  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Immigration and Asylum Appeals (Notices) Regulations 2000 in two respects.\nFirst, regulation 4(4) is amended to provide that a notice must be served where a person makes an allegation that an authority racially discriminated against him in taking a decision. This is necessary because of amendments to section 65 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and section 2A of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997 by the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000. These amendments give a right of appeal to a person who alleges that an authority has, in taking any decision under the Immigration Acts relating to that person’s entitlement to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, racially discriminated against him.\nSecondly, a new regulation 8 is inserted. This provides that where a notice is sent outside the United Kingdom, it shall be deemed to have been received 28 days after the day it was posted.",
