HC Deb 28 February 1956 vol 549 cc96-7W
17. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of the fact that Circular No. 39/55, relating to the payments to landlords under Section 4 (2) (c) of the Requisitioned Houses and Housing (Amendment) Act, 1955, for loss of vacant possession upon accepting licensees as statutory tenants, was not issued until several months after the Act came into force, and that consequently effective action cannot be taken to complete all such arrangements with landlords by 31st March, he will extend by six months from such date the time for full reimbursement to local authorities of payments they incur on requisitioned premises.

Mr. Sandys

I have no power to vary the financial provisions of the Act.
