If the SSHD has issued a visa in error, The Immigration Act 1971 gives the SSHD an implied power to correct that error if it is appropriate to do so.

Additionally, the Immigration Rules provide for a person's permission to be cancelled where they fail to comply with the conditions attached to their visa or commit Criminal offences.
