Explanatory Note

These regulations amend the form of recognizance

under section 36(1) of the Immigration Ordinance by providing

that, where a person enters into the recognizance, he is to

report, in the case of a police recognizance, to the duty

officer at a specified police station on the days and

between the hours specified in the recognizance and, in

the case of an Immigration Department recognizance, to the

duty officer of the Department's Investigation Division,

also on the days and between the hours specified in the

recognizance.

The regulations also provide for a new form of

recognizance, to be taken before a magistrate, to be used

where a person may become liable to be detained under

section 32(2) of the Immigration Ordinance pending removal.
