Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends article 4 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 (Commencement No. 8 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/310). Article 4 makes saving and transitional provision in respect of the commencement of section 4 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, which inserts section 88A into the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. The amendments to the saving and transitional provision reduce the scope of that provision with the effect that the substituted section 88A (which removes the right of appeal against a refusal of entry clearance except in certain circumstances) additionally applies in respect of applications made for the purpose of visiting a person of a class or description prescribed in regulations. Article 3 of the Order contains a saving provision.
