UK Borders Act 2007

Section 29: Facilitation: arrival and entry

95.Section 29 amends the existing offence in section 25A of the 1971 Act to provide that a person commits an offence if he knowingly and for gain facilitates the entry to the United Kingdom, as well as the arrival in the UK, of an individual that they know or reasonably believe to be an asylum-seeker. This amendment ensures that acts committed after an asylum seeker has arrived in the United Kingdom but before they have entered will be covered by the offence.
