Section 4 Local authorities’ contributions to council of receiving district.C1

Where the council of a F1 . . . F2district or F3London borough are satisfied that the provision of accommodation by any town development within the meaning of this Act will relieve congestion or over-population in their area, they may, in pursuance of undertakings in that behalf given by them with the approval of the Minister, make contributions to the council of a receiving district towards expenses incurred or to be incurred by them in relation to the development.

An authority, when giving an undertaking under this section, may lay down, as conditions to which payment of the contributions undertaken to be made is to be subject, such conditions as it may appear to that authority to be expedient to impose for securing the intended relief from congestion or over-population.
