Review
Before the end of each review period, the Secretary of State undertakes to review all of the relevant Immigration Rules including any Relevant Rule amended or added by these changes. The Secretary of State will set out the conclusions of the review in a report and publish the report.
3
The report must in particular: a) consider each of the Relevant Rules and whether or not each Relevant Rule achieves
its objectives and is still appropriate; and b) assess whether those objectives remain appropriate and, if so, the extent to which they
could be achieved with a system that imposes less regulation.
“Review period” means: a) the period of five years beginning on 6 April 2012, and b) each successive period of five years.
If a report under this provision is published before the last day of the review period to which it relates, the following review period is to begin with the day on which that report is published.
“Relevant Rule” means an Immigration Rule which imposes a net burden (or cost) on business or civil society organisations.

PRESENTED TO PARLIAMENT ON 10 DECEMBER 2013 (HC 901)
1. This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Home Office and is laid before Parliament by Command of Her Majesty.
2. Purpose of the Instrument
2.1. To change the Immigration Rules for TB screening incorporating compulsory screening for active pulmonary tuberculosis for migrants coming to the UK for over six months from additional specified countries.
3. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments or the Select Committee on Statutory Instruments
3.1. This Statement amends the previous Statement of Changes HC 803 in relation to compulsory screening for active pulmonary tuberculosis of migrants coming to the UK for more than six months from specified countries. This Statement adds Algeria, Angola, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Benin, Botswana, Brunei Darussalam, Burundi, China (all categories), Cape Verdi, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Congo Democratic Republic of, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Georgia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Hong Kong (all categories), Kazakhstan, Kiribati, Korea, Korea Democratic Republic of, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Macau (all categories), Madagascar, Mali, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Sao Tome & Principe, Senegal, Solomon Islands, Tajikistan, Timor Leste, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Vanuatu to the specified countries.
3.2 These changes reflect a Government commitment to introduce pre-entry screening for tuberculosis in 82 countries. The relevant Written Ministerial Statement (WMS) of the then Minister of State for Immigration, Damian Green, of 21 May 2012 is at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/may/42-tb-test.
3.3 Operationally, we are ensuring alignment with Five Country Conference (FCC) partners who have been supporting the UK in implementing this programme and also the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) who are providing screening facilities in some countries.
3.4 Following the previous Statement of Changes referred to above, the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee was advised of the scope of the project and the planned frequency of further changes.
4. Legislative Context
4.1. The Immigration Rules, as laid before Parliament by the Home Secretary, constitute a statement of practice to be followed in the administration of the Immigration Act 1971 for regulating entry into, and the stay of persons in, the United Kingdom.
4.2. This Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules will be incorporated into a consolidated version of the Immigration Rules, which can be found under the ‘Policy and Law’ page at www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk where there are also copies of all the Statements of Changes in Immigration Rules issued since May 2003.
4.3. The changes effected by this Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules will take effect on 31st December 2013.
5. Territorial Extent and Application
5.1. This instrument applies to all of the United Kingdom.
6. European Convention on Human Rights
6.1. As this Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules is subject to a negative resolution procedure and does not amend primary legislation, no statement is required.
7. Policy Background
7.1. The UK has had a longstanding policy of screening new entrants from high incidence tuberculosis countries intending to remain for over six months. Screening has been conducted at some ports of entry and, since October 2005, pre-entry in some high incidence tuberculosis countries. On 21 May 2012 the Government announced its intention to expand upon the pre-entry screening programme to allow for more extensive screening. Entry clearance applicants intending to come to the UK for over six months from countries where pre-entry screening is available will be required to present a certificate from a designated screening provider confirming that screening has been conducted and that the applicant has been diagnosed as free from active pulmonary tuberculosis. Where tuberculosis is detected, the applicant will be required to undertake treatment and further screening before any entry clearance application can be made. This Statement increases the number of countries in which pre-entry screening is required and increases the number of clinics authorised to carry out this screening.
8. Consultation
8.1. As the effect of these changes is to better reflect stated policy intentions these changes were not the subject of a formal consultation.
9. Guidance 9.1. Where necessary guidance will be updated and placed on the Home Office website and regional Foreign and Commonwealth Office websites.
10. Impact
10.1. These changes covered in this Statement are minor and expected to be of limited impact, such that an impact assessment is unnecessary.
11. Regulating small business
11.1. This Statement of Changes has no impact on small businesses.
12. Monitoring and review
12.1. The review clauses at the beginning of this Statement of Changes require the Secretary of State to review the operation and effect of all of the relevant Immigration Rules, including any Rules amended or added by the changes in this Statement, and lay a report before Parliament within five years of 6 April 2012, and within every five years after that. Following each review the Secretary of State will decide whether the relevant Immigration Rules should remain as they are, be revoked or be amended. A further Statement of Changes would be needed to revoke or amend the relevant Rules.
13. Contact
13.1. Queries specifically regarding this Statement of Changes only should be addressed to Richard Postill at the Home Office on 020 7035 4057 or Richard.Postill@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
13.2. Other queries not related to this Statement of Changes, such as queries relating to individual cases, should be addressed as per the Contact page on the Home Office website at www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/contact/.
13.3. Queries from applicants about their applications should NOT be addressed to the contacts above. Such queries should be addressed as directed by the Home Office website www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/contact/.
