Explanatory note

These Regulations revoke the Immigration (Registration with Police) Regulations 1972, which required an alien, unless exempt, to register with the police and to subsequently notify the police of any changes to their address or their particulars.

Regulation 3 provides that any condition imposed under the Immigration Act 1971, prior to the commencement of these Regulations, requiring an alien to register with the police and comply with the requirements as set out in the Immigration (Registration with Police) Regulations 1972, ceases to have effect when these Regulations come into force.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
