(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Channel Tunnel (International Arrangements) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/1813). It modifies paragraph 2A of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 (as inserted by paragraph 57 of Schedule 14 to the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999) so that immigration officers will be able to exercise the powers given to them by that paragraph in control zones in France and Belgium, as well as in the United Kingdom.

This Order also modifies articles 4 and 6 of the Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/1161) so that entry clearances will have effect as leave to enter the United Kingdom in control zones as well as on arrival in the United Kingdom.
