Be it enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:— In the 1971 Act, after section 3, insert— The Secretary of State may by order make further provision with respect to the giving, refusing or varying of leave to enter the United Kingdom. An order under subsection (1) may, in particular, provide for— leave to be given or refused before the person concerned arrives in the United Kingdom; the form or manner in which leave may be given, refused or varied; the imposition of conditions; a person’s leave to enter not to lapse on his leaving the common travel area. The Secretary of State may by order provide that, in such circumstances as may be prescribed— an entry visa, or such other form of entry clearance as may be prescribed, is to have effect as leave to enter the United Kingdom. An order under subsection (3) may, in particular— provide for a clearance to have effect as leave to enter— on a prescribed number of occasions during the period for which the clearance has effect; on an unlimited number of occasions during that period; subject to prescribed conditions; and provide for a clearance which has the effect referred to in paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) to be varied by the Secretary of State or an immigration officer so that it ceases to have that effect. Only conditions of a kind that could be imposed on leave to enter given under section 3 may be prescribed. In subsections (3), (4) and (5) “prescribed” means prescribed in an order made under subsection (3). The Secretary of State may, in such circumstances as may be prescribed in an order made by him, give or refuse leave to enter the United Kingdom. An order under subsection (7) may provide that, in such circumstances as may be prescribed by the order, paragraphs 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 21 of Part I of Schedule 2 to this Act are to be read, in relation to the exercise by the Secretary of State of functions which he has as a result of the order, as if references to an immigration officer included references to the Secretary of State. Subsection (8) is not to be read as affecting any power conferred by subsection (10). An order under this section may— contain such incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate; and make different provision for different cases. This Act and any provision made under it has effect subject to any order made under this section. An order under this section must be made by statutory instrument. But no such order is to be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House. In the 1971 Act, after section 3A, insert— The Secretary of State may by order make further provision with respect to the giving, refusing or varying of leave to remain in the United Kingdom. a person’s leave to remain in the United Kingdom not to lapse on his leaving the common travel area. In the 1971 Act, after section 3B, insert— This section applies if— a person who has limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom applies to the Secretary of State, before his leave expires, for it to be varied; and when it expires, no decision has been taken on the application. His leave is to be treated as continuing until the end of the period allowed under rules made under paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 to the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 for bringing an appeal against a decision on the application. An application for variation of a person’s leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom may not be made while that leave is treated as continuing as a result of this section. But subsection (3) does not prevent the variation of an application mentioned in subsection (1). The Secretary of State may provide, or arrange for the provision of, facilities for the accommodation of persons— temporarily admitted to the United Kingdom under paragraph 21 of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act; released from detention under that paragraph; or released on bail from detention under any provision of the Immigration Acts. The Secretary of State may provide, or arrange for the provision of, facilities for the accommodation of a person if— he was (but is no longer) an asylum-seeker, and his claim for asylum was rejected or declared inadmissible (see sections 80A and 80B of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002). The Secretary of State may provide, or arrange for the provision of, facilities for the accommodation of a dependant of a person for whom facilities may be provided under subsection (2). The following expressions have the same meaning in this section as in Part VI of this Act (as defined in section 94)— asylum-seeker, claim for asylum, and dependant. The Secretary of State may make regulations specifying criteria to be used in determining— whether or not to provide accommodation, or arrange for the provision of accommodation, for a person under this section; whether or not to continue to provide accommodation, or arrange for the provision of accommodation, for a person under this section. The regulations may, in particular— provide for the continuation of the provision of accommodation for a person to be conditional upon his performance of or participation in community activities in accordance with arrangements made by the Secretary of State; provide for the continuation of the provision of accommodation to be subject to other conditions; provide for the provision of accommodation (or the continuation of the provision of accommodation) to be a matter for the Secretary of State’s discretion to a specified extent or in a specified class of case.

Regulations by virtue of subsection (6)(a) may, in particular, provide for a condition requiring the performance of or participation in community activities to apply to a person only if the Secretary of State has made arrangements for community activities in an area that includes the place where accommodation is provided for the person. A local authority or other person may undertake to manage or participate in arrangements for community activities in accordance with this section. The Secretary of State may make regulations permitting a person who is provided with accommodation under this section to be supplied also with services or facilities of a specified kind. Regulations under subsection (10)— may, in particular, permit a person to be supplied with a voucher which may be exchanged for goods or services, may not permit a person to be supplied with money, may restrict the extent or value of services or facilities to be provided, and may confer a discretion. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In the 1971 Act, in section 8 (exceptions for certain categories of person), for subsection (3A) (members of diplomatic missions) substitute— For the purposes of subsection (3), a member of a mission other than a diplomatic agent (as defined by the 1964 Act) is not to count as a member of a mission unless— he was resident outside the United Kingdom, and was not in the United Kingdom, when he was offered a post as such a member; and he has not ceased to be such a member after having taken up the post. In the 1971 Act, after section 8, insert— A person is exempt for the purposes of this section if he is exempt from provisions of this Act as a result of section 8(2) or (3). If a person who is exempt— ceases to be exempt, and requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as a result, he is to be treated as if he had been given leave to remain in the United Kingdom for a period of 90 days beginning on the day on which he ceased to be exempt. If— a person who is exempt ceases to be exempt, and there is in force in respect of him leave for him to enter or remain in the United Kingdom which expires before the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2), his leave is to be treated as expiring at the end of that period. In the 1971 Act, after section 8A, insert— An excluded person must be refused— leave to enter the United Kingdom; leave to remain in the United Kingdom. A person’s leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom is cancelled on his becoming an excluded person. A persons’s exemption from the provisions of this Act as a result of section 8(1), (2) or (3) ceases on his becoming an excluded person. “Excluded person” means a person— named by or under, or of a description specified in, a designated instrument. The Secretary of State may by order designate an instrument if it is a resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations or an instrument made by the Council of the European Union and it— requires that a person is not to be admitted to the United Kingdom (however that requirement is expressed); or recommends that a person should not be admitted to the United Kingdom (however that recommendation is expressed). Subsections (1) to (3) are subject to such exceptions (if any) as may specified in the order designating the instrument in question. Such a statutory instrument shall be laid before Parliament without delay. During the regularisation period overstayers may apply, in the prescribed manner, for leave to remain in the United Kingdom. The regularisation period begins on the day prescribed for the purposes of this subsection and is not to be less than three months. The regularisation period ends— on the day prescribed for the purposes of this subsection; or if later, on the day before that on which section 65 comes into force. Section 10 and paragraph 12 of Schedule 15 come into force on the day after that on which the regularisation period ends The Secretary of State must publicise the effect of this section in the way appearing to him to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of those affected. “Overstayer” means a person who, having only limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, remains beyond the time limited by the leave. A person is liable to removal from the United Kingdom ... if the person requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom but does not have it. Where a person (“P”) is liable to removal, or has been removed, from the United Kingdom under this section, a member of P’s family who meets the following three conditions is also liable to removal from the United Kingdom, provided that the Secretary of State or an immigration officer has given the family member written notice of the fact that they are liable to removal. The first condition is that the family member is— P's partner, P's child, or a child living in the same household as P in circumstances where P has care of the child, in a case where P is a child, P's parent, or an adult dependent relative of P. The second condition is that— in a case where the family member has leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, that leave was granted on the basis of his or her family life with P; in a case where the family member does not have leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, in the opinion of the Secretary of State or immigration officer the family member— would not, on making an application for such leave, be granted leave in his or her own right, but would be granted leave on the basis of his or her family life with P, if P had leave to enter or remain. The third condition is that the family member is none of the following— a British citizen, an Irish citizen, a person who has leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom which was granted by virtue of residence scheme immigration rules. A notice given to a family member under subsection (2) invalidates any leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom previously given to the family member. A person who is liable to removal from the United Kingdom under this section may be removed only under the authority of the Secretary of State or an immigration officer and in accordance with sections 10A to 10E. For the purposes of removing a person from the United Kingdom under this section, the Secretary of State or an immigration officer may give any such direction for the removal of the person as may be given under paragraphs 8 to 10 of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act. But subsection (7) does not apply where a deportation order is in force against a person (and any directions for such a person's removal must be given under Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act). The following paragraphs of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act apply in relation to directions under subsection (7) (and the persons subject to those directions) as they apply in relation to directions under paragraphs 8 to 10 of Schedule 2 (and the persons subject to those directions)— paragraph 11 (placing of person on board ship or aircraft); paragraph 16(2) to (2B), (3) and (4) (detention of person where reasonable grounds for suspecting removal directions may be given or pending removal in pursuance of directions); paragraph 17 (arrest of person liable to be detained and search of premises for person liable to arrest); paragraph 17A (period for which persons may be detained); paragraph 18 (supplementary provisions on detention); paragraph 18A (search of detained person); paragraph 18B (detention of unaccompanied children); paragraphs 19 and 20 (payment of expenses of custody etc); paragraphs 25A to 25E (searches etc). The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about— the time period during which a family member may be removed under this section; the service of a notice under subsection (2) or sections 10A to 10E. In this section “child” means a person who is under the age of 18. This section applies to a person who is liable to removal under section 10; but see sections 10C to 10E for the circumstances in which such a person may be removed otherwise than in accordance with this section. The person may be removed if— the Secretary of State or an immigration officer has given the person— a notice of intention to remove (see subsection (3)), and a notice of departure details (see subsection (4)), and any notice period has expired. A notice of intention to remove is a written notice which— states that the person is to be removed, sets out the notice period, (see subsection (7)), and states the destination to which the person is to be removed. A notice of departure details under this section is a written notice which— states the date on which the person is to be removed, states the destination to which the person is to be removed and any stops that are expected to be made on the way to that destination, and if subsection (6) applies, sets out the notice period (see subsection (7)). The notice of intention to remove and the notice of departure details may be combined. This subsection applies if the notice of departure details states, under subsection (4)(b)— a destination which is different to the destination stated under subsection (3)(c) in the notice of intention to remove, or any stops that were not stated in the notice of intention to remove, other than a stop in— the United Kingdom, or a country that is for the time being specified in Part 2 of Schedule 3 to the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004. The notice period must be no shorter than the period of five working days beginning with the day after the day on which the person is given the notice. At any time before the person is removed, the Secretary of State or an immigration officer may replace a notice of departure details under this section. This section is subject to section 10B (failed removals). In this section “working day” means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday or a bank holiday under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 in the part of the United Kingdom where the person is when they are given the notice. This section applies where as a result of matters reasonably beyond the control of the Secretary of State, such as— adverse weather conditions, technical faults or other issues causing delays to transport, or disruption by the person to be removed or others, a person is not removed from the United Kingdom on the date stated in a notice of departure details under section 10A (“the original notice”). The person may be removed from the United Kingdom if— the Secretary of State or an immigration officer has given the person a notice of departure details (see subsection (3)), and they are removed before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the date stated in the original notice. states the date on which the person is to be removed, and states the destination to which the person is to be removed and any stops that are expected to be made on the way to that destination. But this section does not apply if the notice under subsection (3) states, under subsection (3)(b)— a destination which is different to the destination stated in the original notice, or any stops that were not stated in the original notice, other than a stop in— This section applies to a person who is liable to removal under section 10 if the person was refused leave to enter upon their arrival in the United Kingdom. the Secretary of State or an immigration officer has given the person a notice of departure details under this section which— the date stated under paragraph (a)(i) is a date before the end of the period of seven days beginning with the day after the day on which the person was refused leave to enter. This section applies to a person who is liable to removal under section 10 and is a PRN recipient. If the person does not make a protection claim or a human rights claim before the PRN cut-off date, the person may be removed from the United Kingdom if— the Secretary of State or an immigration officer has given the person a notice of departure details (see subsection (4)), and they are removed before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after the PRN cut-off date. If the PRN recipient makes a protection claim or a human rights claim, the person may be removed from the United Kingdom if— the Secretary of State or an immigration officer has given the person a notice of departure details (see subsection (4)), their appeal rights are exhausted, and they are removed before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after the date on which their appeal rights are exhausted; and for the purposes of this subsection, whether a PRN recipient’s appeal rights are exhausted is to be determined in accordance with section 21(3) of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (and see, in particular, section 82A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002). But this section does not apply unless the priority removal notice stated— a destination to which the person is to be removed which is the same as the destination stated in the notice of departure details under subsection (4)(b), and stops, other than stops falling within subsection (6), that are expected to be made on the way to that destination which are the same as those stated in the notice of departure details under subsection (4)(b). A stop falls within this subsection if it is a stop in— For the purposes of this section and section 10E— “priority removal notice”, “PRN cut-off date” and “PRN recipient” have the same meaning as in section 20 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022; “protection claim” and “human rights claim” have the same meaning as in Part 5 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. This section applies to a person (whether or not they are a PRN recipient) who is liable to removal under section 10 where— the person has made an application for judicial review or (in Scotland) an application to the supervisory jurisdiction of the Court of Session, relating to their removal, and a court or tribunal has made a decision the effect of which is that the person may be removed from the United Kingdom. they are removed before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after the day on which the court or tribunal made the decision mentioned in subsection (1)(b). But this section does not apply unless the person has received a priority removal notice or a notice of intention to remove under section 10A(3) which stated— a destination to which the person is to be removed which is the same as the destination stated in the notice of departure details under subsection (3)(b), and stops, other than stops falling within subsection (5), that are expected to be made on the way to that destination which are the same as those stated in the notice of departure details under subsection (3)(b). This section applies if a person— is to be removed from the United Kingdom to a country of which he is a national or citizen; but does not have a valid passport or other document establishing his identity and nationality or citizenship and permitting him to travel. If the country to which the person is to be removed indicates that he will not be admitted to it unless identification data relating to him are provided by the Secretary of State, he may provide them with such data. In providing identification data, the Secretary of State must not disclose whether the person concerned has made a claim for asylum. For the purposes of Article 49(1)(d) of the UK GDPR, the provision under this section of identification data is a transfer of personal data which is necessary for important reasons of public interest. “The UK GDPR” has the same meaning as in Parts 5 to 7 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (see section 3(10) and (14) of that Act). “Identification data” means— fingerprints taken under section 141; or data collected in accordance with regulations made under section 144. “Removed” means removed as a result of directions given under section 10 or under Schedule 2 or 3 to the 1971 Act. Directions for, or requiring arrangements to be made for, the removal of a person from the United Kingdom may include or be amended to include provision for the person who is to be removed to be accompanied by an escort consisting of one or more persons specified in the directions. The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision supplementing subsection (1). The regulations may, in particular, include provision— requiring the person to whom the directions are given to provide for the return of the escort to the United Kingdom; requiring him to bear such costs in connection with the escort (including, in particular, remuneration) as may be prescribed; as to the cases in which the Secretary of State is to bear those costs; prescribing the kinds of expenditure which are to count in calculating the costs incurred in connection with escorts. In such circumstances as may be specified, the Secretary of State may require security to be given, with respect to a person applying for entry clearance, before clearance is given. In such circumstances as may be specified— the Secretary of State may accept security with respect to a person who is applying for entry clearance but for whom security is not required; and in determining whether to give clearance, account may be taken of any security so provided. “Security” means— the deposit of a sum of money by the applicant, his agent or any other person, or the provision by the applicant, his agent or any other person of a financial guarantee of a specified kind, with a view to securing that the applicant will, if given leave to enter the United Kingdom for a limited period, leave the United Kingdom at the end of that period. Immigration rules must make provision as to the circumstances in which a security provided under this section— is to be repaid, released or otherwise cancelled; or is to be forfeited or otherwise realised by the Secretary of State. No security provided under this section may be forfeited or otherwise realised unless the person providing it has been given an opportunity, in accordance with immigration rules, to make representations to the Secretary of State. Immigration rules may, in particular— fix the maximum amount that may be required, or accepted, by way of security provided under this section; specify the form and manner in which such a security is to be given or may be accepted; make provision, where such a security has been forfeited or otherwise realised, for the person providing it to be reimbursed in such circumstances as may be specified; make different provision for different cases or descriptions of case. “Specified” means specified by immigration rules. Any security forfeited or otherwise realised by the Secretary of State under this section must be paid into the Consolidated Fund. This section applies if security has been provided under section 16(1) or (2) with respect to a person who, having entered the United Kingdom (with leave to do so), applies— to extend his leave to enter the United Kingdom; or for leave to remain in the United Kingdom for a limited period. The Secretary of State may refuse the application if security of such kind as the Secretary of State considers appropriate is not provided, or continued, with respect to the applicant. Subsection (7) of section 16 applies in relation to this section as it applies in relation to that section. In the 1971 Act, in Schedule 2, after paragraph 27, insert— This paragraph applies to ships or aircraft— which have arrived, or are expected to arrive, in the United Kingdom; or which have left, or are expected to leave, the United Kingdom. If an immigration officer asks the owner or agent (“the carrier”) of a ship or aircraft for passenger information, the carrier must provide that information to the officer. The officer may ask for passenger information relating to— a particular ship or particular aircraft of the carrier; particular ships or aircraft (however described) of the carrier; or all of the carrier’s ships or aircraft. The officer may ask for— all passenger information in relation to the ship or aircraft concerned; or particular passenger information in relation to that ship or aircraft. A request under sub-paragraph (2)— must be in writing; must state the date on which it ceases to have effect; and continues in force until that date, unless withdrawn earlier by written notice by an immigration officer. The date may not be later than six months after the request is made. The fact that a request under sub-paragraph (2) has ceased to have effect as a result of sub-paragraph (5) does not prevent the request from being renewed. The information must be provided— in such form and manner as the Secretary of State may direct; and at such time as may be stated in the request. “Passenger information” means such information relating to the passengers carried, or expected to be carried, by the ship or aircraft as may be specified. “Specified” means specified in an order made by statutory instrument by the Secretary of State. Such an instrument shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. This section applies to information held by— a public authority, or any specified person, for purposes specified in relation to that person. This section also applies to a document or article which— comes into the possession of a public authority or someone acting on behalf of a public authority , or is discovered by a public authority or someone acting on behalf of a public authority . This section does not apply to— information which is held by the Crown Prosecution Service, or a document or article which comes into the possession of, or is discovered by, the Crown Prosecution Service, or someone acting on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service, if section 40 of the UK Borders Act 2007 applies to the information, document or article. The information , document or article may be supplied to the Secretary of State for use for immigration purposes. The Secretary of State may— retain for immigration purposes a document or article supplied to him under subsection (2), and dispose of a document or article supplied to him under subsection (2) in such manner as he thinks appropriate (and the reference to use in subsection (2) includes a reference to disposal). Subsection (2A)(a) does not affect any other power of the Secretary of State to retain a document or article. “Immigration purposes” means any of the following— the administration of immigration control under the Immigration Acts; the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offences under those Acts; the imposition of penalties or charges under Part II; the provision of support for asylum-seekers and their dependants under Part VI; anything else that is done in connection with the exercise of a function under any of the Immigration Acts; such other purposes as may be specified. Public authority” means a person with functions of a public nature but does not include— Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, either House of Parliament or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in Parliament, the Scottish Parliament or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in that Assembly, or the Northern Ireland Assembly or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in that Assembly. “Specified” means specified in an order made by the Secretary of State. This section does not limit the circumstances in which information , documents or articles may be supplied apart from this section. Nothing in this section authorises information, a document or an article to be supplied if to do so would contravene a restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed). This section applies to a nationality document which the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds for believing is lawfully in the possession of a person listed in Schedule A1. The Secretary of State may direct the person to supply the document to the Secretary of State if the Secretary of State suspects that— a person to whom the document relates may be liable to removal from the United Kingdom in accordance with a provision of the Immigration Acts, and the document may facilitate the removal. A person to whom a direction is given must, as soon as is practicable, supply the document to the Secretary of State. If the document was originally created in hard copy form and the person possesses the original document, it must be supplied to the Secretary of State unless it is required by the person for the performance of any of the person's functions. If the original document is required by the person for the performance of any of the person's functions— the person must, as soon as is practicable, supply a copy of the document to the Secretary of State, and if subsequently the person no longer requires the original document, the person must supply it to the Secretary of State as soon as is practicable after it is no longer required. Subsection (5)(b) does not apply if the Secretary of State notifies the person that the original document is no longer required. If subsection (5) applies the person may make a copy of the original document before supplying it to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may retain a nationality document supplied under this section while the Secretary of State suspects that— retention of the document may facilitate the removal. Subsection (8) does not affect any other power of the Secretary of State to retain a document. The Secretary of State may dispose of a nationality document supplied under this section in such manner as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate. Nothing in this section authorises or requires a document to be supplied if to do so would contravene a restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed). The Secretary of State may by regulations amend Schedule A1 so as to add, modify or remove a reference to a person or description of person. Regulations under subsection (12) may not amend Schedule A1 so as to apply this section to— In this section “nationality document” means a document which might— establish a person's identity, nationality or citizenship, or indicate the place from which a person has travelled to the United Kingdom or to which a person is proposing to go. This section applies to information held by the Secretary of State in connection with the exercise of functions under any of the Immigration Acts. The information may be supplied to— a chief officer of police, for use for police purposes; the National Crime Agency, for use in connection with the discharge of any function of that Agency; the Commissioners of Customs and Excise, or a person providing services to them, for use for customs purposes; or any specified person, for use for purposes specified in relation to that person. “Police purposes” means any of the following— the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offences; safeguarding national security; “Customs purposes” means any of the Commissioners’ functions in relation to— the prevention, detection or investigation of conduct in respect of which penalties which are not criminal penalties are provided for by or under any enactment; the assessment or determination of penalties which are not criminal penalties; checking the accuracy of information relating to, or provided for purposes connected with, any matter under the care and management of the Commissioners or any assigned matter (as defined by section 1(1) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979); amending or supplementing any such information (where appropriate); legal or other proceedings relating to anything mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (e); safeguarding national security; and “Chief officer of police” and “specified” have the same meaning as in section 20. This section does not limit the circumstances in which information may be supplied apart from this section. In the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996, after section 8, insert— The Secretary of State must issue a code of practice as to the measures which an employer is to be expected to take, or not to take, with a view to securing that, while avoiding the commission of an offence under section 8, he also avoids unlawful discrimination. “Unlawful discrimination” means— discrimination in contravention of section 4(1) of the Race Relations Act 1976 (“the 1976 Act”); or in relation to Northern Ireland, discrimination in contravention of Article 6(1) of the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 (“the 1997 Order”). Before issuing the code, the Secretary of State must— prepare and publish a draft of the proposed code; and consider any representations about it which are made to him. In preparing the draft, the Secretary of State must consult— the Commission for Racial Equality; the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland; and such organisations and bodies (including organisations or associations of organisations representative of employers or of workers) as he considers appropriate. If the Secretary of State decides to proceed with the code, he must lay a draft of the code before both Houses of Parliament. The draft code may contain modifications to the original proposals made in the light of representations to the Secretary of State. After laying the draft code before Parliament, the Secretary of State may bring the code into operation by an order made by statutory instrument. An order under subsection (7)— shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament; may contain such transitional provisions or savings as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient in connection with the code. A failure on the part of any person to observe a provision of the code does not of itself make him liable to any proceedings. But the code is admissible in evidence— in proceedings under the 1976 Act before an employment tribunal; in proceedings under the 1997 Order before an industrial tribunal. If any provision of the code appears to the tribunal to be relevant to any question arising in such proceedings, that provision is to be taken into account in determining the question. The Secretary of State may from time to time revise the whole or any part of the code and issue the code as revised.

The person concerned must report his suspicion to the Secretary of State without delay and in such form and manner as may be prescribed by regulations. The regulations are to be made— in relation to England and Wales, by the Registrar General for England and Wales with the approval of the Secretary of State; in relation to Scotland, by the Secretary of State after consulting the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for Scotland; in relation to Northern Ireland, by the Secretary of State after consulting the Registrar General in Northern Ireland. A marriage (whether or not it is void) is a “sham marriage” if— either, or both, of the parties to the marriage is not a relevant national, there is no genuine relationship between the parties to the marriage, and either, or both, of the parties to the marriage enter into the marriage for one or more of these purposes— avoiding the effect of one or more provisions of United Kingdom immigration law or the immigration rules; enabling a party to the marriage to obtain a right conferred by that law or those rules to reside in the United Kingdom. In subsection (5)— “relevant national” means— an Irish citizen, or a person who is not an Irish citizen and who— has leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom which was granted by virtue of residence scheme immigration rules, or is an applicant for the purposes of regulation 4 of the Citizens’ Rights (Application Deadline and Temporary Protection) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (applications which have not been finally determined by the deadline) where the relevant period within the meaning of that regulation has not expired; ... a registration authority to whom a notice of proposed civil partnership has been given under section 8 of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, a registration authority that receives information in advance of a person giving such a notice, any person who, under section 8 of the 2004 Act, has attested a declaration accompanying such a notice, a district registrar to whom a notice of proposed civil partnership has been given under section 88 of the 2004 Act, ... a district registrar who receives information in advance of a person giving such a notice, a registrar to whom a civil partnership notice has been given under section 139 of the 2004 Act, or a registrar who receives information in advance of a person giving such a notice, has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the civil partnership will be a sham civil partnership. two people register as civil partners of each other under Part 2, 3 or 4 of the 2004 Act in the presence of the registrar, and before, during or immediately after they do so, the registrar has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the civil partnership will be, or is, a sham civil partnership. A civil partnership (whether or not it is void) is a “sham civil partnership” if— either, or both, of the parties to the civil partnership is not a relevant national, there is no genuine relationship between the parties to the civil partnership, and either, or both, of the parties to the civil partnership enter into the civil partnership for one or more of these purposes— enabling a party to the civil partnership to obtain a right conferred by that law or those rules to reside in the United Kingdom. an Irish citizen; or is an applicant for the purposes of regulation 4 of the Citizens’ Rights (Application Deadline and Temporary Protection) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (applications which have not been finally determined by the deadline) where the relevant period within the meaning of that regulation has not expired. “The registrar” means— in relation to England and Wales, the civil partnership registrar acting under Part 2 of the 2004 Act; in relation to Scotland, the authorised registrar acting under Part 3 of the 2004 Act; in relation to Northern Ireland, the registrar acting under Part 4 of the 2004 Act. The person responsible for the management of a control port (“the manager”) must provide the Secretary of State free of charge with such facilities at the port as the Secretary of State may direct as being reasonably necessary for, or in connection with, the operation of immigration control there. Before giving such a direction, the Secretary of State must consult such persons likely to be affected by it as he considers appropriate. If the Secretary of State gives such a direction, he must send a copy of it to the person appearing to him to be the manager. If the manager persistently fails to comply with the direction (or part of it), the Secretary of State may— in the case of a control port which is not a port of entry, revoke any approval in relation to the port given under paragraph 26(1) of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act; in the case of a control port which is a port of entry, by order revoke its designation as a port of entry. A direction under this section is enforceable, on the application of the Secretary of State— by injunction granted in England and Wales by the county court or in Northern Ireland by a county court; or in Scotland, by an order under section 45 of the Court of Session Act 1988. “Control port” means a port in which a control area is designated under paragraph 26(3) of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act. “Facilities” means accommodation, facilities, equipment and services of a class or description specified in an order made by the Secretary of State.

In the 1971 Act, after section 24, insert— A person who is not a British citizen is guilty of an offence if, by means which include deception by him— he obtains or seeks to obtain leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom; or he secures or seeks to secure the avoidance, postponement or revocation of enforcement action against him. “Enforcement action”, in relation to a person, means— the giving of directions for his removal from the United Kingdom (“directions”) under Schedule 2 to this Act or section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999; the making of a deportation order against him under section 5 of this Act; or his removal from the United Kingdom in consequence of directions or a deportation order. A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable— on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or to both; or on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine, or to both. The extended time limit for prosecutions which is provided for by section 28 applies to an offence under this section. Section 25 of the 1971 Act (assisting illegal entry) is amended as follows. In subsection (1), for “seven” substitute “ ten ”. For subsection (1A) substitute— Nothing in subsection (1)(b) applies to anything done in relation to a person who— has been detained under paragraph 16 of Schedule 2 to this Act; or has been granted temporary admission under paragraph 21 of that Schedule. Nothing in subsection (1)(b) applies to anything done by a person otherwise than for gain. Nothing in subsection (1)(b) applies to anything done to assist an asylum claimant by a person in the course of his employment by a bona fide organisation, if the purposes of that organisation include assistance to persons in the position of the asylum claimant. “Asylum claimant” means a person who intends to make a claim that it would be contrary to the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Refugee Convention or the Human Rights Convention for him to be removed from, or required to leave, the United Kingdom. “Refugee Convention” and “Human Rights Convention” have the meaning given in the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. In subsection (5), for “Subsection (1)(a)” substitute “ Paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1) ”. Section 26 of the 1971 Act (general offences in connection with administration of the Act) is amended as follows. In subsection (1)(c), for “this Act” substitute “ a relevant enactment ”. After subsection (2), insert— “Relevant enactment” means— this Act; the Immigration Act 1988; the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 (apart from section 4 or 5); or the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (apart from Part VI). It is a defence for a refugee charged with an offence to which this section applies to show that, having come to the United Kingdom directly from a country where his life or freedom was threatened (within the meaning of the Refugee Convention), he— presented himself to the authorities in the United Kingdom without delay; showed good cause for his illegal entry or presence; and made a claim for asylum as soon as was reasonably practicable after his arrival in the United Kingdom.

If, in coming from the country where his life or freedom was threatened, the refugee stopped in another country outside the United Kingdom, subsection (1) applies only if he shows that he could not reasonably be expected to have sought protection under the Refugee Convention in that other country. In England and Wales and Northern Ireland the offences to which this section applies are any offence, and any attempt to commit an offence, under— Part I of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 (forgery and connected offences); section 4 or 6 of the Identity Documents Act 2010; section 24A of the 1971 Act (deception); or section 26(1)(d) of the 1971 Act (falsification of documents). In Scotland, the offences to which this section applies are those— of fraud, of uttering a forged document, under section 4 or 6 of the Identity Documents Act 2010, under section 24A of the 1971 Act (deception), or under section 26(1)(d) of the 1971 Act (falsification of documents), and any attempt to commit any of those offences. But this section does not apply to an offence committed by a refugee in the course of an attempt to leave the United Kingdom. A refugee who has made a claim for asylum is not entitled to the defence provided by subsection (1) in relation to any offence committed by him after making that claim. “Refugee” has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of the Refugee Convention. If the Secretary of State has refused to grant a claim for asylum made by a person who claims that he has a defence under subsection (1), that person is to be taken not to be a refugee unless he shows that he is. A person who— was convicted in England and Wales or Northern Ireland of an offence to which this section applies before the commencement of this section, but at no time during the proceedings for that offence argued that he had a defence based on Article 31(1), may apply to the Criminal Cases Review Commission with a view to his case being referred to the Court of Appeal by the Commission on the ground that he would have had a defence under this section had it been in force at the material time. was convicted in Scotland of an offence to which this section applies before the commencement of this section, but may apply to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission with a view to his case being referred to the High Court of Justiciary by the Commission on the ground that he would have had a defence under this section had it been in force at the material time. The Secretary of State may by order amend— subsection (3), or subsection (4), by adding offences to those for the time being listed there. Before making an order under subsection (10)(b), the Secretary of State must consult the Scottish Ministers. The Secretary of State may impose a penalty on a person responsible for a goods vehicle which has arrived at a place mentioned in subsection (2) if— on its arrival at that place, the vehicle is not adequately secured against unauthorised access (see subsection (4)(a)), and the person has not taken the actions specified in regulations under subsection (4)(b) as actions to be taken by that person in relation to the securing of the vehicle against unauthorised access before or during its journey to that place. Those places are— a place where immigration control is operated, and in a case where the vehicle previously arrived at a place outside the United Kingdom where immigration control is operated and then journeyed to a place in the United Kingdom, that place in the United Kingdom. A penalty may be imposed under subsection (1) regardless of whether any person has obtained unauthorised access to the vehicle during its journey to the place mentioned in subsection (2). The Secretary of State must specify in regulations for the purposes of subsection (1)— what is meant by a goods vehicle being adequately secured against unauthorised access, and the actions to be taken by each person responsible for a goods vehicle in relation to the securing of the vehicle against unauthorised access. The actions that may be specified in regulations under subsection (4)(b) include, in particular— actions in relation to checking a person has not gained unauthorised access to the vehicle, actions in relation to the reporting of any unauthorised access to the vehicle, and actions in relation to the keeping of records to establish that other actions specified in the regulations have been taken. Before making regulations under subsection (4), the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. In imposing a penalty under subsection (1), the Secretary of State— must specify an amount which does not exceed the maximum prescribed for the purpose of this paragraph, may impose separate penalties on more than one of the persons responsible for a goods vehicle, and may not impose penalties which amount in aggregate to more than the maximum prescribed for the purpose of this paragraph. A penalty imposed under subsection (1) must be paid to the Secretary of State before the end of the prescribed period. A person is not liable to the imposition of a penalty under subsection (1) if that person’s failure to take the actions specified in regulations under subsection (4)(b) was as a result of duress. If a penalty is imposed under subsection (1) in relation to the arrival of a goods vehicle in a place outside the United Kingdom where immigration control is operated, a penalty may not be imposed in relation to the vehicle’s arrival in the United Kingdom as part of the same journey. A penalty may not be imposed on a person under subsection (1) if a penalty is imposed on that person under section 32(2) in respect of the same circumstances. Where a penalty is imposed under subsection (1) on a person who is the driver of a goods vehicle pursuant to a contract (whether or not a contract of employment) with a person (“P”) who is the vehicle’s owner or hirer— the driver and P are jointly and severally liable for the penalty imposed on the driver (whether or not a penalty is also imposed on P), and a provision of this Part about notification, objection or appeal has effect as if the penalty imposed on the driver were also imposed on P (whether or not a penalty is also imposed on P in P’s capacity as the owner or hirer of the vehicle). In the case of a detached trailer, subsection (12) has effect as if a reference to the driver were a reference to the operator. For the purposes of this section the persons responsible for a goods vehicle are— if the goods vehicle is a detached trailer, the owner, hirer and operator of the trailer, and if it is not, the owner, hirer and driver of the vehicle. Where by virtue of subsection (14) a person is responsible for a goods vehicle in more than one capacity, a separate penalty may be imposed on the person under subsection (1) in respect of each capacity. In this section “immigration control” means United Kingdom immigration control and includes any United Kingdom immigration control operated in a prescribed control zone outside the United Kingdom. A person is a clandestine entrant if— he arrives in the United Kingdom concealed in a vehicle, ship or aircraft, he arrives in the United Kingdom concealed in a rail freight wagon, he passes, or attempts to pass, through immigration control concealed in a vehicle, or he arrives in the United Kingdom on a ship or aircraft, having embarked— concealed in a vehicle; and at a time when the ship or aircraft was outside the United Kingdom, and claims, or indicates that he intends to seek, asylum in the United Kingdom or evades, or attempts to evade, immigration control. The Secretary of State may require a person who is responsible for a clandestine entrant to pay— a penalty in respect of the clandestine entrant; a penalty in respect of any person who was concealed with the clandestine entrant in the same transporter. In imposing a penalty under subsection (2) the Secretary of State— may, in respect of a clandestine entrant or a concealed person, impose separate penalties on more than one of the persons responsible for the clandestine entrant, and may not impose penalties in respect of a clandestine entrant or a concealed person which amount in aggregate to more than the maximum prescribed for the purpose of this paragraph. The Secretary of State may reduce the amount of a penalty under this section if the responsible person can show that they took the actions specified in regulations under subsection (2C) in relation to the securing of the transporter against unauthorised access. The Secretary of State must specify in regulations the actions that a responsible person must have taken in order to be eligible for a reduction in the amount of a penalty. The actions that may be specified in regulations under subsection (2C) include, in particular— actions in relation to checking a person has not gained unauthorised access to the transporter, actions in relation to the reporting of any unauthorised access to the transporter, and Before making regulations under subsection (2C), the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. A penalty imposed under this section must be paid to the Secretary of State before the end of the prescribed period. Where a penalty is imposed under subsection (2) on the driver of a vehicle who is an employee of the vehicle’s owner or hirer— the employee and the employer shall be jointly and severally liable for the penalty imposed on the driver (irrespective of whether a penalty is also imposed on the employer), and a provision of this Part about notification, objection or appeal shall have effect as if the penalty imposed on the driver were also imposed on the employer (irrespective of whether a penalty is also imposed on the employer in his capacity as the owner or hirer of the vehicle). Where a penalty is imposed under subsection (2) on a person who is the driver of a vehicle pursuant to a contract (whether or not a contract of employment) with a person (“P”) who is the vehicle’s owner or hirer— In the case of a detached trailer, subsection (4) shall have effect as if a reference to the driver were a reference to the operator. In the case of a clandestine entrant to whom subsection (1)(a) applies, each of the following is a responsible person— if the transporter is a ship or aircraft, the owner and captain; if it is a vehicle (but not a detached trailer), the owner, hirer and driver of the vehicle; if it is a detached trailer, the owner, hirer and operator of the trailer. In the case of a clandestine entrant to whom subsection (1)(aa) applies, the responsible person is— where the entrant arrived concealed in a freight train, the train operator who, at the train’s last scheduled stop before arrival in the United Kingdom, was responsible for certifying it as fit to travel to the United Kingdom, or where the entrant arrived concealed in a freight shuttle wagon, the operator of the shuttle-train of which the wagon formed part. In the case of a clandestine entrant to whom subsection (1)(b) or (c) applies, each of the following is a responsible person— if the transporter is a detached trailer, the owner, hirer and operator of the trailer; if it is not, the owner, hirer and driver of the vehicle. Where a person falls within the definition of responsible person in more than one capacity, a separate penalty may be imposed on him under subsection (2) in respect of each capacity. A penalty may not be imposed on a person under subsection (2) if a penalty is imposed on that person under section 31A(1) in respect of the same circumstances. Subject to any defence provided by section 34, it is immaterial whether a responsible person knew or suspected— that the clandestine entrant was concealed in the transporter; or that there were one or more other persons concealed with the clandestine entrant in the same transporter. Subsection (9) applies if a transporter (“the carried transporter”) is itself being carried in or on another transporter. If a person is concealed in the carried transporter, the question whether any other person is concealed with that person in the same transporter is to be determined by reference to the carried transporter and not by reference to the transporter in or on which it is carried. “Immigration control” means United Kingdom immigration control and includes any United Kingdom immigration control operated in a prescribed control zone outside the United Kingdom. The Secretary of State shall issue a code of practice specifying matters to be considered in determining the amount of a penalty under section 32. The Secretary of State must issue a code of practice specifying matters to be considered in determining the amount of a penalty under section 31A. The Secretary of State must have regard to the code (in addition to any other matters the Secretary of State thinks relevant)— when imposing a penalty under section 31A, and when considering a notice of objection under section 35(4) in relation to a penalty under section 31A. The Secretary of State shall have regard to the code (in addition to any other matters he thinks relevant)— when imposing a penalty under section 32, and when considering a notice of objection under section 35(4) in relation to a penalty under section 32 . Before issuing the code a code under this section the Secretary of State shall lay a draft before Parliament. After laying the draft code a draft code before Parliament the Secretary of State may bring the code into operation by order. The Secretary of State may from time to time revise the whole or any part of the code a code under this section and issue the code as revised. Subsections (3) and (4) also apply to a revision or proposed revision of the code a code. The Secretary of State must issue a code of practice to be followed by any person operating a system for preventing the carriage of clandestine entrants. consult such persons as he considers appropriate; and lay a draft before both Houses of Parliament. The requirement of subsection (2)(a) may be satisfied by consultation before the passing of this Act. After laying the draft code before Parliament, the Secretary of State may bring the code into operation by an order. Subsections (2) and (4) also apply to any revision, or proposed revision, of the code. This section applies if it is alleged that a person (“the carrier”) is liable to a penalty under section 32. A person (“the carrier”) shall not be liable to the imposition of a penalty under section 32(2) if he has a defence under this section. It is a defence for the carrier to show that he, or an employee of his who was directly responsible for allowing the clandestine entrant to be concealed, was acting under duress. It is also a defence for the carrier to show that— he did not know, and had no reasonable grounds for suspecting, that a clandestine entrant was, or might be, concealed in the transporter; an effective system for preventing the carriage of clandestine entrants was in operation in relation to the transporter; and that on the occasion in question the person or persons responsible for operating that system did so properly. he knew or suspected that a clandestine entrant was or might be concealed in a rail freight wagon, having boarded after the wagon began its journey to the United Kingdom; he could not stop the train or shuttle-train of which the wagon formed part without endangering safety; and an effective system for preventing the carriage of clandestine entrants was in operation in relation to the train or shuttle-train; and the carrier had taken the actions specified in regulations under subsection (3B) in relation to the securing of the wagon against unauthorised access. on the occasion in question the person or persons responsible for operating the system did so properly. The Secretary of State must specify in regulations the actions to be taken for the purposes of subsection (3A)(c) in relation to the securing of a rail freight wagon against unauthorised access. The actions that may be specified in regulations under subsection (3B) include, in particular— actions in relation to checking a person has not gained unauthorised access to the wagon, actions in relation to the reporting of any unauthorised access to the wagon, and Before making regulations under subsection (3B), the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. In determining, for the purposes of this section, whether a particular system is effective, regard is to be had to the code of practice issued by the Secretary of State under section 33. If there are two or more persons responsible for a clandestine entrant, the fact that one or more of them has a defence under subsection (3) does not affect the liability of the others. But if a person responsible for a clandestine entrant has a defence under subsection (2), the liability of any other person responsible for that entrant is discharged. Where a person has a defence under subsection (2) in respect of a clandestine entrant, every other responsible person in respect of the clandestine entrant is also entitled to the benefit of the defence. If the Secretary of State decides that a person (“P”) is liable to one or more penalties under section 31A or 32, he must notify P of his decision. A notice under subsection (1) (a “penalty notice”) must— state the Secretary of State’s reasons for deciding that P is liable to the penalty (or penalties); state the amount of the penalty (or penalties) to which P is liable; specify the date before which, and the manner in which, the penalty (or penalties) must be paid; and include an explanation of the steps— that P must may take if he objects to the penalty; that the Secretary of State may take under this Part to recover any unpaid penalty and be issued before the end of such period as may be prescribed. Subsection (4) applies if more than one person is responsible for a clandestine entrant. If a penalty notice is served on one of the responsible persons, the Secretary of State is to be taken to have served the required penalty notice on each of them. The Secretary of State must nevertheless take reasonable steps, while the penalty remains unpaid, to secure that the penalty notice is actually served on each of those responsible persons. If a person on whom a penalty notice is served, or who is treated as having had a penalty notice served on him, alleges that he is not liable for one or more, or all, of the penalties specified in the penalty notice, he may give written notice of his allegation to the Secretary of State. Notice under subsection (6) (“a notice of objection”) must— give reasons for the allegation; and be given before the end of such period as may be prescribed. If a notice of objection is given before the end of the prescribed period, the Secretary of State must consider it and determine whether or not any penalty to which it relates is payable. Subsection (4) applies where a person to whom a penalty notice is issued objects on the ground that— he is not liable to the imposition of a penalty, or the amount of the penalty is too high. The person may give a notice of objection to the Secretary of State. A notice of objection must— be in writing, give the objector’s reasons, and Where the Secretary of State receives a notice of objection to a penalty in accordance with this section he shall consider it and— cancel the penalty, reduce the penalty, increase the penalty, or determine to take no action under paragraphs (a) to (c). Where the Secretary of State considers a notice of objection under subsection (6) he shall— inform the objector of his decision before the end of such period as may be prescribed or such longer period as he may agree with the objector, if he increases the penalty, issue a new penalty notice under subsection (1), and if he reduces the penalty, notify the objector of the reduced amount. The Secretary of State may by regulations provide, in relation to detached trailers, for a penalty notice which is served issued in such manner as may be prescribed to have effect as a penalty notice properly served on issued to the responsible person or persons concerned under this section. Any sum payable to the Secretary of State as a penalty under section 31A or 32 may be recovered by the Secretary of State as a debt due to him. In proceedings for enforcement of a penalty under subsection (10) no question may be raised as to— liability to the imposition of the penalty, or its amount. A document which is to be issued to or served on a person outside the United Kingdom for the purpose of subsection (1) or (7) or in the course of proceedings under subsection (10) may be issued or served— in person, by post, by facsimile transmission, or by electronic mail, or in another prescribed manner. The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that a document issued or served in a manner listed in subsection (12) in accordance with the regulations is to be taken to have been received at a time specified by or determined in accordance with the regulations. A person may appeal to the court against a penalty imposed on him under section 31A or 32 on the ground that— On an appeal under this section the court may— allow the appeal and cancel the penalty, allow the appeal and reduce the penalty, or dismiss the appeal. An appeal under this section shall be a re-hearing of the Secretary of State’s decision to impose a penalty and shall be determined having regard to— any code of practice under section 32A which has effect at the time of the appeal, and the code of practice under section 33 which had effect at the time of the events to which the penalty relates, and any other matters which the court thinks relevant (which may include matters of which the Secretary of State was unaware). Subsection (3) has effect despite any provision of Civil Procedure Rules. An appeal may be brought by a person under this section against a penalty whether or not— he has given notice of objection under section 35(4); the penalty has been increased or reduced under section 35(6). If a penalty notice has been given issued under section 35, a senior officer may detain any relevant— vehicle, small ship, or small aircraft, or rail freight wagon, until all penalties to which the notice relates, and any expenses reasonably incurred by the Secretary of State in connection with the detention, have been paid. That power— may be exercised only if, in the opinion of the senior officer concerned, there is a significant risk that the penalty (or one or more of the penalties) will not be paid before the end of the prescribed period if the transporter is not detained; and may not be exercised if alternative security which the Secretary of State considers is satisfactory, has been given. A vehicle may be detained under subsection (1) only if— the driver of the vehicle is an employee of its owner or hirer drives the vehicle pursuant to a contract (whether or not a contract of employment) with the owner or hirer of the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle is its owner or hirer, or a penalty notice is issued to the owner or hirer of the vehicle. In the case of a detached trailer, subsection (2A) has effect as if— a reference to the driver were a reference to the operator, and the reference to driving the vehicle were a reference to operating it. A senior officer may detain a relevant vehicle, small ship, small aircraft or rail freight wagon pending— a decision whether to issue a penalty notice, the issue of a penalty notice, or a decision whether to detain under subsection (1). That power may not be exercised in any case— for longer than is necessary in the circumstances of the case, or after the expiry of the period of 24 hours beginning with the conclusion of the first search of the vehicle, ship, aircraft or wagon by an immigration officer after it arrived in the United Kingdom. If a transporter is detained under this section, the owner, consignor or any other person who has an interest in any freight or other thing carried in or on the transporter may remove it, or arrange for it to be removed, at such time and in such way as is reasonable. The detention of a transporter under this section is lawful even though it is subsequently established that the penalty notice on which the detention was based was ill-founded in respect of all or any of the penalties to which it related. But subsection (4) does not apply if the Secretary of State was acting unreasonably in issuing the penalty notice. A document which is to be issued to or served on a person outside the United Kingdom for the purposes of this section may be issued or served— by facsimile transmission, The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that a document issued or served in a manner listed in subsection (6) in accordance with the regulations is to be taken to have been received at a time specified by or determined in accordance with the regulations. This section applies where a person to whom a penalty notice has been issued under section 35 fails to pay the penalty before the date specified in accordance with section 35(2)(c). The Secretary of State may make arrangements for the detention of any vehicle, small ship, small aircraft or rail freight wagon which the person to whom the penalty notice was issued uses in the course of a business. A vehicle, ship, aircraft or wagon may be detained under subsection (2) whether or not the person to whom the penalty notice was issued owns it. But a vehicle may be detained under subsection (2) only if the person to whom the penalty notice was issued— is the owner or hirer of the vehicle, or was an employee of drove the vehicle pursuant to a contract (whether or not a contract of employment) with the owner or hirer of the vehicle when the penalty notice was issued. In the case of a detached trailer, subsection (4)(b) has effect as if the reference to driving the vehicle were a reference to operating it. The power under subsection (2) may not be exercised while an appeal against the penalty under section 35A is pending or could be brought (ignoring the possibility of an appeal out of time with permission). The Secretary of State shall arrange for the release of a vehicle, ship, aircraft or wagon detained under this section if the person to whom the penalty notice was issued pays— the penalty, and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the detention. But subsection (8) does not apply if the Secretary of State was acting unreasonably in issuing the penalty notice. The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that a document issued or served in a manner listed in subsection (10) in accordance with the regulations is to be taken to have been received at a time specified by or determined in accordance with the regulations. This section applies if a transporter is detained under section 36 section 36(1). The person to whom the penalty notice was addressed, or the owner or any other person claiming an interest in the transporter, whose interests may be affected by detention of the transporter, may apply to the court for the transporter to be released. The court may release the transporter if it considers that— satisfactory security has been tendered in place of the transporter for the payment of the penalty alleged to be due and connected expenses; there is no significant risk that the penalty (or one or more of the penalties) and any connected expenses will not be paid; or there is a significant doubt as to whether the penalty is payable and the applicant has a compelling need to have the transporter released. The court may also release the transporter on the application of the owner of the transporter under subsection (2) if— a penalty notice was not issued to the owner or an employee of his, and the court considers it right to release the transporter. In determining whether to release a transporter under subsection (3A) the court shall consider— the extent of any hardship caused by detention, the extent (if any) to which the owner is responsible for the matters in respect of which the penalty notice was issued, and any other matter which appears to the court to be relevant (whether specific to the circumstances of the case or of a general nature).

This section applies to a transporter detained under section 36A as it applies to a transporter detained under section 36(1); but for that purpose— the court may release the transporter only if the court considers that the detention was unlawful or under subsection (3A)(and subsection (3) shall not apply), and the reference in subsection (4) to the period of 84 days shall be taken as a reference to a period prescribed for the purpose of this paragraph.

A person (other than the arrested person) who claims to be the owner of a ship, aircraft or vehicle which has been detained under this section may apply to the court for its release. The court to which an application is made under subsection (3) may, on such security or surety being tendered as it considers satisfactory, release the ship, aircraft or vehicle on condition that it is made available to the court if— the arrested person is convicted; and an order for its forfeiture is made under section 25(6).

The charge shall be payable to the Secretary of State on demand. No charge shall be payable on the basis that Case 1 applies in respect of any individual if the owner provides evidence that the individual produced an immigration document of the kind mentioned in subsection (1A) to the owner or his employee or agent when embarking on the ship or aircraft for the voyage or flight to the United Kingdom. No charge shall be payable on the basis that Case 2 applies in respect of any individual if the owner provides evidence that— the individual produced an entry clearance in documentary form of the required kind to the owner or an employee or agent of the owner when embarking on the ship or aircraft for the voyage or flight to the United Kingdom, the owner or an employee or agent of the owner reasonably believed, on the basis of information provided by the Secretary of State in respect of the individual, that the individual did not require an entry clearance of the kind in question, the owner or an employee or agent of the owner reasonably believed, on the basis of information provided by the Secretary of State, that an entry clearance in electronic form of the required kind had been granted, or the owner or an employee or agent of the owner was unable to establish whether an entry clearance in electronic form of the required kind had been granted in respect of the individual and had a reasonable excuse for being unable to do so.

For the purpose of subsection (4) or (4A)(a) an owner shall be entitled to regard a document as— being what it purports to be unless its falsity is reasonably apparent, and relating to the individual producing it unless it is reasonably apparent that it does not relate to him. For the purposes of this section an individual requires an entry clearance if— under the immigration rules he requires an entry clearance for entry into the United Kingdom, or as a result of section 41 he requires a visa for passing through the United Kingdom. The Secretary of State may by order amend this section for the purpose of applying it in relation to an individual who— requires leave to enter the United Kingdom, and arrives in the United Kingdom by train.

If a designated professional body asks the Secretary of State to amend subsection (1) so as to remove its name, the Secretary of State may by order do so. If the Secretary of State is proposing to act under subsection (2) he must, before doing so— consult the Commissioner; consult the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, if the proposed order would affect a designated professional body in Scotland; consult the Legal Services Oversight Commissioner for Northern Ireland, if the proposed order would affect a designated professional body in Northern Ireland; notify the body concerned of his proposal and give it a reasonable period within which to make representations; and consider any representations so made. An order under subsection (2) requires the approval of— the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland, if it affects a designated professional body in ... Northern Ireland; the Scottish Ministers, if it affects a designated professional body in Scotland. Before deciding whether or not to give its approval under subsection (5)(a), the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland must consult the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland. Before deciding whether or not to give their approval under subsection (5)(b), the Scottish Ministers must consult the Lord President of the Court of Session.

If a designated qualifying regulator asks the Secretary of State to amend subsection (2) so as to remove its name, the Secretary of State may by order do so. Where, at a time when a body is listed in subsection (2), the body ceases to be a qualifying regulator by virtue of paragraph 8(1)(a) of Schedule 18 to the Legal Services Act 2007 (loss of approved regulator status), the Secretary of State must, by order, remove it from the list. If the Secretary of State considers that a body which— is a qualifying regulator, is not a designated qualifying regulator, and is capable of providing effective regulation of relevant authorised persons in their provision of immigration advice or immigration services, ought to be designated, the Secretary of State may, by order, amend the list in subsection (2) to include the name of that body. If the Secretary of State is proposing to act under subsection (3) or (6), the Secretary of State must, before doing so, consult the Commissioner. If the Secretary of State is proposing to act under subsection (3), the Secretary of State must, before doing so, also — notify the body concerned of the proposal and give it a reasonable period within which to make representations, and consider any representations duly made. An order under subsection (3) or (6) requires the approval of the Lord Chancellor. If the Legal Services Board considers that a designated qualifying regulator is failing to provide effective regulation of relevant authorised persons in their provision of immigration advice or immigration services, the Legal Services Board must make a report to this effect to— the Secretary of State, and the Lord Chancellor. “qualifying regulator” means a body which is a qualifying regulator for the purposes of this Part of this Act by virtue of Part 1 of Schedule 18 to the Legal Services Act 2007 (approved regulators approved by the Legal Services Board in relation to immigration matters); “relevant authorised persons”, in relation to a designated qualifying regulator, means persons who are authorised by the designated qualifying regulator to provide immigration advice or immigration services. Any person aggrieved by a relevant decision of the Commissioner may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision. “Relevant decision” means a decision— to refuse an application for registration made under paragraph 1 of Schedule 6; under paragraph 2(2) of that Schedule to register with limited effect; to refuse an application for continued registration made under paragraph 3 of that Schedule; to vary a registration on an application under paragraph 3 of that Schedule; to vary a registration under paragraph 3A of that Schedule; or to cancel a registration under paragraph 4A(e) of that Schedule. A relevant decision of the Commissioner is not to have effect while the period within which an appeal may be brought against the decision is running. In the case of an appeal under this section, Tribunal Procedure Rules may include provision permitting the First-tier Tribunal to direct that while the appeal is being dealt with— no effect is to be given to the decision appealed against; or only such limited effect is to be given to it as may be specified in the direction. If provision is made in Tribunal Procedure Rules by virtue of subsection (3B), the rules must also include provision requiring the First-tier Tribunal to consider applications by the Commissioner for the cancellation or variation of directions given by virtue of that subsection. For further functions of the First-tier Tribunal under this Part, see paragraph 9(1)(e) of Schedule 5 (disciplinary charges laid by the Commissioner) and paragraph 4B of Schedule 6 (suspension of registration by First-tier Tribunal) . This section applies if the First-tier Tribunal allows an appeal under section 87. If the First-tier Tribunal considers it appropriate, it may direct the Commissioner— to register the applicant or to continue the applicant’s registration; to make or vary the applicant’s registration so as to have limited effect in any of the ways mentioned in paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 6; to quash a decision recorded under paragraph 9(1)(a) of Schedule 5 and the record of that decision. This section applies if the First-tier Tribunal upholds a disciplinary charge laid by the Commissioner under paragraph 9(1)(e) of Schedule 5 against a person (“the person charged”). Subsections (2A) and (2B) apply if the person charged was, at the time to which the charge relates, a registered person or a person acting on behalf of a registered person. If the registered person mentioned in subsection (2) is still registered, the First-tier Tribunal may direct the Commissioner— to record the charge and the First-tier Tribunal's decision on it for consideration in connection with that person's next application for continued registration; to cancel that person's registration. If the registered person mentioned in subsection (2) is no longer registered, the First-tier Tribunal may direct the Commissioner to record the charge and the First-tier Tribunal's decision on it for consideration in connection with any application by that person for registration. If the person charged is found to have charged unreasonable fees for immigration advice or immigration services, the First-tier Tribunal may direct him to repay to the clients concerned such portion of those fees as it may determine. The First-tier Tribunal may direct the person charged to pay a penalty to the Commissioner of such sum as it considers appropriate. A direction given by the First-tier Tribunal under subsection (5) (or under subsection (6)) may be enforced by the clients concerned (or by the Commissioner)— as if it were an order of a county court in Northern Ireland or the county court in England and Wales ; or in Scotland, as if it were an extract registered decree arbitral bearing a warrant for execution issued by the sheriff court of any sheriffdom in Scotland. The First-tier Tribunal may direct that the person charged or any person acting on his behalf or under his supervision is to be— subject to such restrictions on the provision of immigration advice or immigration services as the First-tier Tribunal considers appropriate; suspended from providing immigration advice or immigration services for such period as the First-tier Tribunal may determine; or prohibited from providing immigration advice or immigration services indefinitely. The Commissioner must keep a record of the persons against whom there is in force a direction given by the First-tier Tribunal under subsection (8). A disciplinary body may make an order directing that a person subject to its jurisdiction is to be— subject to such restrictions on the provision of immigration advice or immigration services as the body considers appropriate; suspended from providing immigration advice or immigration services for such period as the body may determine; or “Disciplinary body” means any body— appearing to the Secretary of State to be established for the purpose of hearing disciplinary charges against— persons regulated by designated qualifying regulators; and specified in an order made by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State must consult the designated professional body or designated qualifying regulator concerned before making an order under subsection (2)(b). For the purposes of this section, a person is subject to the jurisdiction of a disciplinary body if he is an authorised person or is acting on behalf of an authorised person. “Authorised person” means — a person who is authorised by the designated professional body concerned to practise as a member of the profession whose members are regulated by that body, or a person who is authorised by the designated qualifying regulator concerned to provide immigration advice or immigration services. A person who provides immigration advice or immigration services in contravention of section 84 or of a restraining order is guilty of an offence and liable— “Restraining order” means— a direction given by the First-tier Tribunal under section 89(8) or paragraph 9(3) of Schedule 5; or an order made by a disciplinary body under section 90(1). If an offence under this section committed by a body corporate is proved— to have been committed with the consent or connivance of an officer, or to be attributable to neglect on his part, the officer as well as the body corporate is guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly. “Officer”, in relation to a body corporate, means a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body, or a person purporting to act in such a capacity. If the affairs of a body corporate are managed by its members, subsection (3) applies in relation to the acts and defaults of a member in connection with his functions of management as if he were a director of the body corporate. If an offence under this section committed by a partnership in Scotland is proved— to have been committed with the consent or connivance of a partner, or the partner as well as the partnership is guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly. “Partner” includes a person purporting to act as a partner. If it appears to the Commissioner that a person— is providing immigration advice or immigration services in contravention of section 84 or of a restraining order, and is likely to continue to do so unless restrained, the Commissioner may apply to a county court in Northern Ireland or the county court in England and Wales for an injunction, or to the sheriff for an interdict, restraining him from doing so. If the court is satisfied that the application is well-founded, it may grant the injunction or interdict in the terms applied for or in more limited terms. “Restraining order” has the meaning given by section 91. On an application made by the Commissioner a justice of the peace may issue a warrant authorising the Commissioner to enter and search premises. A justice of the peace may issue a warrant in respect of premises only if satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that— an offence under section 91 has been committed, there is material on the premises which is likely to be of substantial value (whether by itself or together with other material) to the investigation of the offence, and any of the conditions specified in subsection (3) is satisfied. Those conditions are— that it is not practicable to communicate with a person entitled to grant entry to the premises, that it is not practicable to communicate with a person entitled to grant access to the evidence, that entry to the premises will be prevented unless a warrant is produced, and that the purpose of a search may be frustrated or seriously prejudiced unless the Commissioner can secure immediate entry on arrival at the premises. The Commissioner may seize and retain anything for which a search is authorised under this section. A person commits an offence if without reasonable excuse he obstructs the Commissioner in the exercise of a power by virtue of this section. A person guilty of an offence under subsection (5) shall be liable on summary conviction to— imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or both. a reference to the Commissioner includes a reference to a member of his staff authorised in writing by him, a reference to premises includes a reference to premises used wholly or partly as a dwelling, and a reference to material— includes material subject to legal privilege within the meaning of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c. 60), does not include excluded material or special procedure material within the meaning of that Act, and includes material whether or not it would be admissible in evidence at a trial. In the application of this section to Scotland— a reference to a justice of the peace shall be taken as a reference to the sheriff, for sub-paragraph (i) of subsection (7)(c) there is substituted— includes material comprising items subject to legal privilege (as defined by section 412 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29)), sub-paragraph (ii) of subsection (7)(c) shall be ignored. In the application of this section to Northern Ireland the reference to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 shall be taken as a reference to the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (S.I. 1989/1341 (N.I. 12)). A person commits an offence if— he offers to provide immigration advice or immigration services, and provision by him of the advice or services would constitute an offence under section 91. For the purpose of subsection (1) a person offers to provide advice or services if he— makes an offer to a particular person or class of person, makes arrangements for an advertisement in which he offers to provide advice or services, or makes arrangements for an advertisement in which he is described or presented as competent to provide advice or services. A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. Subsections (3) to (7) of section 91 shall have effect for the purposes of this section as they have effect for the purposes of that section. An information relating to an offence under this section may in England and Wales be tried by a magistrates' court if— it is laid within the period of six months beginning with the date (or first date) on which the offence is alleged to have been committed, or it is laid— within the period of two years beginning with that date, and within the period of six months beginning with a date certified by the Immigration Services Commissioner as the date on which the commission of the offence came to his notice. In Scotland, proceedings for an offence under this section may be commenced— at any time within the period of six months beginning with the date (or first date) on which the offence is alleged to have been committed, or at any time within both— the period of two years beginning with that date, and the period of six months beginning with a date specified, in a certificate signed by or on behalf of the procurator fiscal, as the date on which evidence sufficient in his opinion to warrant such proceedings came to his knowledge, and any such certificate purporting to be so signed shall be deemed so signed unless the contrary is proved and be conclusive as to the facts stated in it. Subsection (3) of section 136 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 46) (date on which proceedings are deemed commenced) has effect to the purposes of subsection (6) as it has effect for the purposes of that section. A complaint charging the commission of an offence under this section may in Northern Ireland be heard and determined by a magistrates' court if— it is made within the period of six months beginning with the date (or first date) on which the offence is alleged to have been committed, or it is made— The Commissioner may give a relevant person a penalty notice if the Commissioner is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the relevant person— has failed to comply with— the duty imposed on the person by paragraph 3(4) of Schedule 5 (duty to comply with Code of Standards) or paragraph 6(2) of that Schedule (duty to assist with investigation of complaint), or any other requirement imposed on the person by or under this Part, or has, without reasonable excuse, obstructed the Commissioner in the exercise of the Commissioner’s functions under paragraph 4A of Schedule 5 (power to carry out inspections). In this section “relevant person”, in relation to the giving of a penalty notice, means a person who was a registered person at the time of the act or omission in relation to which the notice is given. A penalty notice is a notice requiring the person to whom it is given to pay to the Commissioner— an amount specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State (a “fixed penalty notice”), or an amount specified by the Commissioner in the notice (a “variable penalty notice”). The Commissioner may give a person who is not a relevant person a penalty notice if the Commissioner is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the person has failed to comply with the duty imposed on the person by paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 5. The Commissioner may give an unqualified person a penalty notice if the Commissioner is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the person has committed an offence under section 91 or 92B. In subsection (5) “unqualified person”, in relation to the giving of a penalty notice, means a person who was not a qualified person at the time of the act or omission in relation to which the notice is given. An amount specified in regulations under subsection (3)(a), and the amount specified in a variable penalty notice, must not exceed— in the case of a penalty imposed on a person under subsection (5) in relation to the commission of an offence under section 92B, the maximum amount of the fine that could be imposed on the person on summary conviction for the offence; in any other case, £15,000. The Secretary of State may by regulations amend the amount for the time being specified in subsection (7)(b). In this section and sections 92D to 92H— “penalty notice” means a notice under this section; “fixed penalty notice” and “variable penalty notice” have the meanings given by subsection (3). Before giving a penalty notice to a person the Commissioner must notify the person of the Commissioner’s intention to do so. The notice under subsection (1) must— specify the proposed amount of the penalty, specify the Commissioner’s reasons for proposing to impose the penalty, specify the period during which the person may make representations about the proposal (“the specified period”), and specify the way in which those representations may be made. The specified period must not be less than 28 days beginning with the date on which the notice under subsection (1) is given. The Commissioner must have regard to any representations made by a person during the specified period in deciding— whether to give a penalty notice to the person, and if the Commissioner decides to give a variable penalty notice to the person, the amount of the penalty specified in the notice. Where the Commissioner gives a penalty notice to a person, the notice must specify— the amount of the penalty, and the period within which the penalty must be paid (“the payment period”). The penalty notice must also contain information as to— the grounds for the penalty, how payment may be made, the details of any early payment discount or late payment penalty included by virtue of subsection (7), the consequences of non-payment, rights of appeal, and the period within which an appeal may be made. The penalty notice may include provision for the amount payable under the notice— to reduce in the event of early payment; to increase in the event of payment after the end of the payment period. A person to whom a penalty notice has been given may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against— the decision to give the person a penalty notice; where the notice given is a variable penalty notice, the amount of the penalty specified in the notice. On an appeal under this section, the Tribunal may— confirm the requirement to pay the penalty, or in the case of an appeal under subsection (1)(b), amend the amount of the penalty. The requirement to pay the penalty under the notice is suspended at any time when— an appeal under this section could be brought by the person in respect of the penalty, or such an appeal is pending. But subsection (3)(a) does not prevent the requirement to pay taking effect if the person notifies the Commissioner that the person does not intend to appeal. No further amount is payable as a result of provision included in the penalty notice by virtue of section 92D(7)(b) in respect of the period during which the requirement to pay is suspended. For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) an appeal is pending during the period— starting when the appeal is brought, and ending when the appeal is finally determined, abandoned or withdrawn. This section applies if a person who is liable to pay an amount to the Commissioner under a penalty notice has not paid the whole or any part of that amount when it is required to be paid. In England and Wales the Commissioner may recover the unpaid amount on the order of the county court as if it were payable under an order of that court. In Scotland payment of the unpaid amount 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 the Commissioner may recover the unpaid amount on the order of a county court as if it were payable under an order of that court. The Commissioner must prepare and publish guidance about the Commissioner’s use of the power to give a penalty notice. The guidance must, in particular, include information as to— the circumstances in which the Commissioner is likely to give— a fixed penalty notice, or a variable penalty notice, and in the case of a variable penalty notice, the matters to which the Commissioner has regard in determining the amount of the penalty. must from time to time review the guidance, and may revise and republish the guidance following a review. Before preparing or revising guidance under this section, the Commissioner must consult such persons as the Commissioner considers appropriate. A person who is required to pay a penalty under a penalty notice given under section 92C(5) (penalty in respect of offence under section 91 or 92B) may not at any time be convicted of an offence under section 91 or, as the case may be, 92B in respect of the act or omission in relation to which the notice was given. No enactment or rule of law prohibiting or restricting the disclosure of information prevents a person from— giving the Commissioner information which is necessary for the discharge of his functions; or giving the First-tier Tribunal information which is necessary for the discharge of its functions. No relevant person may at any time disclose information which— has been obtained by, or given to, the Commissioner under or for purposes of this Act, relates to an identified or identifiable individual or business, and is not at that time, and has not previously been, available to the public from other sources, unless the disclosure is made with lawful authority. For the purposes of subsection (2), a disclosure is made with lawful authority only if, and to the extent that— it is made with the consent of the individual or of the person for the time being carrying on the business; it is made for the purposes of, and is necessary for, the discharge of any of the Commissioner’s functions under this Act ...; it is made for the purposes of any civil or criminal proceedings arising under or by virtue of this Part, or otherwise; or having regard to the rights and freedoms or legitimate interests of any person, the disclosure is necessary in the public interest. A person who knowingly or recklessly discloses information in contravention of subsection (2) is guilty of an offence and liable— on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum; or on conviction on indictment, to a fine. “Relevant person” means a person who is or has been— the Commissioner; a member of the Commissioner’s staff; or an agent of the Commissioner. The Secretary of State may by order provide for fees to be charged by the Commissioner in respect of the exercise of the Commissioner’s functions. The order may, in particular, make provision— for fees (including fees for the taking of examinations) to be charged in respect of the assessment of a person’s competence to provide immigration advice or immigration services; for fees to be charged in respect of a person’s registration or continued registration; for fees to be charged for making changes to a person’s registration; for fees to be charged in respect of the provision by the Commissioner of training for persons providing or seeking to provide immigration advice or immigration services; for fees to be charged in respect of the provision by the Commissioner of, or of access to, training or other material for such persons; for fees to be charged in respect of the provision by the Commissioner of events for such persons; for fees to be charged in respect of the accreditation by the Commissioner of training or events for such persons; for fees to be charged in respect of the provision of advice by the Commissioner; for, and in connection with, requiring or authorising the Commissioner to waive all or part of a fee in particular cases. The order may result in the charging of a fee in respect of the exercise of a function in a particular case which exceeds the costs of exercising the function in that case. But in specifying the amount of a fee by virtue of subsection (3) the Secretary of State may have regard only to either or both of the following— the costs of exercising the function in question; the costs of exercising any other function of the Commissioner. References in subsection (4) to the costs of exercising a function are to the costs of doing so in a particular class of case or in all cases. In this section “registration” means registration with the Commissioner under section 85. “asylum-seeker” means a person who is not under 18 and has made a claim for asylum which has been recorded by the Secretary of State but which has not been determined; “claim for asylum” means a claim that it would be contrary to the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Refugee Convention, or under Article 3 of the Human Rights Convention, for the claimant to be removed from, or required to leave, the United Kingdom; “the Department” means the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland; “dependant”, in relation to an asylum-seeker or a supported person, means a person in the United Kingdom who— is his spouse; is a child of his, or of his spouse, who is under 18 and dependent on him; or falls within such additional category, if any, as may be prescribed; “the Executive” means the Northern Ireland Housing Executive; “housing accommodation” includes flats, lodging houses and hostels; “local authority” means— in England and Wales, a county council, a county borough council, a district council, a London borough council, the Common Council of the City of London or the Council of the Isles of Scilly; in Scotland, a council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994; “Northern Ireland authority” has the meaning given by section 110(9). “supported person” means— an asylum-seeker, or a dependant of an asylum-seeker, who has applied for support and for whom support is provided under section 95. References in this Part to support provided under section 95 include references to support which is provided under arrangements made by the Secretary of State under that section. For the purposes of this Part, a claim for asylum is determined at the end of such period beginning— on the day on which the Secretary of State notifies the claimant of his decision on the claim, or if the claimant has appealed against the Secretary of State’s decision, on the day on which the appeal is disposed of, as may be prescribed. An appeal is disposed of when it is no longer pending for the purposes of the Immigration Acts or the Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997. For the purposes of the definitions of “asylum-seeker” and “failed asylum-seeker”, the circumstances in which a claim is determined or rejected include where the claim is declared inadmissible under section 80A or 80B of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. But if a claim is— declared inadmissible under section 80B of that Act, and nevertheless considered by the Secretary of State in accordance subsection (7) of that section, the claim ceases to be treated as determined or rejected from the time of the decision to consider the claim. For the purposes of subsection (3), notification of a declaration of inadmissibility under section 80A or 80B of that Act is to be treated as notification of the Secretary of State’s decision on the claim. If an asylum-seeker’s household includes a child who is under 18 and a dependant of his, he is to be treated (for the purposes of this Part) as continuing to be an asylum-seeker while— the child is under 18; and he and the child remain in the United Kingdom. Subsection (5) does not apply if, on or after the determination of his claim for asylum, the asylum-seeker is granted leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom (whether or not as a result of that claim). For further provision as to the conduct of age assessments, which applies for the purposes of this Part, see Part 4 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022. A notice under subsection (3) must be given in writing. If such a notice is sent by the Secretary of State by first class post, addressed— to the asylum-seeker’s representative, or to the asylum-seeker’s last known address, it is to be taken to have been received by the asylum-seeker on the second day after the day on which it was posted. The Secretary of State may provide, or arrange for the provision of, support for— asylum-seekers, or dependants of asylum-seekers, who appear to the Secretary of State to be destitute or to be likely to become destitute within such period as may be prescribed. In prescribed circumstances, a person who would otherwise fall within subsection (1) is excluded. For the purposes of this section, a person is destitute if— he does not have adequate accommodation or any means of obtaining it (whether or not his other essential living needs are met); or he has adequate accommodation or the means of obtaining it, but cannot meet his other essential living needs. If a person has dependants, subsection (3) is to be read as if the references to him were references to him and his dependants taken together. In determining, for the purposes of this section, whether a person’s accommodation is adequate, the Secretary of State— must have regard to such matters as may be prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph; but may not have regard to such matters as may be prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph or to any of the matters mentioned in subsection (6). Those matters are— the fact that the person concerned has no enforceable right to occupy the accommodation; the fact that he shares the accommodation, or any part of the accommodation, with one or more other persons; the fact that the accommodation is temporary; the location of the accommodation. In determining, for the purposes of this section, whether a person’s other essential living needs are met, the Secretary of State— may not have regard to such matters as may be prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph.

The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that items or expenses of such a description as may be prescribed are, or are not, to be treated as being an essential living need of a person for the purposes of this Part. Support may be provided subject to conditions. A condition imposed under subsection (9) may, in particular, relate to— any matter relating to the use of the support provided, or compliance with a condition imposed under Schedule 10 to the Immigration Act 2016 (immigration bail). The conditions must be set out in writing. A copy of the conditions must be given to the supported person. Schedule 8 gives the Secretary of State power to make regulations supplementing this section. Schedule 9 makes temporary provision for support in the period before the coming into force of this section. Support may be provided under section 95— by providing accommodation appearing to the Secretary of State to be adequate for the needs of the supported person and his dependants (if any); by providing what appear to the Secretary of State to be essential living needs of the supported person and his dependants (if any); to enable the supported person (if he is the asylum-seeker) to meet what appear to the Secretary of State to be expenses (other than legal expenses or other expenses of a prescribed description) incurred in connection with his claim for asylum; to enable the asylum-seeker and his dependants to attend bail proceedings in connection with his detention under any provision of the Immigration Acts; or to enable the asylum-seeker and his dependants to attend bail proceedings in connection with the detention of a dependant of his under any such provision. If the Secretary of State considers that the circumstances of a particular case are exceptional, he may provide support under section 95 in such other ways as he considers necessary to enable the supported person and his dependants (if any) to be supported. But the Secretary of State may by order provide for subsection (3) not to apply— in all cases, for such period as may be specified; in such circumstances as may be specified; in relation to specified categories of person; or in relation to persons whose accommodation is in a specified locality. The Secretary of State may by order repeal subsection (3). “Specified” means specified in an order made under subsection (4). When exercising his power under section 95 to provide accommodation, the Secretary of State must have regard to— the fact that the accommodation is to be temporary pending determination of the asylum-seeker’s claim; the desirability, in general, of providing accommodation in areas in which there is a ready supply of accommodation; and such other matters (if any) as may be prescribed. But he may not have regard to— any preference that the supported person or his dependants (if any) may have as to the locality in which the accommodation is to be provided; or The Secretary of State may by order repeal all or any of the following— subsection (1)(a); subsection (1)(b); subsection (2)(a). When exercising the power under section 95 (support for asylum seekers) or section 4 (accommodation for failed asylum seekers) to provide or arrange for the provision of accommodation, the Secretary of State may decide to provide or arrange for the provision of different types of accommodation to persons supported under those sections on the basis of either or both of the following matters— the stage that their claim for asylum has reached, including whether they have been notified that their claim is being considered for a declaration of inadmissibility (see sections 80A and 80B of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002); their previous compliance with any conditions imposed on them under any of the following— section 95(9) (conditions for support under section 95); Schedule 10 to the Immigration Act 2016 (conditions of immigration bail); regulations made under section 4(6) (conditions for support under section 4). When exercising his power under section 95 to provide essential living needs, the Secretary of State— may not have regard to such other matters as may be prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph. In addition, when exercising his power under section 95 to provide essential living needs, the Secretary of State may limit the overall amount of the expenditure which he incurs in connection with a particular supported person— to such portion of the maximum amount of an award of universal credit under section 8(1) of the Welfare Reform Act 2012, or to such portion of the income support applicable amount provided under section 124 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992, or to such portion of any components or elements of that amount, as he considers appropriate having regard to the temporary nature of the support that he is providing. For the purposes of subsection (5), any support of a kind falling within section 96(1)(c) is to be treated as if it were the provision of essential living needs. In determining how to provide, or arrange for the provision of, support under section 95, the Secretary of State may disregard any preference which the supported person or his dependants (if any) may have as to the way in which the support is to be given. who it appears to the Secretary of State may be destitute. Support may be provided under this section only until the Secretary of State is able to determine whether support may be provided under section 95. Subsections (2) to (11) of section 95 apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section. Subsection (3A) of section 97 applies to the power to provide, or arrange for the provision of, accommodation under this section as it applies to the power to do so under section 95. A local authority or Northern Ireland authority may provide support for persons in accordance with arrangements made by the Secretary of State under section 4, 95 or 98. Support may be provided by an authority in accordance with arrangements made with the authority or with another person. Support may be provided by an authority in accordance with arrangements made under section 95 only in one or more of the ways mentioned in section 96(1) and (2). An authority may incur reasonable expenditure in connection with the preparation of proposals for entering into arrangements under section 4, 95 or 98. The powers conferred on an authority by this section include power to— provide services outside their area; provide services jointly with one or more other bodies; form a company for the purpose of providing services; tender for contracts (whether alone or with any other person). This section applies if the Secretary of State asks— a local authority, a private registered provider of social housing, a registered social landlord, a registered housing association in Scotland or Northern Ireland, or the Executive, to assist him to exercise his power under section 95 to provide accommodation. The person to whom the request is made must co-operate in giving the Secretary of State such assistance in the exercise of that power as is reasonable in the circumstances. Subsection (2) does not require a private registered provider of social housing or a registered social landlord to act beyond its powers. A local authority must supply to the Secretary of State such information about their housing accommodation (whether or not occupied) as he may from time to time request. The information must be provided in such form and manner as the Secretary of State may direct. “Registered social landlord” has the same meaning as in Part I of the Housing Act 1996. “Registered housing association” has the same meaning— in relation to Scotland, as in the Housing Associations Act 1985; and in relation to Northern Ireland, as in Part II of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1992.

Subsections (3) and (4) apply if an application for support under section 95 has been made by an eligible person whose household includes a dependant under the age of 18 (“the child”). If it appears to the Secretary of State that adequate accommodation is not being provided for the child, he must exercise his powers under section 95 by offering, and if his offer is accepted by providing or arranging for the provision of, adequate accommodation for the child as part of the eligible person’s household. If it appears to the Secretary of State that essential living needs of the child are not being met, he must exercise his powers under section 95 by offering, and if his offer is accepted by providing or arranging for the provision of, essential living needs for the child as part of the eligible person’s household. No local authority may provide assistance under any of the child welfare provisions in respect of a dependant under the age of 18, or any member of his family, at any time when— the Secretary of State is complying with this section in relation to him; or there are reasonable grounds for believing that— the person concerned is a person for whom support may be provided under section 95; and the Secretary of State would be required to comply with this section if that person had made an application under section 95. “Assistance” means the provision of accommodation or of any essential living needs. “The child welfare provisions” means— section 17 of the Children Act 1989 (local authority support for children and their families); section 22 of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (equivalent provision for Scotland); and Article 18 of the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (equivalent provision for Northern Ireland). Subsection (9) applies if accommodation provided in the discharge of the duty imposed by subsection (3) has been withdrawn. Only the relevant authority may provide assistance under any of the child welfare provisions in respect of the child concerned. “Relevant authority” means— in relation to Northern Ireland, the authority within whose area the withdrawn accommodation was provided; in any other case, the local authority within whose area the withdrawn accommodation was provided.

Any instrument in connection with the acquisition, management or disposal of property, real or personal, heritable or moveable, by the Secretary of State under this Part may be executed on his behalf by a person authorised by him for that purpose. Any instrument purporting to have been so executed on behalf of the Secretary of State is to be treated, until the contrary is proved, to have been so executed on his behalf. This section applies in relation to premises in which accommodation has been provided under section 95 or 98 for a supported person. If, on an application made by a person authorised in writing by the Secretary of State, a justice of the peace is satisfied that there is reason to believe that— the supported person or any dependants of his for whom the accommodation is provided is not resident in it, the accommodation is being used for any purpose other than the accommodation of the asylum-seeker or any dependant of his, or any person other than the supported person and his dependants (if any) is residing in the accommodation, he may grant a warrant to enter the premises to the person making the application. A warrant granted under subsection (2) may be executed— at any reasonable time; using reasonable force. In the application of subsection (2) to Scotland, read the reference to a justice of the peace as a reference to the sheriff or a justice of the peace. The power conferred by this section is to be exercised with a view to obtaining information about premises in which accommodation is or has been provided for supported persons. The Secretary of State may require any person appearing to him— to have any interest in, or to be involved in any way in the management or control of, such premises, or any building which includes such premises, to provide him with such information with respect to the premises and the persons occupying them as he may specify. A person who is required to provide information under this section must do so in accordance with such requirements as may be prescribed. Information provided to the Secretary of State under this section may be used by him only in the exercise of his functions under this Part. The Secretary of State may require any person conveying postal packets to supply redirection information to the Secretary of State— for use in the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offences under this Part; for use in checking the accuracy of information relating to support provided under this Part; or for any other purpose relating to the provision of support to asylum-seekers. The information must be supplied in such manner and form, and in accordance with such requirements, as may be prescribed. The Secretary of State must make payments of such amount as he considers reasonable in respect of the supply of information under this section. “Postal packet” has the same meaning as in the Postal Services Act 2000. “Redirection information” means information relating to arrangements made with any person conveying postal packets for the delivery of postal packets to addresses other than those indicated by senders on the packets. In the 1971 Act, after section 28, insert— A constable or immigration officer may arrest without warrant a person— who has committed or attempted to commit an offence under section 24 or 24A; or whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting has committed or attempted to commit such an offence. But subsection (1) does not apply in relation to an offence under section 24(1)(d). An immigration officer may arrest without warrant a person— who has committed an offence under section 25(1); or whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting has committed that offence. who has committed or attempted to commit an offence under section 25(2); or whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting has committed or attempted to commit that offence. An immigration officer may arrest without warrant a person (“the suspect”) who, or whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting— has committed or attempted to commit an offence under section 26(1)(g); or is committing or attempting to commit that offence. The power conferred by subsection (5) is exercisable only if either the first or the second condition is satisfied. The first condition is that it appears to the officer that service of a summons (or, in Scotland, a copy complaint) is impracticable or inappropriate because— he does not know, and cannot readily discover, the suspect’s name; he has reasonable grounds for doubting whether a name given by the suspect as his name is his real name; the suspect has failed to give him a satisfactory address for service; or he has reasonable grounds for doubting whether an address given by the suspect is a satisfactory address for service. The second condition is that the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that arrest is necessary to prevent the suspect— causing physical injury to himself or another person; suffering physical injury; or causing loss of or damage to property. For the purposes of subsection (7), an address is a satisfactory address for service if it appears to the officer— that the suspect will be at that address for a sufficiently long period for it to be possible to serve him with a summons (or copy complaint); or that some other person specified by the suspect will accept service of a summons (or copy complaint) for the suspect at that address. In relation to the exercise of the powers conferred by subsections (3)(b), (4)(b) and (5), it is immaterial that no offence has been committed. In Scotland the powers conferred by subsections (3), (4) and (5) may also be exercised by a constable. In the 1971 Act, after section 28A, insert— Subsection (2) applies if a justice of the peace is, by written information on oath, satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that a person (“the suspect”) who is liable to be arrested for a relevant offence is to be found on any premises.

An immigration officer may conduct a search under sub-paragraph (2)— before taking the arrested person to a place where he is to be detained; and without obtaining an authorisation under sub-paragraph (3)(c), if the presence of that person at a place other than one where he is to be detained is necessary to make an effective search for any relevant documents. An officer who has conducted a search under sub-paragraph (4) must inform a senior officer as soon as is practicable.

The power conferred by subsection (3) may be exercised— only if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that the arrested person may have concealed on him anything of a kind mentioned in that subsection; and only to the extent that it is reasonably required for the purpose of discovering any such thing. A power conferred by this section to search a person is not to be read as authorising an officer to require a person to remove any of his clothing in public other than an outer coat, jacket or glove; but it does authorise the search of a person’s mouth. An officer searching a person under subsection (2) may seize and retain anything he finds, if he has reasonable grounds for believing that that person might use it to cause physical injury to himself or to another person.

In the 1971 Act, after section 28G, insert— has been arrested for an offence under this Part; and is in custody at a police station or in police detention at a place other than a police station. An immigration officer may, at any time, search the arrested person in order to see whether he has with him anything— which he might use to— cause physical injury to himself or others; damage property; interfere with evidence; or assist his escape; or which the officer has reasonable grounds for believing is evidence relating to the offence in question. The power may be exercised only to the extent that the custody officer concerned considers it to be necessary for the purpose of discovering anything of a kind mentioned in subsection (2). An officer searching a person under this section may seize anything he finds, if he has reasonable grounds for believing that— that person might use it for one or more of the purposes mentioned in subsection (2)(a); or it is evidence relating to the offence in question.

In the 1971 Act, after section 28I, insert— The entry or search of premises under a warrant is unlawful unless it complies with this section and section 28K. If an immigration officer applies for a warrant, he must— state the ground on which he makes the application and the provision of this Act under which the warrant would be issued; specify the premises which it is desired to enter and search; and identify, so far as is practicable, the persons or articles to be sought. In Northern Ireland, an application for a warrant is to be supported by a complaint in writing and substantiated on oath. Otherwise, an application for a warrant is to be made ex parte and supported by an information in writing or, in Scotland, evidence on oath. The officer must answer on oath any question that the justice of the peace or sheriff hearing the application asks him. A warrant shall authorise an entry on one occasion only. A warrant must specify— the name of the person applying for it; the date on which it is issued; the premises to be searched; and the provision of this Act under which it is issued.

If there is no person present who appears to the officer to be in charge of the premises, the officer must leave a copy of the warrant in a prominent place on the premises. A search under a warrant may only be a search to the extent required for the purpose for which the warrant was issued. An officer executing a warrant must make an endorsement on it stating— whether the persons or articles sought were found; and whether any articles, other than articles which were sought, were seized.

While a removal centre contract for the running of a removal centre or part of a removal centre is in force— the removal centre or part is to be run subject to and in accordance with the provisions of or made under this Part; and in the case of a part, that part and the remaining part are to be treated for the purposes of those provisions as if they were separate removal centres.

The contractor, and any sub-contractor of his, must do all that he reasonably can (whether by giving directions to the officers of the removal centre or otherwise) to facilitate the exercise by the contract monitor of his functions. “Lease or tenancy” includes an underlease, sublease or sub-tenancy. In relation to a removal centre contract entered into by the Secretary of State before the commencement of this section, this section is to be treated as having been in force at that time. The Secretary of State may enter into a contract with another person— for functions at, or connected with, a directly managed removal centre to be performed by detainee custody officers provided by that person; or for such functions to be performed by certified prisoner custody officers who are provided by that person. For the purposes of this section “ removal centre” includes a short-term holding facility. The Secretary of State may exercise the powers conferred by this section if it appears to him that— the manager of a contracted out removal centre has lost, or is likely to lose, effective control of the centre or of any part of it; or it is necessary to do so in the interests of preserving the safety of any person, or of preventing serious damage to any property. The Secretary of State may appoint a person (to be known as the Controller) to act as manager of the removal centre for the period— beginning with the time specified in the appointment; and ending with the time specified in the notice of termination under subsection (5). During that period— all the functions which would otherwise be exercisable by the manager or the contract monitor are to be exercisable by the Controller; the contractor and any sub-contractor of his must do all that he reasonably can to facilitate the exercise by the Controller of his functions; and the staff of the removal centre must comply with any directions given by the Controller in the exercise of his functions. The Controller is to have the status of a Crown servant. If the Secretary of State is satisfied that a Controller is no longer needed for a particular removal centre, he must (by giving notice to the Controller) terminate his appointment at a time specified in the notice. As soon as practicable after making an appointment under this section, the Secretary of State must give notice of the appointment to those entitled to notice. As soon as practicable after terminating an appointment under this section, the Secretary of State must give a copy of the notice of termination to those entitled to notice. Those entitled to notice are the contractor, the manager, the contract monitor and the Controller. The Secretary of State must appoint a committee (to be known as the Visiting Committee) for each removal centre. The functions of the Visiting Committee for a removal centre are to be such as may be prescribed by the removal centre rules. Those rules must include provision— as to the making of visits to the centre by members of the Visiting Committee; for the hearing of complaints made by persons detained in the centre; requiring the making of reports by the Visiting Committee to the Secretary of State. Every member of the Visiting Committee for a removal centre may at any time enter the centre and have free access to every part of it and to every person detained there. In section 5A of the Prison Act 1952 (which deals with the appointment and functions of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons), after subsection (5), insert— Subsections (2) to (5) apply to removal centres (as defined by section 147 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and including any in Scotland) and persons detained in such removal centres as they apply to prisons and prisoners. The Secretary of State must make rules for the regulation and management of removal centres. Removal centre rules may, among other things, make provision with respect to the safety, care, activities, discipline and control of detained persons. A detained person does not qualify for the national minimum wage in respect of work which he does in pursuance of removal centre rules. On an application made to him under this section, the Secretary of State may certify that the applicant— is authorised to perform escort functions; or is authorised to perform both escort functions and custodial functions. The Secretary of State may not issue a certificate of authorisation unless he is satisfied that the applicant— is a fit and proper person to perform the functions to be authorised; and has received training to such standard as the Secretary of State considers appropriate for the performance of those functions. A certificate of authorisation continues in force until such date, or the occurrence of such event, as may be specified in the certificate but may be suspended or revoked under paragraph 7 of Schedule 11. A certificate which authorises the performance of both escort functions and custodial functions may specify one date or event for one of those functions and a different date or event for the other. The Secretary of State may confer functions of detainee custody officers on prison officers or prisoner custody officers. A prison officer acting under arrangements made under subsection (5) has all the powers, authority, protection and privileges of a constable. Schedule 11 makes further provision about detainee custody officers. Custodial functions may be discharged at a removal centre only by— a detainee custody officer authorised, in accordance with section 154(1), to perform such functions; or a prison officer, or a certified prisoner custody officer, exercising functions in relation to the removal centre— in accordance with arrangements made under section 154(5); or as a result of a contract entered into under section 150(1)(b). Schedule 12 makes provision with respect to discipline and other matters at removal centres and short-term holding facilities and in pre-departure accommodation . The Secretary of State may make arrangements for— the delivery of detained persons to premises in which they may lawfully be detained; the delivery of persons from any such premises for the purposes of their removal from the United Kingdom in accordance with directions given under the 1971 Act or this Act; the custody of detained persons who are temporarily outside such premises; the custody of detained persons held on the premises of any court. Escort arrangements may provide for functions under the arrangements to be performed, in such cases as may be determined by or under the arrangements, by detainee custody officers. “Court” includes— the First-tier Tribunal; the Upper Tribunal; and the Commission. Escort arrangements may include entering into contracts with other persons for the provision by them of— detainee custody officers; or prisoner custody officers who are certified under section 89 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991, or section 114 or 122 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, to perform escort functions. Schedule 13 makes further provision about escort arrangements. A person responsible for performing a function of a kind mentioned in subsection (1), in accordance with a transfer direction, complies with the direction if he does all that he reasonably can to secure that the function is performed by a person acting in accordance with escort arrangements. “Transfer direction” means a transfer direction given under— section 48 of the Mental Health Act 1983 ... (removal to hospital of, among others, persons detained under the 1971 Act); or in Northern Ireland, article 54 of the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 (provision corresponding to section 48 of the 1983 Act). or a transfer for treatment direction given under section 136 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 as applied by article 13 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2005. The Secretary of State may by regulations extend any provision made by or under this Part in relation to removal centres (other than one mentioned in subsection (2)) to short-term holding facilities. Subsection (1) does not apply to section 150. The Secretary of State may make rules for the regulation and management of short-term holding facilities. The following provisions of this Part apply to pre-departure accommodation as they apply to removal centres— section 149 (contracting out of certain removal centres); section 150 (contracting out functions at directly managed removal centres); section 151 (intervention by Secretary of State). In the application of those provisions to pre-departure accommodation— references to a removal centre contract are to be read as a contract made under section 149(1) for the provision or running of pre-departure accommodation; references to a contracted out removal centre are to be read as references to pre-departure accommodation in relation to which a contract under section 149(1) is in force; references to a directly managed removal centre are to be read as references to pre-departure accommodation in relation to which there is no contract under section 149(1) in force; references to removal centre rules are to be read as references to rules made under subsection (4). The Secretary of State may by regulations extend to pre-departure accommodation any other provision made by or under this Part in relation to removal centres. The Secretary of State may make rules for the regulation and management of pre-departure accommodation. A person who is or has been employed (whether as a detainee custody officer, prisoner custody officer or otherwise)— in accordance with escort arrangements, at a contracted out removal centre, or to perform contracted out functions at a directly managed removal centre, is guilty of an offence if he discloses, otherwise than in the course of his duty or as authorised by the Secretary of State, any information which he acquired in the course of his employment and which relates to a particular detained person. A person guilty of such an offence is liable— on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or to both; on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to both. “Contracted out functions” means functions which, as the result of a contract entered into under section 150, fall to be performed by detainee custody officers or certified prisoner custody officers.

For the purpose of taking a person to or from a removal centre under the order of any authority competent to give the order, a constable may act outside the area of his jurisdiction. When acting under this section, the constable concerned retains all the powers, authority, protection and privileges of his office.

In section 31 of the 1949 Act, insert at the end— If, on an application made to the Registrar General, he is satisfied that there are compelling reasons for reducing the 15 day period because of the exceptional circumstances of the case, he may reduce that period to such shorter period as he considers appropriate. “The 15 day period” means the period of 15 days mentioned in subsections (1) and (2). If the Registrar General reduces the 15 day period in a particular case, the reference to 15 days in section 75(3)(a) is to be treated, in relation to that case, as a reference to the reduced period. The Registrar General may by regulations make provision with respect to the making, and granting, of applications under subsection (5A). The regulations— may provide for the power conferred by subsection (5A) to be exercised by a superintendent registrar on behalf of the Registrar General in cases falling within a category prescribed in the regulations; may provide for the making of an appeal to the Registrar General against a decision taken by a superintendent registrar in accordance with regulations made by virtue of paragraph (a); may make different provision in relation to different cases; require the approval of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

In the 1949 Act, in section 26(1) (marriages which may be solemnized on authority of a certificate of a superintendent registrar), for “a certificate” substitute “two certificates”. In the Marriage Act 1949, after section 28, insert— A superintendent registrar to whom a notice of marriage is given under section 27, or any other person attesting a declaration accompanying such a notice, may require the person giving the notice to provide him with specified evidence— relating to that person; or if the superintendent registrar considers that the circumstances are exceptional, relating to each of the persons to be married. Such a requirement may be imposed at any time— on or after the giving of the notice of marriage; but before the superintendent registrar issues his certificate under section 31. “Specified evidence”, in relation to a person, means such evidence of that person’s— name and surname, age, marital status, and nationality, as may be specified in guidance issued by the Registrar General. In the Marriage Act 1949, in section 31(2) (issue of marriage certificate), for paragraph (a) substitute— the superintendent registrar is not satisfied that there is no lawful impediment to the issue of the certificate; or In the 1949 Act, after section 31, insert— If, relying on section 31(2)(a), a superintendent registrar refuses to issue a certificate, the person applying for it may appeal to the Registrar General.

For the purpose of enabling a person to recover any such costs and damages, a copy of the declaration of the Registrar General purporting to be sealed with the seal of the General Register Office is evidence that the Registrar General has declared the representation to have been frivolous and to be such that it ought not to obstruct the issue of a certificate. In section 3(2) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 (proceedings which must be conducted by the Director of Public Prosecutions), after paragraph (a) insert— to take over the conduct of any criminal proceedings instituted by an immigration officer (as defined for the purposes of the Immigration Act 1971) acting in his capacity as such an officer; In the 1971 Act, after section 31, insert— If a form is prescribed for a particular kind of application under this Act, any application of that kind must be made in the prescribed form.

The regulations may, in particular, provide for proceeds of sale to be applied in payment— of customs or excise duty, of value added tax, of expenses incurred by the Secretary of State, of any penalty or charge which the court has found to be due, in the case of the sale of an aircraft, of charges due as a result of regulations made under section 73 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982, of any surplus to or among the person or persons whose interests in the transporter have been divested as a result of the sale, but not necessarily in that order of priority. The Commissioner may make rules regulating any aspect of the professional practice, conduct or discipline of— registered persons, and those acting on behalf of registered persons, in connection with the provision of immigration advice or immigration services. Before making or altering any rules, the Commissioner must consult such persons appearing to him to represent the views of persons engaged in the provision of immigration advice or immigration services as he considers appropriate. In determining whether a registered person is competent or otherwise fit to provide immigration advice or immigration services, the Commissioner may take into account any breach of the rules by— that person; and any person acting on behalf of that person. The rules may, among other things, make provision requiring the keeping of accounts or the obtaining of indemnity insurance. The Commissioner’s rules must be made or altered by an instrument in writing. Such an instrument must specify that it is made under this Schedule. Immediately after such an instrument is made, it must be printed and made available to the public. The Commissioner may charge a reasonable fee for providing a person with a copy of the instrument. A person is not to be taken to have contravened a rule made by the Commissioner if he shows that at the time of the alleged contravention the instrument containing the rule had not been made available in accordance with this paragraph. The production of a printed copy of an instrument purporting to be made by the Commissioner on which is endorsed a certificate signed by an officer of the Commissioner authorised by him for that purpose and stating— that the instrument was made by the Commissioner, that the copy is a true copy of the instrument, and that on a specified date the instrument was made available to the public in accordance with this paragraph, is evidence (or in Scotland sufficient evidence) of the facts stated in the certificate. A certificate purporting to be signed as mentioned in sub-paragraph (6) is to be treated as having been properly signed unless the contrary is shown. A person who wishes in any legal proceedings to rely on an instrument containing the Commissioner’s rules may require him to endorse a copy of the instrument with a certificate of the kind mentioned in sub-paragraph (6). The Commissioner must prepare and issue a code setting standards of conduct which those to whom the code applies are expected to meet. The code is to be known as the Code of Standards but is referred to in this Schedule as “the Code”. The Code is to apply to any person providing immigration advice or immigration services other than— a person who is authorised by a designated professional body to practise as a member of the profession whose members are regulated by that body; a person who is authorised by a designated qualifying regulator to provide immigration advice or immigration services; a person who is acting on behalf of a person who is within paragraph (a) or (aa) ; a person mentioned in section 84(6). It is the duty of any person to whom the Code applies to comply with its provisions in providing immigration advice or immigration services. If the Commissioner alters the Code, he must re-issue it. Before issuing the Code or altering it, the Commissioner must consult— each of the designated professional bodies; each of the designated qualifying regulators; the Lord President of the Court of Session; the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland; and such other persons appearing to him to represent the views of persons engaged in the provision of immigration advice or immigration services as he considers appropriate. The Commissioner must publish the Code in such form and manner as the Secretary of State may direct. The Secretary of State may by order provide for the provisions of the Code, or such provisions of the Code as may be specified by the order, to apply to— persons authorised by any designated professional body to practise as a member of the profession whose members are regulated by that body; and persons acting on behalf of persons who are within paragraph (a). If the Secretary of State is proposing to act under sub-paragraph (1) he must, before doing so, consult— the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, if the proposed order would affect a designated professional body in Scotland; the Legal Services Oversight Commissioner for Northern Ireland, if the proposed order would affect a designated professional body in Northern Ireland. An order under sub-paragraph (1) requires the approval of— Before deciding whether or not to give its approval under sub-paragraph (3)(a), the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland must consult the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland. Before deciding whether or not to give their approval under sub-paragraph (3)(b), the Scottish Ministers must consult the Lord President of the Court of Session. The Commissioner may carry out inspections of the activities and businesses of registered persons. The Commissioner must establish a scheme (“the complaints scheme”) for the investigation by him of relevant complaints made to him in accordance with the provisions of the scheme. Before establishing the scheme or altering it, the Commissioner must consult— each of the designated professional bodies; and A complaint is a relevant complaint if it relates to— the competence or fitness to provide immigration advice or immigration services of a person who, at the time to which the complaint relates, was a registered person, the competence or fitness of any other person to provide immigration advice or immigration services, the competence or fitness of a person who, at the time to which the complaint relates, was acting on behalf of a registered person, the competence or fitness of any other person acting on behalf of a person providing immigration advice or immigration services, an alleged breach of the Code, an alleged breach of one or more of the Commissioner’s rules by a person who, at the time to which the complaint relates, was a registered person or a person acting on behalf of a registered person, or an alleged breach of a rule of a relevant regulatory body, but not if the complaint is excluded by sub-paragraph (3A). A complaint is excluded if— it relates to a person who is excluded from the application of subsection (1) of section 84 by subsection (6) of that section, or it relates to a person within section 84(2)(ba). The Commissioner may, on his own initiative, investigate any matter which he would have power to investigate on a complaint made under the complaints scheme. In investigating any such matter on his own initiative, the Commissioner must proceed as if his investigation were being conducted in response to a complaint made under the scheme. The complaints scheme must provide for a person who is the subject of an investigation under the scheme to be given a reasonable opportunity to make representations to the Commissioner. Any person who is the subject of an investigation under the scheme must— take such steps as are reasonably required to assist the Commissioner in his investigation; and comply with any reasonable requirement imposed on him by the Commissioner. If a person fails to comply with sub-paragraph (2)(a) or with a requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (2)(b) the Commissioner may— in the case of a registered person, cancel his registration; in any other case, refer the matter to any relevant regulatory body. (See also section 92C (which confers a power to impose monetary penalties for breaching the duty imposed by paragraph 6(2)).) On determining a complaint under the complaints scheme, the Commissioner must give his decision in a written statement. The statement must include the Commissioner’s reasons for his decision. A copy of the statement must be given by the Commissioner to— the person who made the complaint; and the person who is the subject of the complaint. On determining a complaint under the complaints scheme, the Commissioner may— if the person to whom the complaint relates was at the time to which the complaint relates— a registered person, or a person acting on behalf of a registered person, record the complaint and the decision on it to be considered in connection with the next relevant application; refer the complaint and his decision on it to a relevant regulatory body; lay before the First-tier Tribunala disciplinary charge against a relevant person; if the person to whom the complaint relates (“P”) was not, at the time to which the complaint relates, a relevant authorised person, order P or a relevant body in relation to P— to refund all or any part of the fees charged by P or the relevant body for the immigration advice or immigration services to which the complaint relates; to pay to the person to whom the advice or services were provided an amount specified in the order by way of compensation in respect of any loss, inconvenience or distress suffered by the person as a result of the provision of the advice or services. (See also section 92C (which confers a power to impose monetary penalties for breaching the Code or otherwise failing to comply with requirements imposed by or under this Part).) In sub-paragraph (1)(a) “relevant application” means— if the registered person referred to in that sub-paragraph is still registered, an application by that person for continued registration, and otherwise, an application by that person for registration. Sub-paragraph (1)(a) is subject to paragraph 4A(e) of Schedule 6 (duty of Commissioner to cancel registration of a person who is no longer competent or is otherwise unfit). For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(f) and this sub-paragraph— a person is a “relevant authorised person” if— the person falls within section 84(2)(b), or the person falls within section 84(2)(e) because the person acts on behalf of, and under the supervision of, a person falling within section 84(2)(b); a body is a “relevant body” in relation to P if P was acting as the employee, officer, member or partner of the body when providing the immigration advice or immigration services to which the complaint relates; “officer”, in relation to a body corporate, means a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body. The total amount that may be ordered to be refunded or paid by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)(f) in respect of a complaint must not exceed £250,000. The Secretary of State may by regulations amend the amount for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (1D). An order under sub-paragraph (1)(f) may specify the time by which the refund or payment must be made. Sub-paragraph (3) applies if— the First-tier Tribunal is considering a disciplinary charge against a relevant person; and the Commissioner asks it to exercise its powers under that sub-paragraph. The First-tier Tribunal may give directions (which are to have effect while it is dealing with the charge)— imposing restrictions on the provision of immigration advice or immigration services by the relevant person or by a person acting on his behalf or under his supervision; prohibiting the provision of immigration advice or immigration services by the relevant person or a person acting on his behalf or under his supervision. Relevant person” means— a person who, at the time to which the charge relates, was providing immigration advice or immigration services and was— a person acting on behalf of a registered person; a person providing immigration advice or immigration services who is— a person to whom section 84(4)(d) applies, or a person employed by, or working under the supervision of, such a person. This paragraph applies if the Commissioner refers a complaint to a designated professional body under paragraph 9(1)(c). The Commissioner may give directions setting a timetable to be followed by the designated professional body— in considering the complaint; and if appropriate, in taking disciplinary proceedings in connection with the complaint. In making his annual report to the Secretary of State under paragraph 21, the Commissioner must take into account any failure of a designated professional body to comply (whether wholly or in part) with directions given to it under this paragraph. Sub-paragraph (5) applies if the Commissioner or the Secretary of State considers that a designated professional body has persistently failed to comply with directions given to it under this paragraph. The Commissioner must take the failure into account in determining whether to make a report under section 86(9)(b) and the Secretary of State must take it into account in determining whether to make an order under section 86(2). On an application made by the Commissioner a justice of the peace (or in Scotland, the sheriff) may issue a warrant authorising the Commissioner to enter premises. A justice of the peace or sheriff may issue a warrant in respect of premises if satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that— the premises are being used, or have been used, in connection with the provision of immigration advice or immigration services by a registered person, entry to the premises is reasonably required for the exercise of any of the Commissioner's functions, and entry to the premises may be prevented or delayed unless a warrant is produced. The Commissioner may enter premises by virtue of this paragraph only at a reasonable hour. Where the Commissioner enters premises by virtue of this paragraph the Commissioner may— take onto the premises any equipment that appears to the Commissioner to be necessary; require any person on the premises to produce any relevant document and, if the document is produced, to provide any explanation of it; require any person on the premises to state, to the best of the person's knowledge and belief, where any relevant document is to be found; take copies of, or extracts from, any relevant document on the premises which is produced; require any relevant information which is held in a computer and is accessible from the premises to be produced in a form— in which it can be taken away; and in which it is visible and legible. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4), a document or information is “relevant” if the document or information relates to any matter connected with the provision of immigration advice or immigration services. The powers conferred on the Commissioner by sub-paragraphs (1) to (5) may also be exercised by— a member of the Commissioner's staff authorised by the Commissioner in writing, and if the Commissioner so determines, a person appointed by the Commissioner to make a report on the provision of immigration advice or immigration services from the premises in question. If a registered person fails without reasonable excuse to allow access under this paragraph to any premises under the person's occupation or control, the Commissioner may cancel the person's registration. The Commissioner may also cancel the registration of a registered person who— without reasonable excuse fails to comply with a requirement imposed under sub-paragraph (4); intentionally delays or obstructs any person exercising functions under this paragraph; or fails to take reasonable steps to prevent an employee of the registered person from obstructing any person exercising such functions. In this paragraph “premises” includes premises used wholly or partly as a dwelling. The Commissioner is to be a corporation sole.

The Secretary of State may dismiss the Commissioner— on the ground of incapacity or misconduct; or if he is satisfied— that he has been convicted of a criminal offence; or that a bankruptcy order has been made against him, or his estate has been sequestrated, or he has made a composition or arrangement with, or granted a trust deed for, his creditors. The Commissioner is eligible for re-appointment when his term of office ends. Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, the Commissioner is to hold office on such terms and conditions as the Secretary of State may determine. There is to be paid to the Commissioner such remuneration and expenses as the Secretary of State may determine. The Secretary of State may pay, or provide for the payment of, such pensions, allowances or gratuities to or in respect of the Commissioner as he may determine. If a person ceases to be the Commissioner, otherwise than when his term of office ends, and it appears to the Secretary of State that there are special circumstances which make it right for him to receive compensation, the Secretary of State may make a payment to him of such amount as the Secretary of State may determine. The Secretary of State may appoint a person to act as Deputy Commissioner. During any vacancy in the office of Commissioner, or at any time when he is unable to discharge his functions, the Deputy Commissioner may act in his place. Paragraphs 11(2) and 12 to 15 apply to the Deputy Commissioner as they apply to the Commissioner. Subject to obtaining the approval of the Secretary of State as to numbers and terms and conditions of service, the Commissioner may appoint such staff as he considers appropriate. Subject to obtaining the approval of the Secretary of State, the Commissioner may pay, or provide for the payment of, such pensions, allowances or gratuities (including by way of compensation for loss of office or employment) to or in respect of his staff as he considers appropriate. Any functions of the Commissioner may, to the extent authorised by him, be performed by the Deputy Commissioner or any of his staff. The Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 is not to require insurance to be effected by the Commissioner. Sub-paragraph (2) applies at any time when— there is a vacancy in the office of Commissioner or the Commissioner is unable to exercise the Commissioner’s functions, and no person has been appointed as Deputy Commissioner under paragraph 16(1) or the Deputy Commissioner is unable to act in the Commissioner’s place under paragraph 16(2). A member of the Commissioner’s staff nominated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this paragraph may act in the Commissioner’s place. The Secretary of State may pay to the Commissioner— any expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Commissioner in respect of his staff; and with the approval of the Treasury, such other sums for enabling the Commissioner to perform his functions as the Secretary of State thinks fit. Subject to any general or specific directions given to him by the Secretary of State, sums received by the Commissioner in the exercise of his functions must be paid to the Secretary of State.

The Comptroller and Auditor General must— examine, certify and report on each statement received by him under this paragraph; and lay copies of each statement and of his report before each House of Parliament. “Financial year” means the period of 12 months beginning with 1st April. “Specified date” means— 31st August next following the end of the year to which the statement relates; or such earlier date after the end of that year as the Treasury may direct. The Commissioner must, as soon as is practicable after the end of each financial year, report to the Secretary of State on the performance of his functions in that year. The report must, in particular, set out the Commissioner’s opinion as to the extent to which each designated professional body has— provided effective regulation of its members in their provision of immigration advice or immigration services, and complied with requests of the Commissioner for the provision of information. The Secretary of State must lay a copy of the report before each House of Parliament. “Financial year” has the same meaning as in paragraph 20. A document purporting to be an instrument issued by the Commissioner and to be signed by or on behalf of the Commissioner is to be received in evidence and treated as such an instrument unless the contrary is shown. In Part III of Schedule 1 to the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 (offices disqualifying for membership), insert at the appropriate place— The Immigration Services Commissioner The Deputy Immigration Services Commissioner In Part III of Schedule 1 to the Northern Ireland Assembly Disqualification Act 1975 (offices disqualifying for membership), insert at the appropriate place— In Schedule 2 of the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 (departments and authorities subject to investigation) insert, at the appropriate place, “ The Immigration Services Commissioner ”. An application for registration under section 84(2)(a) ... must— be made to the Commissioner in such form and manner, and be accompanied by such information and supporting evidence, as the Commissioner may from time to time determine. When considering an application for registration, the Commissioner may require the applicant to provide him with such further information or supporting evidence as the Commissioner may reasonably require. If the Commissioner considers that an applicant for registration is competent and otherwise fit to provide immigration advice and immigration services, he must register the applicant. Registration may be made so as to have effect— only in relation to a specified field of advice or services; only in relation to the provision of advice or services to a specified category of person; only in relation to the provision of advice or services to a member of a specified category of person; or only in specified circumstances. At such intervals as the Commissioner may determine, each registered person must submit an application for his registration to be continued. Different intervals may be fixed by the Commissioner in relation to different registered persons or descriptions of registered person. An application for continued registration must— When considering an application for continued registration, the Commissioner may require the applicant to provide him with such further information or supporting evidence as the Commissioner may reasonably require. Unless the Commissioner is required by paragraph 4A to cancel the applicant's registration the Commissioner must continue the applicant’s registration but may, in doing so, vary the registration— so as to make it have limited effect in any of the ways mentioned in paragraph 2(2); or so as to make it have full effect. If a registered person fails, without reasonable excuse— to make an application for continued registration as required by sub-paragraph (1) ..., or to provide further information or evidence under sub-paragraph (4), the Commissioner may cancel the person’s registration as from such date as he may determine. The Commissioner may vary a person’s registration— A person convicted of an offence under section 25 or 26(1)(d) or (g) of the 1971 Act is disqualified for registration under paragraph 2 or for continued registration under paragraph 3. The Commissioner must cancel a person's registration if— the person asks for it to be cancelled; the person dies (in a case where the person is an individual) or is dissolved or wound up (in any other case); the person is convicted of an offence under section 25 or 26(1)(d) or (g) of the 1971 Act; under section 89(2A)(b) the First-tier Tribunal directs the Commissioner to cancel the person's registration; or the Commissioner considers that the person is no longer competent or is otherwise unfit to provide immigration advice or immigration services. The First-tier Tribunal may, on an application made to it by the Commissioner, suspend a person's registration if the person is for the time being charged with— an offence involving dishonesty or deception; an indictable offence; or an offence under section 25 or 26(1)(d) or (g) of the 1971 Act. The suspension of the person's registration ceases to have effect if one of these occurs— the person is acquitted of the offence; the charge is withdrawn; proceedings in respect of the charge are discontinued; an order is made for the charge to lie on the file, or in relation to Scotland, the diet is deserted pro loco et tempore. If the person is convicted of an offence under section 25 or 26(1)(d) or (g) of the 1971 Act, the suspension of the person's registration continues to have effect until the Commissioner cancels the person's registration (as required by paragraph 4A(c)). If the person is convicted of any other offence within sub-paragraph (1)— the Commissioner must as soon as reasonably practicable consider whether the person is no longer competent or is otherwise unfit to provide immigration advice or immigration services (so that the person's registration must be cancelled under paragraph 4A(e)); the suspension of the person's registration continues to have effect until the Commissioner either cancels the person's registration, or decides that the person is competent and otherwise fit to provide immigration advice and immigration services. A person whose registration is suspended is not to be treated as a registered person for the purposes of section 84 (but is to be treated as a registered person for the purposes of the other provisions of this Part). Where a person's registration is suspended the Commissioner must as soon as reasonably practicable record the suspension in the register. Where a suspension ceases to have effect (and the person's registration is not cancelled) the Commissioner must as soon as reasonably practicable remove the record of the suspension from the register. No application under paragraph 1 or 3 is to be entertained by the Commissioner unless it is accompanied by the fee specified for that application by order under section 93A (but this is subject to any waiver in accordance with provision by virtue of subsection (2)(i) of that section). The register must be made available for inspection by members of the public in a legible form at reasonable hours. A copy of the register or of any entry in the register must be provided— on payment of a reasonable fee; in written or electronic form; and in a legible form. Sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) also apply to— the record kept by the Commissioner of the persons against whom there is in force a direction given by the First-tier Tribunal under section 89(8). The Secretary of State may by regulations make such further provision with respect to the powers conferred on him by section 95 as he considers appropriate. The regulations may provide, in connection with determining whether a person is destitute, for the Secretary of State to take into account, except in such circumstances (if any) as may be prescribed— income which the person concerned, or any dependant of his, has or might reasonably be expected to have, and support which is, or assets of a prescribed kind which are, or might reasonably be expected to be, available to him or to any dependant of his, otherwise than by way of support provided under section 95. The regulations may provide that in such circumstances (if any) as may be prescribed, a person is not to be treated as destitute for the purposes of section 95. The regulations may make provision— as to the circumstances in which the Secretary of State may, as a general rule, be expected to provide support in accordance with prescribed levels or of a prescribed kind; as to the circumstances in which the Secretary of State may, as a general rule, be expected to provide support otherwise than in accordance with the prescribed levels. The regulations may make provision for prescribed items or services to be provided or made available to persons receiving support under section 95 for such purposes and in such circumstances as may be prescribed. The regulations may make provision requiring the Secretary of State, except in such circumstances (if any) as may be prescribed, to take into account, when deciding the level or kind of support to be provided— The regulations may make provision as to the valuation of assets.

The regulations may make provision for the suspension or discontinuance of support under section 95 in prescribed circumstances (including circumstances in which the Secretary of State would otherwise be under a duty to provide support).

The circumstances which may be prescribed include the cessation of residence— in accommodation provided under section 95; or at an address notified to the Secretary of State in accordance with the regulations. The regulations may provide that if— as a result of support provided under section 95, a person has a tenancy or a licence to occupy accommodation, one or more of the conditions mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) are satisfied, and he is given such notice to quit as may be prescribed by the regulations, his tenancy or licence is to be treated as ending with the period specified in that notice, regardless of when it could otherwise be brought to an end. the support provided under section 95 is suspended or discontinued as a result of any provision of a kind mentioned in paragraph 8; the relevant claim for asylum has been determined; the supported person has ceased to be destitute; he is to be moved to other accommodation. The regulations may make provision requiring a supported person to make payments to the Secretary of State, in prescribed circumstances, by way of contributions to the cost of the provision of that support. The regulations may provide for the recovery by the Secretary of State of sums representing the whole or part of the monetary value of support provided to a person under section 95 where it appears to the Secretary of State— that that person had, at the time when he applied for support, assets of any kind in the United Kingdom or elsewhere which were not capable of being realised; but that those assets have subsequently become, and remain, capable of being realised. An amount recoverable under regulations made by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) may be recovered— as if it were a debt due to the Secretary of State; or by such other method of recovery, including by deduction from support provided under section 95 as may be prescribed. The regulations may make provision with respect to procedural requirements including, in particular, provision as to— the procedure to be followed in making an application for support; the information which must be provided by the applicant; the circumstances in which an application may not be entertained (which may, in particular, provide for an application not to be entertained where the Secretary of State is not satisfied that the information provided is complete or accurate or that the applicant is co-operating with enquiries under paragraph (d)); the making of further enquiries by the Secretary of State; the circumstances in which, and person by whom, a change of circumstances of a prescribed description must be notified to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring prescribed local authorities or local authorities falling within a prescribed description of authority to provide support, during the interim period, to eligible persons. “Eligible persons” means— their dependants, who appear to be destitute or to be likely to become destitute within such period as may be prescribed. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), in Northern Ireland, a Health and Social Care trust established under Article 10 of the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/194 (N.I. 1)) is to be treated as a local authority. The regulations must provide for the question whether a person is an eligible person to be determined by the local authority concerned. The regulations may make provision for support to be provided, before the determination of that question, to a person making a claim for support under the regulations by the Secretary of State or such local authority as may be prescribed. “The local authority concerned” has such meaning as may be prescribed. Subsections (3) to (8) of section 95 apply for the purposes of the regulations as they apply for the purposes of that section, but for the references in subsections (5) and (7) to the Secretary of State substitute references to the local authority concerned. The regulations may prescribe circumstances in which support for an eligible person— must be provided; must or may be refused; or must or may be suspended or discontinued. The regulations may provide that support— is to be provided in prescribed ways; is not to be provided in prescribed ways. The regulations may include provision— as to the level of support that is to be provided; for support to be provided subject to conditions; requiring any such conditions to be set out in writing; requiring a copy of any such conditions to be given to such person as may be prescribed. The regulations may, in particular, require support to be provided subject to a condition of compliance with any restriction imposed under paragraph 21 of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act (temporary admission or release from detention) or paragraph 2 or 5 of Schedule 3 to that Act (restriction pending deportation). The regulations may make provision that, in providing support, a local authority— are to have regard to such matters as may be prescribed; are not to have regard to such matters as may be prescribed. prescribing particular areas, or descriptions of area, (which may include a locality within their own area) in which a local authority may not place asylum-seekers while providing support for them; prescribing circumstances in which a particular area, or description of area, (which may include a locality within their own area) is to be one in which a local authority may not place asylum-seekers while providing support for them; as to the circumstances (if any) in which any such provision is not to apply. The regulations may make provision for the referral by one local authority to another of a claim for support made under the regulations if the local authority to whom the claim is made consider that it is not manifestly unfounded but— they are providing support for a number of asylum-seekers equal to, or greater than, the maximum number of asylum-seekers applicable to them; or they are providing support for a number of eligible persons equal to, or greater than, the maximum number of eligible persons applicable to them. For the purposes of any provision made as a result of sub-paragraph (1), the regulations may make provision for the determination by the Secretary of State of— the applicable maximum number of asylum-seekers; the applicable maximum number of eligible persons. The regulations may make provision for any such determination to be made— for local authorities generally; for prescribed descriptions of local authority; or for particular local authorities. The regulations may provide that a referral may not be made— to a prescribed local authority; to local authorities of a prescribed description; or in prescribed circumstances. The regulations may make provision for the payment by a local authority of any reasonable travel or subsistence expenses incurred as a result of a referral made by them. The regulations may make provision for the transfer of a claim for support, or responsibility for providing support, under the regulations from one local authority to another on such terms as may be agreed between them. In exercising any power under the regulations to refer or transfer, a local authority must have regard to such guidance as may be issued by the Secretary of State with respect to the exercise of the power. The regulations may make provision for the referral of claims for support made to the Secretary of State to prescribed local authorities or local authorities of a prescribed description. The regulations may make provision for the payment by the Secretary of State of any reasonable travel or subsistence expenses incurred as a result of a referral made by him as a result of provision made by virtue of sub-paragraph (1). The regulations may make provision requiring prescribed local authorities or other prescribed bodies to give reasonable assistance to local authorities providing support under the regulations. The regulations may make provision for the procedure for making and determining claims for support. The regulations may make provision for an asylum-seeker or a dependant of an asylum-seeker who has received, or is receiving, any prescribed description of support from a local authority to be taken to have been accepted for support under the regulations by a prescribed local authority. A person entitled to support under the regulations is not entitled to any prescribed description of support, except to such extent (if any) as may be prescribed. “The interim period” means the period— beginning on such day as may be prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph; and ending on such day as may be so prescribed. A person who, for the purpose of obtaining a certificate of authorisation for himself or for any other person— makes a statement which he knows to be false in a material particular, or recklessly makes a statement which is false in a material particular, is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. A detainee custody officer exercising custodial functions has power— to search (in accordance with rules made by the Secretary of State) any detained person in relation to whom the officer is exercising custodial functions; and to search any other person who is in, or is seeking to enter, any place where any such detained person is or is to be held, and any article in the possession of such a person.

In Schedule 1 (supplementary provision as to Commission), in paragraph 5(b)— in sub-paragraph (i), for “paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 to the Immigration Act 1971” substitute “section 57(2) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999”; and in sub-paragraph (ii), for “paragraph 7 of that Schedule” substitute “paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 2 to that Act”. An order made under section 3A of the 1971 Act may make provision with respect to leave given before the commencement of section 1. An order made under section 3B of the 1971 Act may make provision with respect to leave given before the commencement of section 2. This paragraph applies in relation to any time before the commencement of the repeal by this Act of section 2 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996. That section has effect, and is to be deemed always to have had effect, as if the reference to section 6 of the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 were a reference to section 15, and any certificate issued under that section is to be read accordingly. Each existing member of the Tribunal is to continue as a member of the Tribunal as if he had been duly appointed by the Lord Chancellor under Schedule 2. Each existing adjudicator is to continue as an adjudicator as if he had been duly appointed by the Lord Chancellor under Schedule 3. The terms and conditions for a person to whom sub-paragraph (1) or (2) applies remain those on which he held office immediately before the appropriate date. The repeal by this Act of Schedule 5 to the 1971 Act (provisions with respect to adjudicators and the Tribunal) does not affect any entitlement which an existing member or adjudicator had immediately before the appropriate date as a result of a determination made under paragraph 3(1)(b) or 9(1)(b) of that Schedule. “The appropriate date” means— in relation to existing members of the Tribunal, the date on which section 56 comes into force; and in relation to existing adjudicators, the date on which section 57 comes into force. “Existing member” means a person who is a member of the Tribunal immediately before the appropriate date. “Existing adjudicator” means a person who is an adjudicator immediately before the appropriate date. At any time before the coming into force of section 90 of the Access to Justice Act 1999— the reference in section 48(3)(b) to the justices’ chief executive appointed by the magistrates’ court committee whose area includes the petty sessions area for which the specified court acts is to be read as a reference to the clerk of that court; and the reference in section 28K(9)(a) and (10) of the 1971 Act (inserted by section 138) to the justices’ chief executive appointed by the magistrates’ court committee whose area includes the petty sessions area for which the justice acts is to be read as a reference to the clerk to the justices for the petty sessions area for which the justice acts. Section 116 has effect, in relation to any time before section 115 is brought into force, as if section 115 came into force on the passing of this Act. Section 117(1) has effect, in relation to any time before section 115 is brought into force, as if section 115 came into force on the passing of this Act. Subsections (1) to (3) of section 120 have effect, in relation to any time before section 115 is brought into force, as if section 115 came into force on the passing of this Act. Subsections (1) and (2) of section 121 have effect, in relation to any time before section 115 is brought into force, as if section 115 came into force on the passing of this Act. Section 117(2) has effect, in relation to any time before section 115 is brought into force, as if section 115 came into force on the passing of this Act. Section 15 of the 1971 Act, section 5 of the Immigration Act 1988 and the Immigration (Restricted Right of Appeal against Deportation) (Exemption) Order 1993 are to continue to have effect in relation to any person on whom the Secretary of State has, before the commencement of the repeal of those sections, served a notice of his decision to make a deportation order. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if, on the coming into force of section 10, sections 15 of the 1971 Act and 5 of the Immigration Act 1988 have been repealed by this Act. Those sections are to continue to have effect in relation to any person— who applied during the regularisation period fixed by section 9, in accordance with the regulations made under that section, for leave to remain in the United Kingdom, and on whom the Secretary of State has since served a notice of his decision to make a deportation order. The Secretary of State may by order provide for any provision of Part VII of the Housing Act 1996 (homelessness) to have effect in relation to section 185(2) persons, during the interim period, with such modifications as may be specified in the order. An order under this paragraph may, in particular, include provision— for the referral of section 185(2) persons by one local housing authority to another by agreement between the authorities; as to the suitability of accommodation for such persons; as to out-of-area placements of such persons. “Interim period” means the period beginning with the passing of this Act and ending on the coming into force of the repeal of section 186 of the Act of 1996 (asylum-seekers and their dependants) by this Act (as to which see section 117(5)). “Local housing authority” has the same meaning as in the Act of 1996. “Section 185(2) person” means a person who— is eligible for housing assistance under Part VII of the Act of 1996 as a result of regulations made under section 185(2) of that Act; and is not made ineligible by section 186 (or any other provision) of that Act. The fact that an order may be made under this paragraph only in respect of the interim period does not prevent it from containing provisions of a kind authorised under section 166(3)(a) which are to have continuing effect after the end of that period. The Secretary of State may, by directions given to a local authority to whom Schedule 9 applies, require the authority to treat the interim period fixed for the purposes of that Schedule as coming to an end— for specified purposes, in relation to a specified area or locality, or in relation to persons of a specified description, on such earlier day as may be specified. The Secretary of State may, by directions given to an authority to whom an amended provision applies, provide for specified descriptions of person to be treated— for specified purposes, or in relation to a specified area or locality, as being persons to whom section 115 applies during such period as may be specified. Directions given under this paragraph may— make such consequential, supplemental or transitional provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate; and “Specified” means specified in the directions. “Amended provision” means any provision amended by— section 116; section 117(1) or (2); section 120; or section 121.
