An application for a house improvement grant has been received from the person named and a grant of £600 was allocated. Notification of completion of work has been received. An inspection with a view to payment of a grant, if in order, will be carried out as soon as possible. Any delay in arranging an inspection in this case has been due to the large volume of applications being processed by my Department.

The person named applied to my Department for a house improvement grant. The work has been inspected and payment of a water and sewerage grant and the balance of a reconstruction grant are in order. The grants will be paid shortly.
The delay in dealing with this case is due to the large number of grant applications being processed in the Department.
