Subsections (1) to (3) of section 55 each elaborates and expands on the parameters of existing order/regulation-making powers to prescribe requirements in relation to right to work checks and documents in section 15(3) of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, section 34 of the Immigration Act 2014 and paragraph 5(6)(b) and (c) of Schedule 6 to the Immigration Act 2016. The examples of the way these powers may be exercised include by making provision that specifies/prescribes documents provided to, and generated by, a person in the DVS register established under Part 2 of the Act (a DVS-registered person) and to specify/prescribe steps and checks involving the use of services by such a person. New provisions are also inserted into these order/regulation-making powers that confer powers to specify/prescribe a description of DVS-registered person whose entry in the DVS register includes a supplementary note relating to specified/prescribed services.
