293C: Departmental annual report to record exercise of power to issue warrant to enter and search relating to deportation

You could also call this:

"Yearly report on deportation search warrants"

Illustration for Immigration Act 2009

The chief executive has to include some information in a yearly report. You want to know what information this is. It is about warrants to enter and search places related to deportation. The report must say how many applications were made for these warrants. It must also say how many were approved, how many were declined, and why. The report must include details about the people involved in these applications, such as their nationality, gender, and age range, as stated in section 43 of the Public Finance Act 1989.
