(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order prescribes the fee to be paid to the Immigration Services Commissioner on making an application for registration or continued registration with the Immigration Services Commissioner as required under Part V of Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 ("the Act").
The level of the fee varies according to the number of members and employees, or persons working under the supervision of such members or employees, of the person applying for registration who provide immigration advice or immigration services. Such members or employees or persons working under their supervision are excluded from the total figure if they are qualified persons within the meaning of sections 84(2)(c) to (f) of the Act, or if they are persons to whom section 84(4) applies.
The different levels of fee are designed to take account of the resources the Commissioner will need to call upon to consider an application for registration or continued registration. It is anticipated that the Commissioner will need fewer resources to consider an application for registration or continued registration from a single individual than, for example, from a body comprising 10 members, all of whom provide immigration advice or immigration services.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment was prepared for Part V of the Immigration and Asylum Bill as it was then and the statutory instruments to be made under it, and was placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies can be obtained by post from the Home Office, AAPD, Advance House, 15 Wellesley Road, Croydon CR9 3LY.
