  The majority of MPs voted to create criminal offences of renting a home, driving, and working, while disqualified from doing so due to immigration status; and for other measures in the Immigration Bill.
  
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted in favour of the Immigration Bill[1]. 
  
  The Bill:
  
  * Makes it an offence to let private residential premises to adults disqualified from renting as a result of their immigration status.
  
  * Introduces new powers for landlords to evict illegal migrants from private rented accommodation. 
  
  * Creates a new offence of driving a vehicle on a road or other public place when the driver of the vehicle is not lawfully in the UK
  
  * Makes it a criminal offence for a person subject to immigration control to work if they have not been granted leave to enter or remain, have overstayed that leave, or are in breach of a condition on that leave that prohibits work. 
  
  
  * Requires banks to check the immigration status of current account holders and to, in the majority of cases, facilitate the closure of accounts held by illegal migrants.
  
  * Amends the offence of employing an illegal worker, set out in [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006 Section 21 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006] to make the offence easier to prove. The change makes it an offence to employ someone ineligible to work on immigration grounds if an employer has a âreasonable cause to believeâ the employee is ineligible rather than âknowing' they have an immigration status which makes them ineligible.
  
  
  * Establishes a Director of Labour Market Enforcement responsible for preparing the strategy for enforcing laws on gang-masters, the national minimum wage and on who can run employment agencies. 
  
  
  * Makes it a requirement for a license to sell alcohol that the licensee has the right to work in the UK.
  
  * Gives powers to Police Constables, Immigration Officers, and others, to search for a driving licence within premises occupied by someone believed to be not lawfully resident for a driving licence.
  
  
  
  The motion supported by the majority of MPs taking part in this vote was:
  
  :That the Bill be now read a Third time.
  
  The result of the vote meant the Bill could continue its path to becoming law.
