Under section 77(1) of the Immigration Act 2016 (c.19) a public authority must ensure that each person who works for the public authority in a customer-facing role speaks fluent English. Under section 77(2) of that Act in determining how to comply with this duty a public authority must have regard to the code of practice issued under section 80(1) of that Act that is for the time being applicable to that authority.
These Regulations bring into force the code of practice issued under section 80 of that Act. The purpose of the code is to set out guidance for public authorities in relation to Part 7 of that Act.
An impact assessment has been produced in relation to the impact of the duty set out in section 77(1) of that Act on public authorities: a full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. A copy of that impact assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside these Regulations at www.legislation.gov.uk. No additional impact assessment has been produced in respect of these Regulations as no additional impact on the public, private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
