Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order specifies certain information (relating to the passengers carried, or expected to be carried, by ships or aircraft) as passenger information for the purposes of paragraph 27B of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 (as inserted by section 18 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999).

Paragraph 27B allows immigration officers to require carriers to provide passenger information relating to those carried, or expected to be carried, by their ships or aircraft.

Certain types of passenger information are specified only to the extent that they are known to a carrier.

A carrier who fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with the requirements of paragraph 27B commits an offence under section 27(b)(iv) of the 1971 Act (as inserted by paragraph 52 of Schedule 14 to the 1999 Act).
