§ Mr. Howardasked the Minister of Works how far, when determining the amount of a discretionary rehabilitation allowance and assessing the time normally required for carrying out the work of repair, he makes an allowance either for time required to secure licences and permits or for unavoidable delay in securing necessary labour and materials.
§ Sir S. CrippsI have been asked to reply. No such allowance of time is made. The rehabilitation allowance is based upon the period within which the repairs would probably be carried out under normal conditions, subject to a maximum of two years in the case of agricultural land and six months in the case of developed property.
