, the court may not make an order under this section in respect of the vehicle unless the person has been given an opportunity to make representations. For the purposes of subsection (2) the persons who have an interest in a vehicle include— a person who owns it, the person in whose name the vehicle is registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994, and a person who is in possession of it under a hire purchase agreement (or, in the case of a detained vehicle, was in possession of it under a hire purchase agreement immediately before its detention).

But a document or item may not be retained for a purpose mentioned in subsection (9) if a photograph or copy would be sufficient for that purpose. Section 28I of the Immigration Act 1971 (seized material: access and copying) applies to a document seized and retained under this section as it applies to anything seized and retained under Part 3 of that Act. The immigration officer may seize anything which the officer finds in the course of exercising a function under the Immigration Acts if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing— that it has been obtained in consequence of the commission of an offence, and that it is necessary to seize it in order to prevent it being concealed, lost, damaged, altered or destroyed. that it is evidence in relation to an offence, and that it is necessary to seize it in order to prevent the evidence being concealed, lost, altered or destroyed.

The reference in subsection (4) to information which is stored in any electronic form being produced is to such information being produced in a form— in which it can be taken away, and in which it is visible and legible or from which it can readily be produced in a visible and legible form.

If the person informs the immigration officer that the person will accept the item, the immigration officer must give it to the person as soon as is reasonably practicable. Once the item has been given as mentioned in subsection (6), any provision of an enactment which applies to items seized or taken away by the person applies to the item as if it had been seized or taken away by the person for the purposes of the investigation of the relevant offence. If the person informs the immigration officer that the person will not accept the item because subsection (5)(a) applies, the immigration officer must, as soon as is reasonably practicable, return the item in accordance with subsection (10). If the person informs the immigration officer that the person will not accept the item because subsection (5)(b) or (c) applies, the immigration officer must, as soon as is reasonably practicable— notify the exercise of a power mentioned in subsection (1) in relation to the item to another person (if any) who the immigration officer thinks has functions in relation to the investigation of the relevant offence, or if there is no such person, return the item in accordance with subsection (10). An item which must be returned in accordance with this subsection must be returned— to the person from whom it was seized, or if there is no such person, to the place from which it was seized or taken away. Where an item to which this section applies or information contained in such an item has been obtained in consequence of the commission of, or is evidence in relation to, more than one offence, references in this section to the relevant offence are to any of those offences.

A woman to whom this section applies may not be detained under a relevant detention power unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that— the woman will shortly be removed from the United Kingdom, or there are exceptional circumstances which justify the detention. In determining whether to authorise the detention under a relevant detention power of a woman to whom this section applies, a person who, apart from this section, has power to authorise the detention must have regard to the woman's welfare.

Schedule 11 (support for certain categories of migrant) has effect. The Secretary of State must, as soon as possible after the passing of this Act, make arrangements to relocate to the United Kingdom and support a specified number of unaccompanied refugee children from other countries in Europe. The number of children to be resettled under subsection (1) shall be determined by the Government in consultation with local authorities. The relocation of children under subsection (1) shall be in addition to the resettlement of children under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme. Schedule 12 (availability of local authority support) has effect. This section applies in relation to a local authority ... (“the first authority”) if— the authority has functions under any of the relevant provisions in relation to a relevant child, or functions under any of the relevant provisions may be conferred on the authority in relation to a relevant child. The first authority may make arrangements with another local authority in the same part of the United Kingdom (“the second authority”) under which— if this section applies to the authority by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1), the functions mentioned in that paragraph become functions of the second authority in relation to the relevant child, and if this section applies to the authority by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1), the functions mentioned in that paragraph become functions that may be conferred on the second authority in relation to the relevant child. The effect of arrangements under subsection (2) is that, from the time at which the arrangements have effect in accordance with their terms— functions under the relevant provisions cease to be functions of, and may not be conferred on, the first authority in relation to the relevant child (“C”), any of the relevant provisions which immediately before that time applied in relation to C as a result of C's connection with the first authority or the area of the first authority have effect as if C had that connection with the second authority or the area of the second authority (if that would not otherwise be the case), and C is to be treated for the purposes of the relevant provisions as if C were not and had never been ordinarily resident in the area of the first authority (if that would otherwise be the case). The first authority may make arrangements with another local authority in a different part of the United Kingdom (“the second authority”) having the effects mentioned in subsection (3B). The effects are that, from the time at which the arrangements have effect in accordance with their terms— the first authority ceases to have any functions in relation to the relevant child (“C”) under the relevant provisions and functions under those provisions may not be conferred on the first authority in relation to C, C is to be treated as having a like connection with the second authority, or the area of the second authority, as C had immediately before that time with the first authority or the area of the first authority, and C is to be treated for the purposes of the relevant provisions in relation to both the first authority and the second authority as if the first authority had never had any functions in relation to C. Where a statutory provision would, but for this subsection, require the approval of a court or of any other person for arrangements under subsection (3A), that statutory provision does not apply in relation to such arrangements. Subsections (3)(b) and (3B)(b) are subject to any change in C's circumstances after the time at which the arrangements have effect. Nothing in subsection (3) or (3B) affects any liability of the first authority in relation to C for any act or omission of the first authority before the time at which the arrangements have effect. The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about the effect of arrangements under this section. Arrangements under this section may not be brought to an end by the first or second authority once they have come into effect.

In this section “relevant child” means— a person under the age of 18 who is unaccompanied and has made a protection claim which has not been determined, a person under the age of 18 who is unaccompanied and who— requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom but does not have it, and is a person of a kind specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State, or has leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, and is a person of a kind specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the meaning of “unaccompanied” for the purposes of subsection (9). In subsection (9)— “protection claim” has the meaning given by section 82(2) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, and the reference to a protection claim having been determined is to be construed in accordance with section 94(3) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. In this section “statutory provision” means a provision made by or under— an Act, an Act of the Scottish Parliament, a Measure or Act of the National Assembly for Wales, or an Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

The information mentioned in subsection (1) is— information about the support or accommodation provided to children who are looked after by the local authority within the meaning of the relevant provisions; such other information as may be specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State. A local authority which is directed to provide information under this section must provide it— in such form and manner as the Secretary of State may direct, and before such time or before the end of such period as the Secretary of State may direct. In this section “local authority” and “relevant provisions” have the same meanings as in section 69. Subsection (2) applies if— a local authority ... (“the first authority”) requests another local authority ... (“the second authority”) to enter into arrangements under section 69, and the second authority does not comply with the first authority's request. The Secretary of State may direct the second authority to provide the first authority and the Secretary of State with written reasons for its failure to comply with the request. In this section “local authority” has the same meaning as in section 69. The Secretary of State may prepare a scheme for functions of, or which may be conferred on, a local authority ... (“the transferring authority”) to become functions of, or functions which may be conferred on, one or more other local authorities in the same part of the United Kingdom (a “receiving authority”) in accordance with arrangements under section 69(2). The Secretary of State may prepare a scheme in relation to a local authority to which section 69 applies (“the transferring authority”) and one or more other local authorities in one or more other parts of the United Kingdom (“a receiving authority”) having the effects mentioned in section 69(3B). A scheme under this section— must specify the local authorities to which it relates, and unless it relates to all relevant children who may be the subject of arrangements under section 69 between the transferring authority and each receiving authority, must specify the relevant child or children, or descriptions of relevant children, to which it relates. The Secretary of State may direct the transferring authority and each receiving authority under a scheme under this section to comply with the scheme. A direction may not be given under subsection (3) unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that compliance with the direction will not unduly prejudice the discharge by each receiving authority of any of its functions. Before giving a direction under subsection (3) to a local authority, the Secretary of State must give the authority notice in writing of the proposed direction. The Secretary of State may not give a direction to a local authority before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which notice under subsection (5) was given to it. The local authority may make written representations to the Secretary of State about the proposed direction within that period. The Secretary of State may modify or withdraw a direction under subsection (3) by notice in writing to the local authorities to which it was given. A modification or withdrawal of a direction does not affect any arrangements made under section 69 pursuant to the direction before it was modified or withdrawn. Subsections (5) to (7) apply to the modification or withdrawal of a direction as they apply to the giving of a direction, but as if— the reference to the proposed direction were to the proposed modification or proposal to withdraw the direction, and subsection (6) permitted the Secretary of State to withdraw the direction before the end of the 14 day period with the agreement of the local authorities to which it applies. In this section “local authority” , “relevant child” and “part of the United Kingdom” have the same meanings as in section 69.

In subsection (5) for “The Secretary of State may by order designate an instrument” substitute “ An instrument falls within this subsection ”. After subsection (5) insert— Subsection (1), (2) or (3) does not apply to a person if— the application of that subsection to that person would be contrary to the United Kingdom's obligations under— the Human Rights Convention (within the meaning given by section 167(1) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999), or the Refugee Convention (within the meaning given by that provision), or the person has been exempted from the application of that subsection under a process applying by virtue of the instrument falling within subsection (5).

For the purposes of this Part a person speaks fluent English if the person has a command of spoken English which is sufficient to enable the effective performance of the person's role. This section applies in relation to a person who is working in a customer-facing role for a public authority when this section comes into force as well as to a person who begins to work in such a role after that time. This section does not apply in relation to a person whose work is carried out wholly or mainly outside the United Kingdom. Subject as follows, in this Part “public authority” means a person with functions of a public nature. A person is not a public authority for the purposes of this Part if, apart from this subsection, the person would be a public authority for those purposes merely because the person exercises functions on behalf of another public authority. A person who exercises functions in relation to Scotland is a public authority for the purposes of this Part in relation to those functions only if and to the extent that those functions relate to a reserved matter. In subsection (3) “Scotland” and “reserved matter” have the same meanings as in the Scotland Act 1998.

In subsection (1) “contractor”, in relation to a public authority, means a person who— provides a service to members of the public as a result of an arrangement made with a public authority (whether or not by that person), but is not a public authority. For the purposes of subsection (1) a person works for a contractor if the person works— under a contract of employment with the contractor, under a contract of apprenticeship with the contractor, under a contract to do work personally with the contractor, in England and Wales or Scotland, as an agency worker within the meaning of the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/93) in respect of whom the contractor is the hirer within the meaning of those regulations, or in Northern Ireland, as an agency worker within the meaning of the Agency Workers Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011 (SR 2011/350) in respect of whom the contractor is the hirer within the meaning of those regulations.

A code of practice may make such other provision as the relevant Minister considers appropriate for securing that a person who works for a public authority to which the code applies in a customer-facing role speaks fluent English. A code of practice may make provision in relation to— all public authorities, particular descriptions of public authority, or particular public authorities. But the relevant Minister must ensure that there is at all times a code of practice in force which applies to each public authority. A code of practice may make different provision for different purposes, including different provision for different public authorities or descriptions of public authority. In preparing a code of practice the relevant Minister must consult such persons as the relevant Minister thinks appropriate. Before issuing a code of practice the relevant Minister must lay a draft of the code before Parliament. A code of practice comes into force in accordance with provision made by regulations made by the relevant Minister. After a code of practice has come into force the relevant Minister must publish it in such manner as the relevant Minister thinks appropriate. The relevant Minister may from time to time review a code of practice and may revise and re-issue it following a review. References in subsections (1) to (4) to a code of practice include a revised code. Subsection (2) makes provision about the application of this Part in relation to— a public authority that exercises functions only in Wales, and a public authority that exercises functions outside Wales and in Wales, to the extent that it exercises functions in Wales. In the provisions of this Part listed in subsection (3) references to English are to be read as references to English or Welsh.

After section 70 insert— The Secretary of State may by regulations provide for a charge to be imposed on— persons who make immigration skills arrangements, or any description of such persons. “Immigration skills arrangements” are arrangements made by a person (“the sponsor”) with the Secretary of State with a view to securing that an individual who is not exempt for the purposes of this section is granted entry clearance or leave to remain in the United Kingdom to enable the individual to work for the sponsor in the United Kingdom. Regulations under this section may in particular— impose a separate charge on a sponsor in respect of each individual in relation to whom the sponsor makes immigration skills arrangements; specify the amount of any charge (and different amounts may be specified for different purposes); make provision about when or how a charge may or must be paid to the Secretary of State; make provision about the consequences of a sponsor failing to pay a charge; provide for exemptions from a charge; provide for the reduction, waiver or refund of part or all of a charge (whether by conferring a discretion or otherwise). Sums paid by virtue of regulations under this section must— be paid into the Consolidated Fund, or be applied in such other way as the regulations may specify. Regulations under this section may be made only with the consent of the Treasury. An individual is exempt for the purposes of this section if he or she is— a British citizen; a national of an EEA State other than the United Kingdom; a national of Switzerland; otherwise entitled to enter or remain in the United Kingdom by virtue of an enforceable EU right or of any provision made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972. In this section “entry clearance” has the meaning given by section 33(1) of the Immigration Act 1971. In section 74(2) (orders and regulations which are subject to affirmative resolution procedure) after paragraph (j) insert— regulations under section 70A; The Secretary of State may by regulations provide for fees to be charged in respect of the exercise by the Secretary of State of such functions in connection with applications for the issue of a passport or other travel document as may be specified. Regulations under subsection (1) are referred to in this section and section 87 as “passport fees regulations”.

In subsection (1)(a)— “the Immigration Acts” has the meaning given by section 61(2) of the UK Borders Act 2007, and the reference to an offence under any of the Immigration Acts includes an offence under section 133(5) of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (breach of condition imposed on designated person). Subject to sub-paragraph (2), an amendment made by any of paragraphs 3, 4, 7 to 12, 18 to 23, 30, 32(2) and (3), 36 to 39 and 46 to 49 does not apply in relation to an application for a licence made before the coming into force of that paragraph or a licence granted in response to such an application. Sub-paragraph (1) does not prevent an amendment made by any of those paragraphs from applying in relation to— an application for the renewal of a licence where that licence was granted before the coming into force of that paragraph, or a licence renewed in response to such an application. Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), an amendment made by any of paragraphs 13, 14, 24, 25, 32(4), 40 and 50 applies in relation to a licence granted before or after the coming into force of that paragraph.

An immigration officer of at least the rank of chief immigration officer may issue an illegal working closure notice in respect of premises if satisfied on reasonable grounds that the conditions in sub-paragraphs (3) and (6) are met. An illegal working closure notice is a notice which prohibits, for a period specified in the notice— access to the premises other than by a person who habitually lives on the premises, except where authorised in writing by an immigration officer; paid or voluntary work being performed on the premises, except where so authorised. The condition in this sub-paragraph is that an employer operating at the premises is employing a person over the age of 16 and subject to immigration control— who has not been granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, or whose leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom— Where a person is on immigration bail within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 10— the person is to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) as if the person had been granted leave to enter the United Kingdom, but A person falling within sub-paragraph (3) is referred to in this Schedule as an “illegal worker”. The condition in this sub-paragraph is that the employer, or a connected person in relation to the employer— has been convicted of an offence under section 21 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”), has, during the period of three years ending with the date on which the illegal working closure notice is issued, been required to pay a penalty under section 15 of the 2006 Act, or has at any time been required to pay such a penalty and failed to pay it. Sub-paragraph (6)(a) does not apply in relation to a conviction which is a spent conviction for the purposes of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 or the Rehabilitation of Offenders (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 (S.I. 1978/1908 (N.I. 27)). For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6)(b) and (c)— a person to whom a penalty notice under section 15 of the 2006 Act has been given is not to be treated as having been required to pay the penalty if— the penalty is cancelled by virtue of section 16 or 17 of that Act; a person to whom such a notice has been given is not to be treated as having been required to pay the penalty until such time as— the period for giving a notice of objection under section 16 of the 2006 Act has expired and the Secretary of State has considered any notice given within that period, and For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6), a person is a connected person in relation to an employer if— where the employer is a body corporate, the person is— a director, manager or secretary of the body corporate, purporting to act as a director, manager or secretary of the body corporate, or if the affairs of the body corporate are managed by its members, a member of the body corporate; where the employer is a partnership (whether or not a limited partnership), the person is a partner or purporting to act as a partner; where the employer is an individual, the person is— a body corporate of which the individual has at any time been a director, manager or secretary, a body corporate in relation to which the individual has at any time purported to act as a director, manager or secretary, a body corporate whose affairs are managed by its members and the individual has at any time been a member of the body corporate, a partnership (whether or not a limited partnership) in which the individual has at any time been a partner or in relation to which the individual has at any time purported to act as a partner. An illegal working closure notice may not be issued if the employer shows in relation to the employment of each illegal worker that if a penalty notice were given under section 15 of the 2006 Act the employer would be excused under subsection (3) of that section from paying the penalty.

An illegal working closure notice may be issued only if reasonable efforts have been made to inform— people who live on the premises (whether habitually or not), and any person who has an interest in the premises, that the notice is going to be issued. Before issuing an illegal working closure notice the immigration officer must ensure that any person the officer thinks appropriate has been consulted. The Secretary of State may by regulations amend sub-paragraph (1) to change the rank specified in that sub-paragraph. An illegal working closure notice must— identify the premises; explain the effect of the notice; state that failure to comply with the notice is an offence; state that an application will be made under paragraph 5 for an illegal working compliance order; specify when and where the application will be heard; explain the effect of an illegal working compliance order. The maximum period that may be specified in an illegal working closure notice is 24 hours unless sub-paragraph (3) applies. The maximum period is 48 hours if the notice is issued by an immigration officer of at least the rank of immigration inspector. In calculating when the period of 48 hours ends, Christmas Day is to be disregarded. The period specified in an illegal working closure notice to which sub-paragraph (3) does not apply may be extended by up to 24 hours if an extension notice is issued by an officer of at least the rank of immigration inspector. An extension notice is a notice which— identifies the illegal working closure notice to which it relates, and specifies the period of the extension. The Secretary of State may by regulations amend sub-paragraph (3) or sub-paragraph (5) to change the rank specified in that sub-paragraph. An immigration officer may by the issue of a cancellation notice cancel an illegal working closure notice if— the immigration officer considers that the condition in paragraph 1(3) or (6) is not met, or the employer shows in relation to the employment of each illegal worker that if a penalty notice were given under section 15 of the 2006 Act the employer would be excused under subsection (3) of that section from paying the penalty. A cancellation notice may be issued only— by an immigration officer of at least the rank of the immigration officer who issued the illegal working closure notice, or where the illegal working closure notice has been extended by an extension notice, by an immigration officer of at least the rank of the immigration officer who issued the extension notice. A notice under paragraph 1, 2 or 3 must be served by an immigration officer. The immigration officer must if possible— fix a copy of the notice to at least one prominent place on the premises, fix a copy of the notice to each normal means of access to the premises, fix a copy of the notice to any outbuildings that appear to the immigration officer to be used with or as part of the premises, give a copy of the notice to at least one person who appears to the immigration officer to have control of or responsibility for the premises, give a copy of the notice to the people who live on the premises and to any person who does not live there but was informed (under paragraph 1(11)) that the notice was going to be issued. If the immigration officer reasonably believes, at the time of serving the notice, that there are persons occupying another part of the building or other structure in which the premises are situated whose access to that part will be impeded if an illegal working compliance order is made under paragraph 5, the immigration officer must also if possible serve the notice on those persons. The immigration officer may enter any premises, using reasonable force if necessary, for the purposes of complying with sub-paragraph (2)(a). Whenever an illegal working closure notice is issued an application must be made to the court for an illegal working compliance order (unless the notice has been cancelled under paragraph 3). An application for an illegal working compliance order must be made by an immigration officer. The application must be heard by the court not later than 48 hours after service of the illegal working closure notice. The court may make an illegal working compliance order in respect of premises if it is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities— that the conditions in paragraph 1(3) and (6) are met, and that it is necessary to make the illegal working compliance order to prevent an employer operating at the premises from employing an illegal worker. An illegal working compliance order may— prohibit or restrict access to the premises; require a person specified in the order to carry out, at such times as may be so specified, such checks relating to the right to work as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State in regulations; require a person specified in the order to produce to an immigration officer, at such times and such places as may be so specified, such documents relating to the right to work as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State in regulations; specify the times at which and the circumstances in which an immigration officer may enter the premises to carry out such investigations or inspections as may be specified in the order; make such other provision as the court considers appropriate. Different provisions in an illegal working compliance order may have effect for different periods. The maximum period for which an illegal working compliance order or any provision in it may have effect is 12 months. Provision included in an illegal working compliance order which prohibits or restricts access may make such provision— in relation to all persons, all persons except those specified, or all persons except those of a specified description; having effect at all times, or at all times except those specified; having effect in all circumstances, or in all circumstances except those specified. An illegal working compliance order, or any provision of it, may— be made in respect of the whole or any part of the premises; include provision about access to a part of the building or structure of which the premises form part. The court must notify the relevant licensing authority if it makes an illegal working compliance order in relation to premises in England and Wales in respect of which a premises licence is in force. Regulations under paragraph 5(6)(b) or (c) may, in particular— prescribe checks carried out using services provided by a DVS-registered person or a DVS-registered person of a prescribed description; prescribe documents generated by such a person; prescribe documents which were provided to such a person in order to generate such documents. In sub-paragraph (1), “DVS-registered person” means a person who is registered in the DVS register maintained under Part 2 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (“the DVS register”). Regulations under paragraph 5(6)(b) or (c) which prescribe a description of DVS-registered person may do so by, for example, describing a DVS-registered person whose entry in the DVS register includes a note relating to prescribed services (see section 36 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025). This paragraph applies where an application has been made under paragraph 5 for an illegal working compliance order. The court may adjourn the hearing of the application for a period of not more than 14 days to enable any person who has an interest in the premises to show why an illegal working compliance order should not be made. If the court adjourns the hearing it may order that the illegal working closure notice continues in force until the end of the period of adjournment. An immigration officer may apply to the court for an extension (or further extension) of the period for which any provision of an illegal working compliance order is in force. The court may grant an application under this paragraph only if it is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that it is necessary to grant it to prevent an employer operating at the premises from employing an illegal worker. Where an application is made under this section, the court may issue a summons directed to— any person on whom the illegal working closure notice was served under paragraph 4, or any other person who appears to the court to have an interest in the premises, requiring the person to appear before the court to respond to the application. If a summons is issued, a notice stating the date, time and place of the hearing of the application must be served on the persons to whom the summons is directed. No application may be granted under this paragraph such that an illegal working compliance order, or any provision in it— is extended for a period exceeding 6 months, or is in force for a period exceeding 24 months in total. An application may be made to the court under this paragraph— by an immigration officer for an illegal working compliance order to be varied or discharged, by a person on whom the illegal working closure notice was served under paragraph 4, or by any other person who has an interest in the premises, for an illegal working compliance order to be varied or discharged. Where an application is made under this paragraph, the court may issue a summons directed to— The court may not discharge an illegal working compliance order unless it is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that it is no longer necessary to prevent an employer operating at the premises from employing an illegal worker. An appeal against a decision— to make, extend or vary an illegal working compliance order; not to discharge an illegal working compliance order; to order that an illegal working closure notice continues in force, may be made by a person on whom the illegal working closure notice was served under paragraph 4, or any other person who has an interest in the premises. not to make an illegal working compliance order; not to extend a provision of an illegal working compliance order, or not to vary such an order, made on the application of an immigration officer; to vary or discharge an illegal working compliance order; not to order that an illegal working closure notice continues in force, may be made by an immigration officer. An appeal under this paragraph— if it is in relation to premises in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, is to the Crown Court, if it is in relation to premises in Scotland, is to the sheriff appeal court. An appeal under this paragraph must be made within the period of 21 days beginning with the date of the decision to which it relates. On an appeal under this paragraph the court may make whatever order it thinks appropriate. Where access to premises is prohibited or restricted by virtue of an illegal working closure notice or an illegal working compliance order an immigration officer or a constable may enter the premises and do anything necessary to secure the premises against entry. A person acting under sub-paragraph (1) may use reasonable force. An immigration officer or a constable, together with any person acting under that person's supervision, may also enter such premises to carry out essential maintenance or repairs. A person who without reasonable excuse remains on or enters premises in contravention of an illegal working closure notice commits an offence. A person who without reasonable excuse contravenes an illegal working compliance order commits an offence. A person who without reasonable excuse obstructs a person acting under paragraph 4 or paragraph 10 commits an offence. A person guilty of an offence under this paragraph is liable on summary conviction— in Scotland, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or to both; in Northern Ireland, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months, to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or to both. In relation to an offence committed before section 281(5) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 comes into force, the reference in sub-paragraph (4)(a) to 51 weeks is to be read as a reference to 6 months. Where— access to premises is prohibited or restricted by a provision of an illegal working compliance order, those premises are part of a building or structure, and there is another part of that building or structure that is not subject to the prohibition or restriction, an occupier or owner of that other part may apply to the court for an order under this paragraph. Notice of an application under this paragraph must be given to— whatever immigration officer the court thinks appropriate; each person on whom the illegal working closure notice was served under paragraph 4, any other person who has an interest in the premises. On an application under this paragraph the court may make whatever order it thinks appropriate in relation to access to any part of the building or structure mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), it does not matter whether provision has been made under paragraph 5(10)(b). Where the Secretary of State incurs expenditure for the purpose of clearing, securing or maintaining premises in respect of which an illegal working compliance order is in force, the Secretary of State may apply to the court for an order under this paragraph. On an application under this paragraph the court may make whatever order it thinks appropriate for the reimbursement (in full or in part) by the owner or occupier of the premises of the expenditure mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). An application for an order under this paragraph may not be heard unless it is made before the end of the period of 3 months starting with the day on which the illegal working compliance order ceases to have effect. An order under this paragraph may be made only against a person who has been served with the application for the order. Each of the following— the Secretary of State, a police officer, the chief officer of police under whose direction or control a police officer acts, is not liable for damages in proceedings for judicial review or the tort of negligence or misfeasance in public office, arising out of anything done or omitted to be done by the person in the exercise or purposed exercise of a power under this Schedule. Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to an act or omission shown to have been in bad faith. Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply so as to prevent an award of damages made in respect of an act or omission on the ground that the act or omission was unlawful by virtue of section 6(1) of the Human Rights Act 1998. This paragraph does not affect any other exemption from liability (whether at common law or otherwise). A person who claims to have incurred financial loss in consequence of an illegal working closure notice, other than one cancelled under paragraph 3(1)(b), may apply to the court for compensation. An application under this paragraph may not be heard unless it is made before the end of the period of 3 months starting with the day on which the notice ceases to have effect. On an application under this paragraph the court may order the payment of compensation out of money provided by Parliament if it is satisfied— that at the time the notice was issued, the condition in paragraph 1(3) or (6) was not met; that the applicant has incurred financial loss in consequence of the notice; and that having regard to all the circumstances it is appropriate to order payment of compensation in respect of that loss. The Secretary of State may issue guidance about the exercise of functions under this Schedule. The Secretary of State may revise any guidance issued under this paragraph. Before issuing or revising guidance under this paragraph the Secretary of State must consult— persons whom the Secretary of State considers to represent the views of immigration officers and of chief officers of police, and such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. The Secretary of State must arrange for any guidance issued or revised under this paragraph to be published. In this Schedule— “court”, except where the context otherwise requires, means— in relation to premises in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, the magistrates' court; in relation to premises in Scotland, the sheriff court; “owner” in relation to premises, means— a person (other than a mortgagee not in possession) entitled to dispose of the fee simple of the premises, whether in possession or in reversion; a person who holds or is entitled to the rents and profits of the premises under a lease that (when granted) was for a term of not less than 3 years; “person who has an interest”, in relation to premises, includes— the owner; any person with control of or responsibility for the premises; any person who otherwise occupies the premises; “premises” includes— any land, vehicle, vessel or other place (whether enclosed or not); any outbuildings that are, or are used as, part of premises; “premises licence” has the meaning given by section 11 of the Licensing Act 2003; “relevant licensing authority” has the meaning given by section 12 of that Act. a reference to employment is to employment under a contract of service or apprenticeship, whether express or implied and whether oral or written; a person is subject to immigration control if under the Immigration Act 1971 the person requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. After section 167(1) of the Licensing Act 2003 insert— This section also applies where a court has made an illegal working compliance order under Schedule 6 to the Immigration Act 2016 and the relevant licensing authority has accordingly received a notice under that Schedule. After section 40 (prohibition on opening current accounts for disqualified persons) insert— A bank or building society must, at such times or with such frequency as is specified in regulations made by the Treasury, carry out an immigration check in relation to each current account held with it that is not an excluded account. For the purposes of this section carrying out an “immigration check” in relation to a current account means checking whether, according to information supplied by the Secretary of State to a specified anti-fraud organisation or a specified data-matching authority, the account is operated by or for a disqualified person. A “disqualified person” is a person— who is in the United Kingdom, who requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom but does not have it, and for whom the Secretary of State considers that a current account should not be provided by a bank or building society. A current account is an excluded account for the purposes of subsection (1) if the account is operated by or for a person or body of a description specified in regulations made by the Treasury. An account is operated by or for a person or body if the person or body is an account holder or a signatory or identified as a beneficiary in relation to the account. A bank or building society must— make arrangements with a specified anti-fraud organisation or a specified data-matching authority for the purpose of enabling the bank or building society to carry out immigration checks in relation to current accounts, and pay any reasonable fee required to be paid under those arrangements. In this section “specified anti-fraud organisation” and “specified data-matching authority” have the same meaning as in section 40(3)(a). This section applies where, as a result of an immigration check carried out under section 40A, a bank or building society identifies a current account that is operated by or for a person who the bank or building society believes to be a disqualified person. Where this section applies, the bank or building society (as the case may be) must as soon as reasonably practicable— notify the Secretary of State that a current account held with it is operated by or for a person who it believes to be a disqualified person, and provide the Secretary of State with such other information as may be prescribed. A notification made, or information provided, under subsection (2) must be made or provided in the prescribed form and manner. In subsections (2) and (3) “prescribed” means prescribed in regulations made by the Treasury. Regulations under subsection (2) may (in particular) require the provision of information relating to any accounts held with the bank or building society that are operated by or for the person who is believed to be a disqualified person. Where the Secretary of State receives a notification from a bank or building society under section 40B(2) in relation to a person, the Secretary of State must check whether the person is a disqualified person. If the Secretary of State determines that the person is a disqualified person, the Secretary of State may apply under section 40D for a freezing order in respect of one or more of the accounts held with the bank or building society that are operated by or for the disqualified person. If the Secretary of State decides not to apply for a freezing order under subsection (2), or decides to apply for a freezing order in respect of one or more but not all of the accounts held with the bank or building society that are operated by or for the disqualified person, the Secretary of State must notify the bank or building society that it is subject to the duty in section 40G(2) in relation to the disqualified person. A notification made under subsection (3) must contain the prescribed information and be made in the prescribed form and manner. In subsection (4) “prescribed” means prescribed in regulations made by the Treasury. If the Secretary of State determines that the person is not a disqualified person, the Secretary of State must notify the bank or building society accordingly. On an application by the Secretary of State under section 40C(2), the court may make a freezing order in respect of any account specified in the application. A freezing order in respect of an account is an order that prohibits each person and body by or for whom the account is operated from making withdrawals or payments from the account. A freezing order may be made subject to exceptions. An exception may (in particular)— make provision for the disqualified person to meet his or her reasonable living expenses and reasonable legal expenses; allow another person or body by or for whom the account is operated to make withdrawals or payments from the account. An application for a freezing order may be made without notice. The court may vary or discharge a freezing order made in respect of an account (whether made under this section or on an appeal under section 40E) on an application made by— the Secretary of State, or a person or body by or for whom the account is operated. If the Secretary of State applies for a freezing order in respect of an account and the order is not made, or the order is made but subsequently discharged, the Secretary of State must notify the bank or building society that it is subject to the duty in section 40G(2) in relation to the disqualified person. A notification made under subsection (7) must contain the information and be in the form and manner prescribed in regulations made under subsection (4) of section 40C for the purposes of subsection (3) of that section. “the court” means— in England and Wales, a magistrates' court; in Scotland, the sheriff; in Northern Ireland, a court of summary jurisdiction; “the disqualified person” means the person who, following a check under section 40C(1), was determined to be a disqualified person, resulting in the application for the freezing order. An appeal may be made to the relevant appeal court against a decision of a court under section 40D. The right of appeal under subsection (1) is exercisable by— the Secretary of State, and if the decision relates to a freezing order that is in force in respect of an account, a person or body by or for whom the account is operated. On an appeal under this section the relevant appeal court may make— whatever orders are necessary to give effect to its determination of the appeal; whatever incidental or consequential orders appear to it to be just. In this section “the relevant appeal court” means— the Crown Court, where the decision appealed against is a decision of a magistrates' court; the Sheriff Appeal Court, where the decision appealed against is a decision of the sheriff; a county court, where the decision appealed against is a decision of a court of summary jurisdiction. The Secretary of State must issue a code of practice— specifying the factors that the Secretary of State will consider when deciding whether to apply for a freezing order under section 40C(2), outlining the arrangements for keeping a freezing order under review for the purpose of deciding whether to apply under section 40D(6) for its variation or discharge, and specifying the factors that the Secretary of State will consider when deciding whether to make such an application. The Secretary of State must from time to time review the code and may revise and re-issue it following a review. The code (or revised code)— may not be issued unless a draft has been laid before Parliament, and comes into force in accordance with provision contained in regulations made by the Secretary of State. This section applies where— a bank or building society makes a notification under section 40B(2) in relation to a person, the person is determined by the Secretary of State (following a check under section 40C(1)) to be a disqualified person, and the bank or building society receives a notification under section 40C(3) or 40D(7) in relation to the disqualified person. Where this section applies the bank or building society must as soon as reasonably practicable close each account held with it that— in the case of a notification under section 40C(3), is operated by or for the disqualified person and is not the subject of an application for a freezing order; in the case of a notification under section 40D(7), is operated by or for the disqualified person and in respect of which a freezing order is not in force.

Where subsection (3) applies, closure of the account may be delayed for such period as is reasonable (but not indefinitely). If an account falling within subsection (2) is operated by or for the disqualified person and one or more bodies or other persons, the bank or building society is to be treated as having complied with that subsection in relation to that account if, as soon as reasonably practicable, it takes all such steps as are necessary to prevent the account from being operated by or for the disqualified person (instead of closing the account). Where the bank or building society closes an account in compliance with this section, it must tell each person or body by or for whom the account is operated, if it may lawfully do so, why it has closed the account. Where the bank or building society prevents an account from being operated by or for the disqualified person by virtue of subsection (5), it must tell each person or body by or for whom the account is operated, if it may lawfully do so, why it has prevented the account from being operated by or for the disqualified person. The bank or building society must provide the Secretary of State with information about the steps that it has taken to comply with this section. Information provided under subsection (8) must be provided in the prescribed form and manner and at the prescribed times or with the prescribed frequency.

The Secretary of State may grant a person bail if the person is liable to detention under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). The First-tier Tribunal may, on an application made to the Tribunal for the grant of bail to a person, grant that person bail if— the person is being detained under paragraph 16(1), (1A) or (2) of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971, the person is being detained under paragraph 2(1), (2) or (3) of Schedule 3 to that Act, the person is being detained under section 62 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, or the person is being detained under section 36(1) of the UK Borders Act 2007. In this Schedule references to the grant of immigration bail, in relation to a person, are to the grant of bail to that person under any of sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) or under paragraph 10(12) or (13) (release following arrest for breach of bail conditions). A person may be granted and remain on immigration bail even if the person can no longer be detained, if— the person is liable to detention under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), or the Secretary of State is considering whether to make a deportation order against the person under section 5(1) of the Immigration Act 1971. A grant of immigration bail to a person does not prevent the person's subsequent detention under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). For the purposes of this Schedule a person is on immigration bail from when a grant of immigration bail to the person commences to when it ends. A grant of immigration bail to a person ends when— in a case where sub-paragraph (5) applied to the person, that sub-paragraph no longer applies to the person, the person is granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, the person is detained under a provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), or the person is removed from or otherwise leaves the United Kingdom. This paragraph is subject to paragraph 3 (exercise of power to grant immigration bail). Subject to sub-paragraph (2), if immigration bail is granted to a person, it must be granted subject to one or more of the following conditions— a condition requiring the person to appear before the Secretary of State or the First-tier Tribunal at a specified time and place; a condition restricting the person's work, occupation or studies in the United Kingdom; a condition about the person's residence; a condition requiring the person to report to the Secretary of State or such other person as may be specified; an electronic monitoring condition (see paragraph 4); a condition requiring the person to be at a particular place between particular times, either on particular days or on any day; a condition requiring the person to remain within a particular area; a condition prohibiting the person from being in a particular area; such other conditions as the person granting the immigration bail thinks fit. Sub-paragraph (3) applies in place of sub-paragraph (1) in relation to a person who is being detained under a provision mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(b) or (d) or who is liable to detention under such a provision. If immigration bail is granted to such a person— subject to sub-paragraphs (5) to (9), it must be granted subject to an electronic monitoring condition, if, by virtue of sub-paragraph (5) or (7), it is not granted subject to an electronic monitoring condition, it must be granted subject to one or more of the other conditions mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), and if it is granted subject to an electronic monitoring condition, it may be granted subject to one or more of those other conditions. Immigration bail granted in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) or (3) may also be granted subject to a financial condition (see paragraph 5).

Sub-paragraph (3)(a) does not apply to a person who is granted immigration bail by the Secretary of State if the Secretary of State considers that to impose an electronic monitoring condition on the person would be— impractical, or contrary to the person's Convention rights. Where sub-paragraph (5) applies, the Secretary of State must not grant immigration bail to the person subject to an electronic monitoring condition. Sub-paragraph (3)(a) does not apply to a person who is granted immigration bail by the First-tier Tribunal if the Secretary of State informs the Tribunal that the Secretary of State considers that to impose an electronic monitoring condition on the person would be— Where sub-paragraph (7) applies, the First-tier Tribunal must not grant immigration bail to the person subject to an electronic monitoring condition. In considering for the purposes of this Schedule whether it would be impractical to impose an electronic monitoring condition on a person, or would be impractical for a person to continue to be subject to such a condition, the Secretary of State may in particular have regard to— any obstacles to making arrangements of the kind mentioned in paragraph 4 in relation to the person, the resources that are available for imposing electronic monitoring conditions on persons to whom sub-paragraph (2) applies and for managing the operation of such conditions in relation to such persons, the need to give priority to the use of those resources in relation to particular categories of persons to whom that sub-paragraph applies, and the matters listed in paragraph 3(2) as they apply to the person. In this Schedule “Convention rights” is to be construed in accordance with section 1 of the Human Rights Act 1998. In this Schedule “bail condition”, in relation to a person on immigration bail, means a condition to which the person's bail is subject. The Secretary of State or the First-tier Tribunal must have regard to the matters listed in sub-paragraph (2) in determining— whether to grant immigration bail to a person, and the conditions to which a person's immigration bail is to be subject. Those matters are— the likelihood of the person failing to comply with a bail condition, whether the person has been convicted of an offence (whether in or outside the United Kingdom or before or after the coming into force of this paragraph), the likelihood of a person committing an offence while on immigration bail, the likelihood of the person's presence in the United Kingdom, while on immigration bail, causing a danger to public health or being a threat to the maintenance of public order, whether the person's detention is necessary in that person's interests or for the protection of any other person, whether the person has failed without reasonable excuse to cooperate with any process— for determining whether the person requires or should be granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, for determining the period for which the person should be granted such leave and any conditions to which it should be subject, for determining whether the person’s leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom should be varied, curtailed, suspended or cancelled, for determining whether the person should be removed from the United Kingdom, or for removing the person from the United Kingdom, and such other matters as the Secretary of State or the First-tier Tribunal thinks relevant. A person who is being detained under paragraph 16(1) of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 must not be granted immigration bail by the First-tier Tribunal until after the end of the period of 8 days beginning with the date of the person's arrival in the United Kingdom. A person must not be granted immigration bail by the First-tier Tribunal without the consent of the Secretary of State if— directions for the removal of the person from the United Kingdom are for the time being in force, and the directions require the person to be removed from the United Kingdom within the period of 21 days beginning with the date of the decision on whether the person should be granted immigration bail. If the Secretary of State or the First-tier Tribunal decides to grant, or to refuse to grant, immigration bail to a person, the Secretary of State or the Tribunal must give the person notice of the decision. Where the First-tier Tribunal is required under sub-paragraph (5) to a give a person notice of a decision, it must also give the Secretary of State notice of the decision. Where the decision is to grant immigration bail, a notice under sub-paragraph (5) or (6) must state— when the grant of immigration bail commences, and the bail conditions. The commencement of a grant of immigration bail may be specified to be conditional on arrangements specified in the notice being in place to ensure that the person is able to comply with the bail conditions. In this Schedule an “electronic monitoring condition” means a condition requiring the person on whom it is imposed (“P”) to co-operate with such arrangements as the Secretary of State may specify for detecting and recording by electronic means one or more of the following— P's location at specified times, during specified periods of time or while the arrangements are in place; P's presence in a location at specified times, during specified periods of time or while the arrangements are in place; P's absence from a location at specified times, during specified periods of time or while the arrangements are in place. The arrangements may in particular— require P to wear a device; require P to make specified use of a device; require P to communicate in a specified manner and at specified times or during specified periods; involve the exercise of functions by persons other than the Secretary of State or the First-tier Tribunal. If the arrangements require P to wear, or make specified use of, a device they must— prohibit P from causing or permitting damage to, or interference with the device, and prohibit P from taking or permitting action that would or might prevent the effective operation of the device. In this paragraph “specified” means specified in the arrangements. An electronic monitoring condition may not be imposed on a person unless the person is at least 18 years old. In this Schedule a “financial condition” means a condition requiring the payment of a sum of money by the person to whom immigration bail is granted (“P”) or another person, in a case where P fails to comply with another condition to which P's immigration bail is subject. A financial condition may be imposed on P only if the person imposing the condition thinks that it would be appropriate to do so with a view to ensuring that P complies with the other bail conditions. The financial condition must specify— the sum of money required to be paid, when it is to be paid, and the form and manner in which it is to be paid. A sum to be paid under a financial condition is to be paid to the person who granted the immigration bail, subject to sub-paragraph (5). If the First-tier Tribunal has directed that the power in paragraph 6(1) (power to vary bail conditions) is to be exercisable by the Secretary of State in relation to P, the sum is to be paid to the Secretary of State. No sum is required to be paid under a financial condition unless the person who is liable to make a payment under it has been given an opportunity to make representations to the person to whom it is to be paid. In England and Wales a sum payable under a financial condition is recoverable as if it were payable under an order of the county court in England and Wales. In Scotland a sum payable under a financial condition may be enforced in the same manner as an extract registered decree arbitral bearing a warrant for execution issued by the sheriff court of any sheriffdom in Scotland. In Northern Ireland a sum payable under a financial condition is recoverable as if it were payable under an order of a county court in Northern Ireland. Where action is taken under this paragraph for the recovery of a sum payable under a financial condition, the requirement to pay the sum is— in relation to England and Wales, to be treated for the purposes of section 98 of the Courts Act 2003 (register of judgments and orders etc) as if it were a judgment entered in the county court; in relation to Northern Ireland, to be treated for the purposes of Article 116 of the Judgments Enforcement (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (S.I. 1981/226 (N.I. 6)) (register of judgments) as if it were a judgment in respect of which an application has been accepted under Article 22 or 23(1) of that Order. Subject to this paragraph and to paragraphs 7 and 8, where a person is on immigration bail— any of the conditions to which it is subject may be amended or removed, or one or more new conditions of the kind mentioned in paragraph 2(1) or (4) may be imposed on the person. The power in sub-paragraph (1) is exercisable by the person who granted the immigration bail, subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4). The Secretary of State may exercise the power in sub-paragraph (1) in relation to a person to whom immigration bail was granted by the First-tier Tribunal if the Tribunal so directs. If the First-tier Tribunal gives a direction under sub-paragraph (3), the Tribunal may not exercise the power in sub-paragraph (1) in relation to the person. The First-tier Tribunal may not exercise the power in sub-paragraph (1)(a) so as to amend an electronic monitoring condition. If the Secretary of State or the First-tier Tribunal exercises, or refuses to exercise, the power in sub-paragraph (1), the Secretary of State or the Tribunal must give notice to the person who is on immigration bail. Where the First-tier Tribunal is required under sub-paragraph (6) to give notice to a person, it must also give notice to the Secretary of State. This paragraph applies to a person who— is on immigration bail— pursuant to a grant by the Secretary of State, or pursuant to a grant by the First-tier Tribunal in a case where the Tribunal has directed that the power in paragraph 6(1) is exercisable by the Secretary of State, and before the grant of immigration bail, was detained or liable to detention under a provision mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(b) or (d). Where the person is subject to an electronic monitoring condition, the Secretary of State— must not exercise the power in paragraph 6(1) so as to remove the condition unless sub-paragraph (3) applies, but if that sub-paragraph applies, must exercise that power so as to remove the condition. This sub-paragraph applies if the Secretary of State considers that— it would be impractical for the person to continue to be subject to the condition, or it would be contrary to that person's Convention rights for the person to continue to be subject to the condition. If, by virtue of paragraph 2(5) or (7) or this paragraph, the person is not subject to an electronic monitoring condition, the Secretary of State— must not exercise the power in paragraph 6(1) so as to impose such a condition on the person unless sub-paragraph (5) applies, but if that sub-paragraph applies, must exercise that power so as to impose such a condition on the person. This sub-paragraph applies if, having considered whether it would be impractical or contrary to the person's Convention rights to impose such a condition on the person, the Secretary of State— does not consider that it would be impractical to do so, and does not consider that it would be contrary to the person's Convention rights to do so. is on immigration bail pursuant to a grant by the First-tier Tribunal in a case where the Tribunal has not directed that the power in paragraph 6(1) is exercisable by the Secretary of State, and before the person was granted immigration bail, was detained or liable to detention under a provision mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(b) or (d). Where the person is subject to an electronic monitoring condition, the First-tier Tribunal— This sub-paragraph applies if the Secretary of State notifies the First-tier Tribunal that the Secretary of State considers that— If, by virtue of paragraph 2(7) or this paragraph, the person is not subject to an electronic monitoring condition, the First-tier Tribunal— This sub-paragraph applies if the Secretary of State notifies the First-tier Tribunal that the Secretary of State— does not consider that it would be impractical to impose such a condition on the person, and does not consider that it would be contrary to the person's Convention rights to impose such a condition on the person. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where— a person is on immigration bail subject to a condition requiring the person to reside at an address specified in the condition, and the person would not be able to support himself or herself at the address unless the power in sub-paragraph (2) were exercised. The Secretary of State may provide, or arrange for the provision of, facilities for the accommodation of that person at that address. But the power in sub-paragraph (2) applies only to the extent that the Secretary of State thinks that there are exceptional circumstances which justify the exercise of the power. The Secretary of State may make a payment to a person on immigration bail in respect of travelling expenses which the person has incurred or will incur for the purpose of complying with a bail condition. But the power in sub-paragraph (4) applies only to the extent that the Secretary of State thinks that there are exceptional circumstances which justify the making of the payment. An immigration officer or a constable may arrest without warrant a person on immigration bail if the immigration officer or constable— has reasonable grounds for believing that the person is likely to fail to comply with a bail condition, or has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person is failing, or has failed, to comply with a bail condition. Sub-paragraph (3) applies if an appropriate judicial officer is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that a person liable to be arrested under this paragraph is to be found on any premises. The appropriate judicial officer may issue a warrant authorising any immigration officer or constable to enter, by reasonable force if necessary, the premises named in the warrant for the purposes of searching for and arresting that person. Sections 28J and 28K of the Immigration Act 1971 (warrants: application and execution) apply, with any necessary modifications, to warrants under sub-paragraph (3). a warrant under this paragraph is issued for the purposes of the arrest of a person under this paragraph, and an immigration officer or a constable enters premises in reliance on the warrant and detains a person on the premises. A detainee custody officer may enter the premises, if need be by reasonable force, for the purpose of carrying out a search. In sub-paragraph (6)— “detainee custody officer” means a person in respect of whom a certificate of authorisation is in force under section 154 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (detained persons: escort and custody), and “search” means a search under paragraph 2(1)(a) of Schedule 13 to that Act (escort arrangements: power to search detained person). Paragraphs 25A to 25C of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 (entry and search of persons and premises) apply in relation to a person arrested under this paragraph as they apply in relation to a person arrested under that Schedule. A person arrested under this paragraph— must, as soon as is practicable after the person's arrest, be brought before the relevant authority, and may be detained under the authority of the Secretary of State in the meantime. The relevant authority is— the Secretary of State, if the Secretary of State granted immigration bail to the arrested person or the First-tier Tribunal has directed that the power in paragraph 6(1) is exercisable by the Secretary of State in relation to that person, or otherwise, the First-tier Tribunal. Where an arrested person is brought before the relevant authority, the relevant authority must decide whether the arrested person has broken or is likely to break any of the bail conditions. If the relevant authority decides the arrested person has broken or is likely to break any of the bail conditions, the relevant authority must— direct that the person is to be detained under the provision mentioned in paragraph 1(1) under which the person is liable to be detained, or grant the person bail subject to the same or different conditions, subject to sub-paragraph (14). If the relevant authority decides the person has not broken and is not likely to break any of the bail conditions, the relevant authority must grant the person bail subject to the same conditions (but this is subject to sub-paragraph (14), and does not prevent the subsequent exercise of the powers in paragraph 6). The power in sub-paragraph (12) to grant bail subject to the same conditions and the duty in sub-paragraph (13) to do so do not affect the requirement for the grant of bail to comply with paragraph 2. In this paragraph— “appropriate judicial officer” means— in relation to England and Wales, a justice of the peace; in relation to Scotland, the sheriff or a justice of the peace; in relation to Northern Ireland, a lay magistrate; “premises”— in relation to England and Wales, has the same meaning as in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984; in relation to Scotland, has the same meaning as in section 412 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002; in relation to Northern Ireland, has the same meaning as in the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (SI 1989/1341 (NI 12)). Subject as follows, the Secretary of State must arrange a reference to the First-tier Tribunal for the Tribunal to decide whether to grant bail to a person if— the person is being detained under a provision mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(a) or (c), and the period of four months beginning with the relevant date has elapsed. In sub-paragraph (1)(b) “the relevant date” means— the date on which the person's detention began, or if a relevant event has occurred in relation to the person since that date, the last date on which such an event has occurred in relation to the person. The following are relevant events in relation to a person for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(b)— consideration by the First-tier Tribunal of whether to grant immigration bail to the person; withdrawal by the person of an application for immigration bail treated as made by the person as the result of a reference under this paragraph; withdrawal by the person of a notice given under sub-paragraph (6)(b). The reference in sub-paragraph (3)(a) to consideration of whether to grant immigration bail to a person— includes such consideration regardless of whether there is a hearing or the First-tier Tribunal makes a determination in the case in question; includes the dismissal of an application by virtue of provision made under paragraph 12(2). The reference in sub-paragraph (3)(a) to consideration of whether to grant immigration bail to a person does not include such consideration in a case where— the person has made an application for bail, other than one treated as made by the person as the result of a reference under this paragraph, and the First-tier Tribunal is prevented from granting bail to the person by paragraph 3(4) (requirement for Secretary of State's consent to bail). The duty in sub-paragraph (1) to arrange a reference does not apply if— section 3(2) of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997 (persons detained in interests of national security etc) applies to the person, or the person has given to the Secretary of State, and has not withdrawn, written notice that the person does not wish the person's case to be referred to the First-tier Tribunal under this paragraph. A reference to the First-tier Tribunal under this paragraph in relation to a person is to be treated for all purposes as an application by that person for the grant of bail under paragraph 1(3). Tribunal Procedure Rules must make provision with respect to applications to the First-tier Tribunal under this Schedule and matters arising out of such applications. Tribunal Procedure Rules must secure that, where the First-tier Tribunal has decided not to grant a person immigration bail, the Tribunal must dismiss without a hearing any further application for the person to be granted immigration bail which— is an application to which sub-paragraph (3) applies, but is not an application to which sub-paragraph (4) applies. This sub-paragraph applies to an application made during the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the decision mentioned in sub-paragraph (2). This sub-paragraph applies to an application on which the person demonstrates there has been a material change in the person's circumstances. Regulations under section 92(1) may, in particular, provide for a person to whom this sub-paragraph applies to be treated, for such purposes as may be specified, as having been granted immigration bail in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as may be specified. Sub-paragraph (1) applies to a person who, at the specified time, was not in detention on the basis that— the person had been temporarily admitted to the United Kingdom under paragraph 21 of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971, the person had been released from detention under that paragraph, the person was liable to be detained under paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 3 to the Immigration Act 1971 but, by virtue of a direction of the Secretary of State or the court, was not so detained, the person was liable to be detained under paragraph 2(2) or (3) of that Schedule but was not so detained, the person had been released from detention under section 36(3) of the UK Borders Act 2007, or the person had been released on bail from detention under any provision of the Immigration Acts. Regulations under section 92(1) may, in particular— make provision about the circumstances in which the power in paragraph 6(1) may or must be exercised so as to impose an electronic monitoring condition on a person to whom this sub-paragraph applies; enable the Secretary of State to exercise a discretion in determining whether an electronic monitoring condition should be imposed on such a person, and may, in particular, do so by providing for paragraph 7 or 8 to have effect with modifications in relation to such a person. Sub-paragraph (3) applies to a person who— by virtue of regulations under section 92(1) is treated as having been granted immigration bail as a result of falling within— sub-paragraph (2)(c), (d) or (e), or sub-paragraph (2)(f) on the basis that the person had been released on bail from detention under paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the Immigration Act 1971, is not treated as being subject to an electronic monitoring condition, and is not otherwise subject to an electronic monitoring condition. is on immigration bail pursuant to a grant before the coming into force of paragraph 2(2) and (3), or the coming into force of those provisions in relation to grants of that kind, before the grant of immigration bail, was detained or liable to detention under a provision mentioned in paragraph 1(1)(b) or (d), and is not subject to an electronic monitoring condition.
