(a)the person is to be treated for the purposes of section 24B(2) of the Immigration Act 1971(3) as if the person had been granted leave to enter the United Kingdom, but

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make transitional provision in connection with the coming into force of the offence of illegal working in section 34 of the Immigration Act 2016. Section 34 of the Immigration Act 2016 inserts the offence of illegal working into the Immigration Act 1971 as section 24B.

The concepts of temporary admission and release from detention are being replaced by the concept of immigration bail by section 61 of the Immigration Act 2016, which is yet to be commenced. In the interim period, regulation 2 ensures that those persons on temporary admission or release from detention with permission to work do not commit the offence of illegal working, provided that they comply with any restrictions as to their employment.

(3)

Section 24B of the Immigration Act 1971 is inserted by section 34(3) of the Immigration Act 2016.
