(1)The Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit in any case, contribute towards the expense incurred by a local housing authority—
(a)in giving assistance by way of reinstatement grant,
(b)in giving assistance by way of repurchase of a dwelling which is a defective dwelling by virtue of a designation under section 528 (designation by Secretary of State), or
(c)in making payments under section 549 (making up of consideration on disposal in pursuance of right of pre-emption, &c.) or section 550 (making up of compulsory purchase compensation).
(2)The contributions shall be annual payments—
(a)in respect of a period of 20 years beginning with the financial year in which, as the case may be, the work in respect of which the grant was payable was completed, the acquisition of the interest concerned was completed or the payment was made, and
(b)of a sum equal to the relevant percentage of the annual loan charges referable to the amount of the expense incurred.
(3)The relevant percentage is—
(a)90 per cent. in the case of reinstatement grant.
(b)75 per cent. in the case of repurchase or a payment under section 549 or 550 where there has at any time been a disposal of a relevant interest in the defective dwelling by the local housing authority or a predecessor of that authority, and
(c)100 per cent. in the case of repurchase or a payment under those sections not within paragraph (b);
or such other percentage as, in any of those cases, may be provided by order under section 570.
(4)The amount of expense incurred is—
(a)in the case of reinstatement grant, the amount of the grant,
(b)in the case of repurchase, the price paid for the acquisition, together with any amount reimbursed under section 552 (incidental expenses), less the value of the interest at the relevant time determined in accordance with paragraph 8 of Schedule 20 (value for purposes of repurchase) but without the assumption required by paragraph 8(1)(a) (assumption that dwelling is defect free),
(c)in the case of a payment under section 549 or 550, the amount of the payment.
(5)The annual loan charges referable to the amount of the expense incurred means the annual sum which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, would fall to be provided by a local housing authority for the payment of interest on, and the repayment of, a loan of that amount repayable over a period of 20 years.
(6)Payment of contributions under this section is subject to the making of a claim in such form, and containing such particulars, as the Secretary of State may determine; and the contributions are payable at such times, in such manner and subject to such conditions, as to records, certificates, audit or otherwise, as the Secretary of State may, with the agreement of the Treasury, determine.
