Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009

Section 50: Restriction on studies

193.Section 50 amends section 3(1)(c) of the IA 1971 to allow a condition to be imposed on a migrant’s limited leave to enter or remain in the UK, restricting his or her studies whilst here. It will not apply to migrants who are, or have been, granted indefinite leave to enter or remain.

194.This condition could be used, for example, to stipulate an educational institution at which a student migrant is granted leave to study, with the result that any change of institution would require an application to the UK Border Agency for variation of condition. Breach of the condition will be a criminal offence under section 24(1)(b)(ii) of the IA 1971 and may result in removal from the UK.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
