Part 2: Accommodation Centres

A residence condition may include a requirement to reside at an accommodation centre.

In subsection (1) "residence condition" means a condition imposed under Schedule 10 to the Immigration Act 2016.

Where a person is required to reside in an accommodation centre by virtue of subsection (1) the Secretary of State must arrange for the provision of accommodation for the person in an accommodation centre.

But if the person is required to leave an accommodation centre by virtue of section 26 or 30 he shall be treated as having broken the residence condition referred to in subsection (1).

The Secretary of State may provide support under section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (persons subject to entrance control) (including that section as amended by section 49 of this Act) by arranging for the provision of accommodation in an accommodation centre.
