Police powers to search aeroplanes

 

(1)    

If the Secretary of State has reason to believe that an aircraft that is in

 

flight over the United Kingdom is or has recently been or may be

 

involved in an act of unlawful rendition then he or she may require the

 

aircraft to land at a suitable aerodrome.

 

(2)    

If an aircraft is required to land in accordance with subsection (1), a

 

responsible person must, as soon as practicable after the aircraft has

 

landed, enter and search the aircraft.

 

(3)    

The Secretary of State or a responsible person must enter and search an

 

aircraft if he or she has reason to believe that—

 

(a)    

an aircraft in an aerodrome is or has recently been or may be

 

involved in an act of unlawful rendition; or

 

(b)    

in respect of an aircraft in an aerodrome, incomplete or incorrect

Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 (c. 13) has been supplied.

For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), a search of an aircraft is to be

 

carried out to determine if—

 

(a)    

the aircraft has recently been, or may be involved in an act of

 

unlawful rendition;

 

(b)    

a criminal offence has been committed; or

 

(c)    

allowing the aircraft to continue on its journey could place the

 

United Kingdom in breach of its obligations under the European

 

Convention on Human Rights,

 

    

but these powers may only be exercised when it is not reasonably

 

practicable to apply for a warrant of entry in accordance with section 8 of

 

the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c. 60).

 

(5)    

A person who carries out a search under this section may remove any

 

items from the aircraft if it may be evidence of any of the matters set out

 

in subsection (4).

formal lawful extradition or deportation procedures, involving the

 

forcible transportation of a person to a territory where he or she may be

 

subjected to torture and inhuman and degrading treatment;
