PROPOSITION

THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion

to signify, pursuant to Article 31(1)(b)(i) of the States of Jersey Law 2005, whether they agree that a request be made to Her Majesty in Council for the making of an Order in Council that would extend to Jersey, with appropriate exceptions, modifications and adaptations, the provisions of –

  1. sections 27 and 42 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006;
  2. section 67 of, and Schedule 8 and Parts 1 and 10 of Schedule 9 to, the Immigration Act 2014,

as summarised in the Report of the Chief Minister dated 10th June 2015.

CHIEF MINISTER

REPORT

Executive summary

  1. The purpose of this Proposition is to request the States to consider whether to agree to the extension to Jersey of certain provisions of the following Acts of the United Kingdom –
  1. the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act");
  2. the Immigration Act 2014 of the United Kingdom ("the 2014 Act").
  1. The main purpose in doing so is to widen powers in Jersey to implement embarkation controls. The legislation will introduce powers to enable carrier and  port  operator  staff  to  play  a  role  in  carrying  out  these  checks  on passengers departing to places outside of the Common Travel Area (which consists  of  the  United  Kingdom,  Channel  Islands,  the  Isle  of  Man  and Republic of Ireland). This will help develop an efficient exit checks system to protect  the  Public  from  crime,  terrorism  and  illegal  immigration,  whilst disrupting legitimate passenger traffic as little as possible.

As Jersey is part of the Common Travel Area, it is required to maintain the same standard of Immigration control as the United Kingdom Government.

Embarkation controls – the change in the United Kingdom

  1. The 2014 Act received Royal Assent on 14th May 2014. Section 67, together with Schedule 8, provides for the Secretary of State to enable third parties, including  carrier  and  port  operator  staff,  (as  "designated  persons"),  to undertake  embarkation  checks  on  passengers  departing  from  the  United Kingdom.  Schedule 8  also  contains  powers  to  direct  carriers  and  port operators  to  make  arrangements  for  a  designated  person  to  conduct embarkation checks. There are some small consequential provisions in Parts 1 and 10 of Schedule 9 that are relevant also in this respect.

The effect in Jersey

  1. Section 67 and Schedule 8 (along with the minor consequential provisions in Schedule 9) as extended to Jersey in their adjusted form would empower the Minister for Home Affairs ("the Minister") to make designations of persons in relation to embarkation checks undertaken in Jersey, in the same way as the Secretary of State is enabled to designate persons in relation to embarkation checks undertaken in the United Kingdom.
  2. There  would,  however,  be  a  requirement  for  the  Minister  to  inform  the Lieutenant-Governor  of  any  such  designation  (or  of  any  variation  or withdrawal of such a designation).
  3. The Minister would similarly be empowered to direct –
  1. an owner or agent of a ship or aircraft, or
  2. a person concerned in the management of a port,

to make arrangements for designated persons to exercise a specified function, or a function of a specified description, in relation to persons of a specified description.

  1. The effect in practice  will be that powers of examination, currently only exercisable by an immigration officer, will be exercised to a limited extent by a designated person in relation to persons leaving Jersey.

These provisions will allow those who currently have a role in outbound passenger processes to be designated and trained to perform the basic checks required to establish a passenger's identity, to collect the data necessary to identify threats, persons of interest, and to confirm departure.

It is not intended that designated persons should exercise any other powers of an immigration officer such as powers of search or detention.

The legislation will enable the Minister for Home Affairs to direct a carrier or port operator to make arrangements for a designated person to exercise those powers.  It  will  also  create  an  offence for  non-compliance  with any  such direction.

The 2006 Act

  1. Sections 27 and 42 of the 2006 Act would also be extended. Section 27 made 2 substantive changes to Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 as it had effect in the United Kingdom. (Schedule 2 makes administrative provisions as to control of entry, etc. to the United Kingdom.) Section 27 of the 2006 Act –
  1. brought  together  the  provisions  on  detention  and  examination  of passports and other documents produced by passengers, or found on them, while being examined under Schedule 2 and provided that the same  conditions  should  govern  detention  and  examination  for  all documents; and
  2. provided a new power for immigration officers to require passengers being examined under Schedule 2 to provide biometric information (such  as  fingerprints)  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  whether  a passenger in question was the rightful holder of the passport or other document he produced.
  1. Section 42  of  the  2006  Act  amended  paragraphs  3  and  16  of  Schedule 2 (under which an immigration officer is able to examine departing passengers to establish nationality and identity). The effects of the amendments in the United Kingdom were –
  1. to extend the powers of examination on embarkation to cover 3 new kinds of information. An immigration officer was given the power to examine  an  embarking  passenger,  not  only  for  the  purpose  of establishing whether he was a British citizen, and if not, his identity, but also to establish whether –
  1. his entry to the United Kingdom was lawful,
  2. he had complied with any conditions of leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, and
  3. his return to the United Kingdom was prohibited or restricted;
  1. to enable an immigration officer to require a person to submit to further examination by giving him written notice that he must do so;
  2. to introduce the power for a person to be detained under the authority of an immigration officer where he had been required to submit to further examination on embarkation. The detention could only be for a maximum of 12 hours pending the completion of the further examination;
  3. to make clear that paragraph 21 of Schedule 2, which makes provision for temporary admission, did not apply to detention of departing passengers. As detention is permitted only for a maximum of 12 hours, the power to grant temporary admission was not necessary.
  1. The extension of both of these sections to Jersey would have the like effects in this jurisdiction. In practice, what these changes mean is that they will extend the powers of an immigration officer in Jersey in examining embarking passengers.

The statutory provisions as extended

  1. Section 27 of the Immigration Act 1971 as extended to Jersey[1] provides for certain offences by persons connected with ships or aircraft or with ports (mainly failing to comply with immigration formalities and directions). Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act, as extended, makes administrative provisions as to control of entry, etc. to the Island. It is these provisions of the 1971 Act that the intended Order in Council would amend.
  2. Section 27 and Schedule 2, as each has effect in Jersey, are set out in the Appendix to this report with the amendments that are intended to be made. (Note: the text as shown in the Appendix may not be replicated in exactly the form shown, because the text of the draft Order in Council has yet to be finally settled with legal advisers; but the substantive effect of the provisions as extended will still have to be consistent with this Report.)

  3. If, before the directions for a person's removal under paragraph 8 or 10 above have been carried out, he is given leave to enter the [Bailiwick  of  Jersey],  no  sum  shall  be  demanded  under  sub- paragraph (1) above for expenses incurred in respect of that person and any sum already demanded and paid shall be refunded.

if the presence of that person at a place other than one where he is to be detained is necessary to make an effective search for any relevant documents.

  1. An officer who has conducted a search under sub-paragraph (4) must inform a senior officer as soon as is practicable.
