House Purchase and Housing Acts, 1958 and 1959
Improvement Grants—Section 20 of the Housing Act, 1949, as
modified by Section 16 of the Housing Repairs and Rents Act, 1954,
empowering local authorities to make grants to private owners for
improvements and conversions of sums up to £400 or half the cost,
whichever is the less, where the dwellings would provide satisfactory
accommodation for more than 15 years, has now been
replaced by Section 30 of the Housing (Financial Provisions) Act,
1958. These grants are now known as discretionary grants.
Section 4 of the House Purchase and Housing Act, 1959,
introduced a system of grants known as standard grants which, if
certain conditions are fulfilled, can be claimed as a right. This
grant, generally of a maximum of £155, provides for the installation
of five basic amenities, viz.:—
(1) a fixed bath or shower in a bathroom £25;
(2) a wash-hand basin £5;
(3) a water closet in or contiguous to the dwelling £40;
(4) a hot water supply £75; and
(5) facilities for storing food £10.
