It compels landlords to check whether tenants are in the UK illegally, with those failing to do so facing large fines.

Banks will have to check immigrants' legal status before offering accounts.

Some temporary migrants - such as students - will pay a £200-a-year levy towards the cost of NHS services.

And registrars will have to inform the Home Office of planned weddings between and UK citizens those from outside Europe, to cut down on "sham" marriages.

Housing groups are concerned about the onus on landlords to check tenants' status, and the British Medical Association warns that hospitals face a "bureaucratic nightmare" in levying the charges for NHS services.
