Under the authority of an immigration officer —
a person who may be required to submit to examination under section 70(1), pending his examination and pending a decision to give or refuse him permission to land;
a person to whom permission to land has been refused; or
a prohibited immigrant on any vessel not intending or seeking permission to land,
A person liable to detention or detained under subsection (1) may, with the leave of an immigration officer, be temporarily granted permission to land without being detained or, if detained under that subsection, may be released from detention pending a decision whether to grant him permission under section 64, but this shall not prejudice a later exercise of the power to detain him.
For so long as a person has been temporarily granted permission to land under subsection (2), he shall be deemed not to have landed and shall be subject to such conditions as an immigration officer may determine.
