Part 3: Enforcement Section 46: Powers in connection with examination, detention and removal
Subsection (2) amends paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act so that it is clear that examination by an immigration officer can happen where a person has leave, with regard to whether that leave should or should not be curtailed.
	Subsection (3) inserts new paragraph 15A into Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act which gives immigration officers who are already lawfully on premises (new sub-paragraph (1)) a power to search for documents that relate to a person liable to detention and that will assist in removing them from the UK (new sub-paragraph (2)). Exercise of this power is restricted to circumstances in which there are reasonable grounds for believing sub-paragraph (2) applies and where it is necessary to obtain the documents.
	Sub-paragraphs (4) to (10) of the new paragraph 15A provides immigration officers with a power to seize and retain relevant documents (including electronic documents) which may be evidence of grounds for curtailing a person's leave. Documents that benefit from legal privilege, such as solicitor-client correspondence, are excluded (sub-paragraph (8)). Original documents will not be retained if a photograph or copy is sufficient for the purpose of removing a person from the UK (sub-paragraph (10)).
	Subsections (4) and (5) amend paragraphs 25A and 25B of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act to clarify that these search powers also extend to electronic documents.
