1Removal of persons unlawfully in the United Kingdom

For section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, substitute—

10Removal of persons unlawfully in the United Kingdom1

A person may be removed from the United Kingdom under the authority of the Secretary of State or an immigration officer if the person requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom but does not have it.

2

Where a person (“P”) is liable to be or has been removed from the United Kingdom under subsection (1), a member of P's family who meets the following three conditions may also be removed from the United Kingdom under the authority of the Secretary of State or an immigration officer, provided that the Secretary of State or immigration officer has given the family member written notice of the intention to remove him or her.

3

The first condition is that the family member is—

a

P's partner,

b

P's child, or a child living in the same household as P in circumstances where P has care of the child,

c

in a case where P is a child, P's parent, or

d

an adult dependent relative of P.

4

The second condition is that—

a

in a case where the family member has leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, that leave was granted on the basis of his or her family life with P;

b

in a case where the family member does not have leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, in the opinion of the Secretary of State or immigration officer the family member—

i

would not, on making an application for such leave, be granted leave in his or her own right, but

ii

would be granted leave on the basis of his or her family life with P, if P had leave to enter or remain.

5

The third condition is that the family member is neither a British citizen, nor is he or she entitled to enter or remain in the United Kingdom by virtue of an enforceable EU right or of any provision made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972.

6

A notice given to a family member under subsection (2) invalidates any leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom previously given to the family member.

7

For the purposes of removing a person from the United Kingdom under subsection (1) or (2), the Secretary of State or an immigration officer may give any such direction for the removal of the person as may be given under paragraphs 8 to 10 of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act.

8

But subsection (7) does not apply where a deportation order is in force against a person (and any directions for such a person's removal must be given under Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act).

9

The following paragraphs of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act apply in relation to directions under subsection (7) (and the persons subject to those directions) as they apply in relation to directions under paragraphs 8 to 10 of Schedule 2 (and the persons subject to those directions)—

a

paragraph 11 (placing of person on board ship or aircraft);

b

paragraph 16(2) to (4) (detention of person where reasonable grounds for suspecting removal directions may be given or pending removal in pursuance of directions);

c

paragraph 17 (arrest of person liable to be detained and search of premises for person liable to arrest);

d

paragraph 18 (supplementary provisions on detention);

e

paragraph 18A (search of detained person);

f

paragraph 18B (detention of unaccompanied children);

g

paragraphs 19 and 20 (payment of expenses of custody etc);

h

paragraph 21 (temporary admission to UK of person liable to detention);

i

paragraphs 22 to 25 (bail);

j

paragraphs 25A to 25E (searches etc).

10

The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about—

a

the time period during which a family member may be removed under subsection (2);

b

the service of a notice under subsection (2).

11

In this section “child” means a person who is under the age of 18.

2Restriction on removal of children and their parents etc

After section 78 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, insert—

78ARestriction on removal of children and their parents etc1

This section applies in a case where—

a

a child is to be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom, and

b

an individual who—

i

is a parent of the child or has care of the child, and

ii

is living in a household in the United Kingdom with the child,

is also to be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom (a “relevant parent or carer”).

2

During the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the relevant appeal rights are exhausted—

a

the child may not be removed from or required to leave the United Kingdom; and

b

It is in the public interest, and in particular in the interests of the economic well-being of the United Kingdom, that persons who seek to enter or remain in the United Kingdom are financially independent, because such persons—

a

are not a burden on taxpayers, and

b

are better able to integrate into society.

4

Little weight should be given to—

a

a private life, or

b

a relationship formed with a qualifying partner,

that is established by a person at a time when the person is in the United Kingdom unlawfully.

5

Little weight should be given to a private life established by a person at a time when the person's immigration status is precarious.

6

In the case of a person who is not liable to deportation, the public interest does not require the person's removal where—

a

the person has a genuine and subsisting parental relationship with a qualifying child, and

b

it would not be reasonable to expect the child to leave the United Kingdom.

117CArticle 8: additional considerations in cases involving foreign criminals1

The deportation of foreign criminals is in the public interest.

2

The more serious the offence committed by a foreign criminal, the greater is the public interest in deportation of the criminal.

3

In the case of a foreign criminal (“C”) who has not been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of four years or more, the public interest requires C's deportation unless Exception 1 or Exception 2 applies.

4

Exception 1 applies where—

a

C has been lawfully resident in the United Kingdom for most of C's life,

b

C is socially and culturally integrated in the United Kingdom, and

c

there would be very significant obstacles to C's integration into the country to which C is proposed to be deported.

5

Exception 2 applies where C has a genuine and subsisting relationship with a qualifying partner, or a genuine and subsisting parental relationship with a qualifying child, and the effect of C's deportation on the partner or child would be unduly harsh.

6

In the case of a foreign criminal who has been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of at least four years, the public interest requires deportation unless there are very compelling circumstances, over and above those described in Exceptions 1 and 2.

7

The considerations in subsections (1) to (6) are to be taken into account where a court or tribunal is considering a decision to deport a foreign criminal only to the extent that the reason for the decision was the offence or offences for which the criminal has been convicted.

i

section 1(3),

ii

section 3(2),

iii

section 3(5),

iv

paragraph 4 of Schedule 2, or

v

paragraph 5 of Schedule 2,

had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth.

2

In the following provisions of this section “relevant registration provision” means the provision under which P would be entitled to be registered as a British citizen (as mentioned in subsection (1)(b)).

3

If the relevant registration provision is section 3(2), a person who is registered as a British citizen under this section is a British citizen by descent.

4

If the relevant registration provision is section 3(5), the Secretary of State may, in the special circumstances of the particular case, waive the need for any or all of the parental consents to be given.

5

For that purpose, the “parental consents” are—

a

the consent of P's natural father, and

b

the consent of P's mother,

insofar as they would be required by section 3(5)(c) (as read with section 3(6)(b)), had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth.

4GPerson unable to become citizen automatically after commencement1

2

A person who is registered as a British citizen under this section is a British citizen by descent if the British citizenship which the person would have acquired at birth (as mentioned in subsection (1)(b)) would (by virtue of section 14) have been British citizenship by descent.

But if P's natural father or mother has died on or before the date of the application, the reference in subsection (3) to P's natural father and mother is to be read as a reference to either of them.

5

The Secretary of State may, in the special circumstances of a particular case, waive the need for any or all of the consents required by subsection (3) (as read with subsection (4)) to be given.

6

The reference in this section to the period after commencement does not include the time of commencement (and, accordingly, this section does not apply to any case in which a person was unable to become a British citizen at commencement).

A person (“P”) is entitled to be registered as a British citizen on an application made under this section if—

a

P meets the general conditions;

b

P was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies immediately before commencement; and

c

P would have automatically become a British citizen at commencement, by the operation of any provision of this Act, had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth.

i

would have been a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies immediately before commencement, and

2

P is an “eligible former British national” if P was not a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies immediately before commencement and either—

a

P ceased to be a British subject or a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by virtue of the commencement of any independence legislation, but would not have done so had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth, or

b

P was a British subject who did not automatically become a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at commencement of the British Nationality Act 1948 by the operation of any provision of it, but would have done so had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth.

3

P is an “eligible non-British national” if—

a

P was never a British subject or citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies; and

b

had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth, P would have automatically become a British subject or citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies—

i

at birth, or

ii

by virtue of paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 to the British Nationality Act 1948 (child of male British subject to become citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies if the father becomes such a citizen).

4

A person who is registered as a British citizen under this section is a British citizen by descent if the British citizenship which the person would have acquired at commencement (as mentioned in subsection (1)(c)(ii)) would (by virtue of section 14) have been British citizenship by descent.

5

In determining for the purposes of subsection (1)(c)(i) whether P would have been a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies immediately before commencement, it must be assumed that P would not have—

a

renounced or been deprived of any notional British nationality, or

b

lost any notional British nationality by virtue of P acquiring the nationality of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom.

6

A “notional British nationality” is—

a

in a case where P is an eligible former British national, any status as a British subject or a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies which P would have held at any time after P's nationality loss (had that loss not occurred and had P's mother had been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth);

b

in a case where P is an eligible non-British national—

i

P's status as a British subject or citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies mentioned in subsection (3)(b), and

ii

any other status as a British subject or citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies which P would have held at any time afterwards (had P's mother been married to P's natural father at the time of P's birth).

7

In this section—

“British subject” has any meaning which it had for the purposes of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914;

independence legislation” means an Act of Parliament or any subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978) forming part of the law in the United Kingdom (whenever passed or made, and whether or not still in force)—

b

dealing with nationality, or any other ancillary matters, in connection with a country or territory becoming independent from the United Kingdom;

P's nationality loss” means P's—

a

ceasing to be a British subject or citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (as mentioned in subsection (2)(a)), or

b

not becoming a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (as mentioned in subsection (2)(b)).

4JSections 4E to 4I: supplementary provision1

In sections 4E to 4I and this section, a person's “natural father” is a person who satisfies the requirements as to proof of paternity that are prescribed in regulations under section 50(9B).

2

The power under section 50(9B) to make different provision for different circumstances includes power to make provision for the purposes of any provision of sections 4E to 4I which is different from other provision made under section 50(9B).

3

The following provisions apply for the purposes of sections 4E to 4I.

4

A reference to a person automatically becoming a British citizen, or a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, is a reference to the person becoming such a citizen without the need for—

a

the person to be registered as such a citizen by the Secretary of State or any other minister of the Crown;

b

the birth of the person to be registered by a diplomatic or consular representative of the United Kingdom; or

c

the person to be naturalised as such a citizen.

5

If the mother of a person could not actually have been married to the person's natural father at the time of the person's birth (for whatever reason), that fact does not prevent an assumption being made that the couple were married at the time of the birth.

66Deprivation if conduct seriously prejudicial to vital interests of the UK1

In section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 (deprivation of citizenship), after subsection (4) insert—

4A

But that does not prevent the Secretary of State from making an order under subsection (2) to deprive a person of a citizenship status if—

a

the citizenship status results from the person's naturalisation,

b

the Secretary of State is satisfied that the deprivation is conducive to the public good because the person, while having that citizenship status, has conducted him or herself in a manner which is seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom, any of the Islands, or any British overseas territory, and

c

the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds for believing that the person is able, under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, to become a national of such a country or territory.

2

In deciding whether to make an order under subsection (2) of section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 in a case which falls within subsection (4A) of that Act, the Secretary of State may take account of the manner in which a person conducted him or herself before this section came into force.

3

After section 40A of the British Nationality Act 1981 insert—

40BReview of power under section 40(4A)1

The Secretary of State must arrange for a review of the operation of the relevant deprivation power to be carried out in relation to each of the following periods—
