Part 2: Asylum Chapter 5: Priority removal notices Section 20: Priority removal notices
Overview: This section provides for a priority removal notice (PRN) to be served to anyone who is liable for removal or liable for deportation. Factors which may lead to a person being issued with a PRN will be set out in guidance and will include, for example, where a person has previously made a human rights or protection claim. The subject of a PRN will be required to provide a statement, information and/or evidence within the time specified ("the PRN cut-off date") or their reasons for providing evidence after the date.
	Background: The aim of the PRN is to reduce the extent to which people can frustrate removal through sequential or unmeritorious claims, appeals or legal action.
	Subsections 1 and 2 provides for a PRN to be issued to a person who is liable for removal or deportation.
	Subsection 3 defines a PRN. The notice imposes a duty on the claimant to provide a statement setting out their reasons for wishing to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, any grounds on which they should be permitted to do so and any grounds on which they should not be removed or required to leave the United Kingdom. The notice also requires them to provide any information relating to being a victim of slavery or human trafficking as defined by Section 58 and any evidence in support of any reasons, grounds or information. The statement, grounds, information and evidence must be provided before the PRN cut-off date included within the notice.
	Subsection 4 removes the need for a PRN recipient to provide the information mentioned in subsection 3(a) if this has previously been provided to the Secretary of State or any other competent authority.
	Subsections 5, 6 and 7 impose a duty on the PRN recipient, if they have not provided a statement, information or evidence before the PRN cut-off date, to also provide a statement setting out the reasons for not doing so.
	Subsections 8 and 9 define some of the terms used in this section.
