Section 16: TPIMs: overnight residence measure

84. Subsections (1) to (5) amend paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the TPIM Act to provide that the Secretary of State may either agree with an individual a locality in which that individual must reside or require an individual to live in a residence in a locality that the Secretary of State otherwise considers appropriate. If there are premises that are the individual’s own residence at the time when the TPIM notice is imposed, the Secretary of State may only require the individual to live in a residence that is more than 200 miles from those premises if the individual agrees.

85. Subsection (5) reproduces existing provision in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the TPIM Act to the effect that the specified residence may be provided by the Secretary of State. There is no requirement that it must be.
