Employment Section 24: Temporary admission, &c.
57.Section 24 provides that where a person is at large in the United Kingdom by virtue of having been granted temporary admission or release from detention under paragraph 21(1) of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971, he is to be treated for the purpose of the employer's liability to a penalty in section 15 or the commission of an offence in section 21 as if the person had been granted leave to enter the United Kingdom and any restriction as to employment shall be treated as a condition of leave. The practical effect of this is that an employer is not liable to a penalty under section 15 and commits no offence under section 21 if he employs someone who does not have leave to enter or remain, but has been granted temporary admission or release together with permission to take employment under paragraph 21(1) of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971.
