Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Under paragraph 26 of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 the owners or agents of a ship or aircraft employed to carry passengers for reward are prohibited from arranging, without the approval of the Secretary of State, for the ship or aircraft to call at a port in the United Kingdom other than a designated port of entry for the purpose of disembarking passengers, if any of them require leave to enter the United Kingdom and have not been given leave, or for the purpose of embarking passengers unless the owners or agents have reasonable cause to believe all of them to be British citizens. An owner or agent who contravenes the provisions of paragraph 26 commits an offence under section 27 of the Act.

Under section 13(3) a person who is entitled to appeal against a refusal of leave to enter the United Kingdom may do so only if (in addition to holding an entry clearance or a work permit) he was refused leave at a designated port of entry.

This Order consolidates with amendments previous orders designating ports of entry for the purposes of the Act. The only changes of substance are the addition of Ramsgate to the list of Seaports and Hoverports and the deletion of Ramsgate Hoverport from that list and the addition of Leeds/Bradford to the list of Airports and the deletion of Lydd (Ferryfield) from that list.
