These Regulations are the second commencement regulations made under the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (c. 36) (“the 2022 Act”).
Regulation 2 brings into force on 24th August 2022 paragraph 4(b) of Schedule 6 to the 2022 Act (and paragraph 1 of that Schedule, and section 43(2), for that purpose).
Section 28(2A) of the Immigration Act 1971 (c. 77) (“the 1971 Act”) disapplies the requirement under section 3 of the Territorial Waters Jurisdiction Act 1878 (c. 73) (consent of Secretary of State for certain prosecutions) in relation to proceedings for an offence under section 25 or 25A (or 25B, where saved by S.I. 2020/1309) of the 1971 Act. The provisions of the 2022 Act commenced by these Regulations amend section 28(2A) of the 1971 Act so the disapplication of that requirement applies to proceedings for any offence under Part 3 of the 1971 Act.
