110.Under section 25(1) of the 1971 Act, as amended by the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996, it is an offence to facilitate the entry of an asylum claimant. Section 25(1A) of the 1971 Act makes further provisions in relation to this offence which are replicated in subsection (3) of this clause. However, subsection (3) also extends the definition of asylum claimant to include someone who intends to seek protection under the ECHR. Currently, the offence under section 25(1) does not apply to the actions of those who are employed by bona fide refugee organisations. Subsection (3) extends this so that the offence does not apply to the actions of those who are employed by any bona fide organisation whose purposes include providing assistance to people in the position of the asylum claimant in question.
