## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Persons subject to Immigration Control (Housing Authority Accommodation and Homelessness) Order 2000.
This Order replaces one of the limbs of Class B to reflect changes to the process of and language used in the granting of leave outside the immigration rules. What was formerly known as “exceptional leave” has been replaced with “leave outside the immigration rules”.
It also inserts a new class (Class BA) that covers persons who have humanitarian protection granted under the immigration rules. Before 9th October 2006 persons qualifying for humanitarian protection were granted leave outside the immigration rules. From 9th October 2006 the status of humanitarian protection will be included within the immigration rules.
