8Grants for extension or alteration of existing hotels
(1)Subject to the provisions of this Act, a person who has incurred eligible expenditure in extending or altering an existing hotel in Great Britain shall, if the extension or alteration consists of or includes the provision of not less than five additional letting bedrooms, be entitled to receive from the appropriate Tourist Board, after the completion of the extension or alteration, a grant in respect of the eligible expenditure which he has so incurred.
(2)No grant shall be payable under this section unless the appropriate Tourist Board is satisfied that on the completion of the extension or alteration the hotel in question complies, or as from its opening thereafter will comply, with the requirements specified in section 7(2) of this Act.
(3)Where the extension or alteration of a hotel includes, but is not confined to, the provision of letting bedrooms and any such bedroom is provided by the alteration (as distinct from the extension) of existing accommodation in the hotel, no grant shall be payable under this section, unless the appropriate Tourist Board in any case otherwise determines, in respect of expenditure which is not attributable to the provision of the bedrooms and any bathroom or bathrooms appearing to the Board to be provided in association with the bedrooms.
(4)The expenditure eligible for grant under this section is approved capital expenditure on constructional work and on the purchase and installation of fixed equipment.
