Introductory
84. Under sections 3 and 4 of the Immigration Act 1971 an Immigration
Officer, when admitting to the United Kingdom a person subject to control
under that Act, may give leave to enter for a limited period and, if he does.
may impose conditions restricting employment or occupation in the United Kingdom or requiring the person to register with the police. He may also
require him to report to the appropriate Medical Officer of Environmental
Health. Under section 24 of the Act it is an offence knowingly to remain
beyond the time limit or to fail to comply with such a condition or require-

85. Under section 3(3) of the Act a limited leave to enter or remain in
the United Kingdom may be varied by extending or restricting its duration,
by adding, varying or revoking conditions or by removing the time limit (whereupon any conditions attached to the leave cease to apply). The main
purpose of this Part of the rules is to set out, in relation to the chief
categories concerned, the principles on which leave to enter or remain wi

remain will be given to a child born in the United Kingdom who has not
obtained leave to enter. In the following paragraphs "leave to enter"
includes leave to remain.
