Reading s17I(1) with s17I(2)(b) implies by necessary implication that mens rea is displaced and the offence is one of strict liability; the offence relates to social concern (immigration control) and strict liability promotes statutory objects by encouraging employer vigilance, so the presumption is displaced.
