(2)Where a person (“P”) is liable to be or has been removed from the United Kingdom under subsection (1), a member of P's family who meets the following three conditions may also be removed from the United Kingdom under the authority of the Secretary of State or an immigration officer, provided that the Secretary of State or immigration officer has given the family member written notice of the intention to remove him or her.

(3)The first condition is that the family member is—

(b)P's child, or a child living in the same household as P in circumstances where P has care of the child,

(c)in a case where P is a child, P's parent, or
