These Regulations extend section 149 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, which provides for the contracting out of certain detention centres, to short-term holding facilities. This enables the Secretary of State to enter into a contract with another person for the provision or running (or the provision and running) by him, or (if the contract so provides) for the running by sub-contractors of his, of any short-term holding facility or part of a short-term holding facility.
