Clause 48 was added by way of Government amendment at Report stage in the Commons. It provides for the classification of certain sexual offences as “particularly serious” when determining exclusions from the protection against refoulement, regardless of period of imprisonment. The relevant offences are sexual offences under Schedule 3 of the Sexual Offences Act (SOA) 2003, which are the specified sex offences for which an individual will be subject to notification requirements. The Government’s intention is to “ensure that those who commit sexual offences and are considered to be a danger to the community of the UK are not able to benefit from refugee status.”195 The operational effect of the clause would be to make a relevant individual ineligible for refugee status under the Immigration Rules.196 Those who face exclusion from protection can rebut the presumption that they are a danger to the community.
