About this statute

This provision amends nationality, immigration, and asylum law, including naturalisation requirements, deprivation of citizenship, right-of-abode certificates, accommodation centres, and asylum support rules. This provision changes how asylum and support rules apply, including when the Secretary of State must offer child support, when local authorities may not provide support, and when the Secretary of State may provide accommodation, refuse support, or make orders and regulations. This provision gives the Secretary of State powers to certify, declare inadmissible, and regulate certain asylum and human rights claims, and sets rules for appeals to the Tribunal. This provision gives the Secretary of State powers over biometric information, disclosure requirements, orders, and related immigration enforcement, and it creates offences and penalties for non-compliance. This provision changes citizenship-oath and ceremony rules, gives the Secretary of State and local authorities several regulation and function powers, and amends immigration/support, penalty, detention, charge, and appeal rules.
