Article 2 brings into force on 14th December 2024 sections 23(6) and 25(5) of the Immigration Act 2014, so far as not already in force. Those same provisions were previously brought into force in respect of premises located in the areas of five local authorities in England by S.I. 2014/2771 and in respect of premises located in the rest of England by S.I. 2016/11.

Article 3 revokes the Immigration Act 2014 (Commencement No. 8) Order 2023 (S.I. 2023/1215), in consequence of a defect in that instrument.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
