405: Regulations made under Immigration Act 1987 revoked
or “Old immigration rules from 1987 Act no longer apply”

You could also call this:

“Changes to other laws and removal of outdated acts to align with the new Immigration Act”

When you look at Schedule 3, you’ll see a list of laws that have been changed. These changes were made to make sure the laws work well with this new Immigration Act.

There are also some rules and orders that have been changed. You can find these in Schedule 4. These changes were also made to fit with the new Immigration Act.

Two laws have been completely removed. These are the Air Facilitation Act 1993 and the Air Facilitation (Domestic Passengers and Cargo) Act 1994. This means these laws no longer exist and can’t be used anymore.
