101. (1) The Boards, the Immigration Appeals Tribunal or any immigration officer, constable or other person lawfully acting in the execution of this Law may —
put any question to any person, being a question reasonably required in connection with the proper discharge of their, its or his functions under this Law; and
require any person to produce for inspection any licence, certificate, payroll and other documents relating to gainful employment, permit, work permit identification card or other document which he may have in his possession or under his control, being a document of which the inspection is reasonably required in connection with the proper discharge of such function as aforesaid.
A person who fails without lawful excuse (the proof of which shall be upon him) to answer fully and truthfully to the best of his knowledge and belief any such question, or to produce for inspection any such document, does, without prejudice to section 104, commit an offence.
Any power to require the production of a document for inspection shall be construed as including a power to take copies of such document and to retain such document for a reasonable time for such purpose.
