UK immigration control: how it works

Immigration (Biometric Registration) (Civil Penalty Code of Practice) Order 2025

Made as SI 2025/262, the Immigration (Biometric Registration) (Civil Penalty Code of Practice) Order 2025 provides for a reissued code of practice under section 13(4) of the UK Borders Act 2007 to come into force.
