The Illegal Migration Act 2023 sought to create a system in which anyone arriving illegally in the UK would not have their asylum claim, human rights claim, or modern slavery referral considered while they are in the UK, but they would instead have been removed either to their home country, subject to a safe returns assessment, or to a safe third country to have their protection claims processed there.
	A small number of provisions of the Illegal Migration Act 2023 were commenced. This Act repeals provisions in the Illegal Migration Act, including the duty to remove and its associated provisions. The Act removes the following provisions from the statute book:
Sections 1 to 6 and Schedule 1;
Sections 7 to 11;
Sections 13 to 15 and Schedule 2;
Sections 16 to 28;
Sections 30 to 51;
Sections 53 to 58; and
Sections 61 and 66.
	Some provisions have been retained either in their current form or with amendment where operational benefit exists. These are:
section 12;
section 29;
section 52;
section 59;
section 60;
section 62;
sections 63 to 65, and
sections 67 to 69.
