§ The Solicitor-General for ScotlandI beg to move amendment No. 71, in page 55, line 28, leave out 'providing residential' and insert—
This amendment enables local authorities to pass on to voluntary organisations
- '(a) providing; or
- (b) contributing by way of grant under section 10 (3) of this Act to the provision by a voluntary organisation of, residential'.
Under clause 26 a certificate may be accepted in evidence for offences under enactments specified in schedule 1. The purpose of the amendment is to extend this provision to certain routine matters required under the Immigration Act 1971. This would provide that in certain mat- 644 any grants that they receive under the clause. I think that will commend itself to both sides of the House.
The Immigration Act 1971 (c. 77) Section 24 (1) (a) in so far as it relates to entry in breach of a deportation order, section 24 (1) (b) and section 26 (1) (f) in so far as it relates to a requirement of regulations (various offences concerning persons entering, or remaining in, the United Kingdom). An officer authorised to do so by the Secretary of State. In relation to a person identified in the certificate— (a) the date, place or means of his arrival in, or any removal of him from, the United Kingdom; (b) any limitation on, or condition attached to, any leave for him to enter or remain in the United Kingdom; (c) the date and method of service of any notice of, or of variation of conditions attached to, such leave.'
§ Amendment agreed to.
