Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 64: Consequential and minor provision
Subsections (1) to (3) confer a power on the Secretary of State, by regulations to make consequential provision for the purposes of the Act. Such provision may include repealing, revoking or otherwise amending primary and secondary legislation.
	Subsection (4) adds the Illegal Migration Act 2023 to the list of enactments in section 61(2) of the UK Borders Act 2007 which are collectively referred to as "the Immigration Acts". Amongst the effects of this provision is to apply to the scheme provided for in the Act the power of immigration officers to use reasonable force when it is necessary in the exercise of a power conferred by the Act (as provided for in section 146(1) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999) and the age assessment provisions in Part 4 of the 2022 Act.
	Subsection (5) repeals paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 5 to the 2022 Act. Paragraph 8(2) in turn prospectively repeals section 35(3) of the 1999 Act. Section 35 of the 1999 Act is about the procedure for the imposition of penalties under sections 31A or 32 of that Act (which may be imposed in circumstances where a person is responsible for failing adequately to secure a goods vehicle against access by clandestine entrants or for carrying clandestine entrants). Section 35(3) sets out the grounds on which a person may object to a penalty: that is, they are not liable to it or it is too high. The repeal of section 35(3) was included in the 2022 Act in error (see letter from the House of Commons Clerk of Legislation to the Speaker dated 9 January 2023), this subsection accordingly repeals paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 5 to the 2022 Act.
