This section applies in relation to premises in which accommodation has been provided under section 95 or 98 for a supported person.
If, on an application made by a person authorised in writing by the Secretary of State, a justice of the peace is satisfied that there is reason to believe that—
the supported person or any dependants of his for whom the accommodation is provided is not resident in it,
the accommodation is being used for any purpose other than the accommodation of the asylum-seeker or any dependant of his, or
any person other than the supported person and his dependants (if any) is residing in the accommodation,
he may grant a warrant to enter the premises to the person making the application.
A warrant granted under subsection (2) may be executed—
at any reasonable time;
using reasonable force.
In the application of subsection (2) to Scotland, read the reference to a justice of the peace as a reference to the sheriff or a justice of the peace.
