Section 53: Relationship with other bodies: non-interference notices

156.Section 53 gives the Chief Inspector the power to issue a notice preventing a person (specified by the Secretary of State) from conducting an investigation of the Border and Immigration Agency if the Chief Inspector thinks that it may place an unreasonable burden on the Agency. The person on whom the notice is served must comply with it, unless the Secretary of State cancels it on the basis that the inspection would not impose an unreasonable burden on the Agency. The Secretary of State has the power to specify the form of notices and what information they must contain and set out details about the timing, publication and revision or withdrawal of notices.
