	extending existing criminal offences under the Immigration Act 1971 (the 1971 Act) regarding deception, facilitation and the making of false statements;
	extending existing powers to place residence conditions on temporary admission;
	extending the powers to fingerprint to, for example: people who are to be removed or deported; some inadequately documented passengers; and persons arrested under Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act; and
	providing a clear statutory basis for excluding, in compliance with the United Kingdom’s international obligations, certain persons who appear on a European Union or United Nations travel ban.
