HC Deb 05 December 1978 vol 959 cc633-4W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the period between a houseowner receiving an improvement grant and being free to sell the grant-aided property without penalty.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown:

Five years commencing with the date on which the house first becomes fit for occupation after completion of the improvement works, provided that the local authority has chosen to apply the condition that the house must either be occupied by the applicant or a member of his family or let or kept available for letting.
