Part 2: Asylum Chapter 3: Inadmissibility Section 17: Clarification of basis for support where asylum claim inadmissible
Overview: This section makes consequential amendments to asylum support legislation to align with the provisions relating to inadmissibility (Sections 15 and 16). Where a claimant is declared inadmissible, their entitlement to asylum support will be comparable to that of a failed asylum seeker.
	Subsections 1 and 2 amend section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 ("the 1999 Act") to extend the entitlement to accommodation and support to those whose claims have been declared inadmissible. This brings the entitlement in line with the accommodation and support provided to failed-asylum seekers.
	Subsection 3 amends section 94 of the 1999 Act so that for the purposes of the definitions of "asylum-seeker" and "failed-asylum seeker", reference to a claim being determined or rejected will include when a claim is declared inadmissible under section 80A or 80B of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. However, if a claim is declared inadmissible under section 80B of the 2002 Act but consequently considered, their claim will no longer be considered determined or rejected and they will be entitled to asylum accommodation or support as an asylum-seeker.
	Subsections 4 to 7 amend the relevant sections of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 to the same affect.
