The Immigration Act received Royal Assent in May. Much has already been implemented. This includes new powers to revoke driving licences from illegal migrants, new duties on Registrars to report sham marriages and new Article 8 provisions that will require the Courts to give due weight to the public interest when deciding deportation and immigration cases raising the right to respect for private and family life. Measures which place restrictions on illegal immigrants accessing rented housing will go live in the West Midlands on 1st December.
