At Committee stage in the Commons, the Government added clause 43.

Conclusion
At Committee stage in the Commons, the Government added clause 43. This introduces an extension of the existing conditions that may be applied to any grant of limited leave to enter or remain in the UK under section 3(1) (c) of the Immigration Act 1971. This covers persons not liable to detention. The new conditions include electronic monitoring, requirements to be at certain places at certain times, requirements to remain in certain places, prohibitions on being in certain areas, and any “such other conditions as the Secretary of State thinks fit.”184 The Government’s rationale was explained by the Minister in Public Bill Committee proceedings: Where a person does not qualify for asylum or protection under the refugee convention but cannot be removed from the UK because of our obligations under domestic and international law, they are granted permission to stay. Irrespective of the threat posed by the person, our legislation prevents us from imposing the same conditions that they may have been subjected to while on immigration bail. The new clause will end that disparity in the powers available to protect the public from the particular migrant who poses a threat. It also makes crystal clear the conditions that may be imposed when a person is subject to immigration bail.185
