Part 6: Border Security Section 74: Penalties relating to airport control areas
Under paragraph 26 to Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act, the Secretary of State can designate 'control areas'; a specific area in a port through which passengers must embark and disembark. Some airlines and port operators fail to take all reasonable steps to ensure that all passengers disembark through immigration control.
	Subsection (1)inserts new sub-paragraph (4) into paragraph 26 of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act. Sub-paragraph (4) refers to Part 1A of Schedule 2 which creates a civil penalty regime for those connected with aircraft or airports who have received a written notice from the Secretary of State that designates control areas for the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers and specifies conditions and restrictions in a control area. The civil penalty regime will apply when those connected with aircraft or airports fail to ensure that passengers embark or disembark in accordance with conditions set by the Secretary of State or for other breaches of conditions or restrictions in a control area.
	Subsection (2) gives effect to Schedule 13.
