Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Immigration (Restricted Right of Appeal Against Deportation) (Exemption) Order 1993 to take account of an amendment to the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 made by the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996. The 1996 Act provides for the Secretary of State to curtail the leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom of the dependants of a person whose leave is curtailed on the rejection of his asylum claim. The 1993 Order provided that such a person was exempt from the restrictions on the right of appeal against deportation imposed by the Immigration Act 1988; and this Order extends that exemption to the dependants of such a person.
