Finally, Amendment 5 says that the Secretary of State may not lay a statement of changes to the Immigration Rules in accordance with these measures if the statutory cap is exceeded. The statutory cap was brought in by virtue of Section 60 of the Illegal Migration Act and is yet to be set, even though the section is in force. Provision is made in respect of any other statutory cap. In the event of such a statutory cap being exceeded, a Secretary of State must not, in accordance with this amendment, lay a statement of changes.
