This section applies in relation to a person who would otherwise be an ineligible person for the purposes of sections 32 to 35 (see section 31).

The Secretary of State may determine that the person is not to be an “ineligible person” for the purposes of sections 32 to 35 if the Secretary of State considers that the application of those sections in relation to the person would contravene the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Human Rights Convention.
