Persons refused admission

25.—(1) This regulation applies to a person who is in the United Kingdom and has been refused admission to the United Kingdom—

(b) in accordance with regulation 21(1) or (2).

(2) A person to whom this regulation applies is to be treated as if he were a person refused leave to enter under the 1971 Act, and the provisions set out in paragraph (3) apply accordingly.
