Power of local authority to make allowances to certain persons displaced. |
36.—A local authority may pay to any person displaced from any dwelling-house or other building to which a clearance order, a demolition order, or a closing order applies, or which has been purchased by them under Part II of this Act as being comprised in a clearance area, or under Part III of this Act, as being incapable of being rendered fit for human habitation, such reasonable allowance as they think fit towards his expenses in removing; and to any person carrying on any trade or business in any such dwelling-house or other building they may with the consent of the Minister pay also such reasonable allowance as they think fit towards the loss which, in their opinion, he will sustain by reason of the disturbance of his trade or business consequent on his having to quit the house or building and in estimating that loss they shall have regard to the period for which the premises occupied by him might reasonably have been expected to be available for the purpose of his trade or business and the availability of other premises suitable for that purpose. |
