For these purposes, “person subject to immigration control” has the meaning given by section 13(2) of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 (c. 49) (see sections 160A(3) and 185(2) of the Housing Act 1996). That provision defines “person subject to immigration control” as a person who under the Immigration Act 1971 (c. 77) requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom (whether or not such leave has been given).
