This section applies where any visa penalty provision made pursuant to section 72 is in force in relation to a country.
The Secretary of State must, before the end of each relevant period—
review the extent to which the country’s cooperation in relation to returns has improved, and
in light of that review, determine whether it is appropriate to amend the visa penalty provision.
If at any time the Secretary of State is no longer of the opinion mentioned in section 72(1), the Secretary of State must as soon as practicable revoke the visa penalty provision.
Each of the following is a relevant period—
the period of 2 months beginning with the day on which the visa penalty provision came into force;
each subsequent period of 2 months.
In this section—
“visa penalty provision” has the same meaning as in section 70;
“cooperation in relation to returns” means cooperation as mentioned in section 72(1)(a).
