This Order makes provision, in connection with the Immigration Act 1971, as respects the records to be kept of persons staying at hotels and similar premises. The provision made corresponds to that in Article 19 of the Aliens Order 1953 as amended, which ceases to have effect on the coming into operation of the Act of 1971. Article 2(4) makes transitional provision.
