In accordance with the special dispensation from prior inspection announced last February, notification issued to the persons named authorising them to proceed with the work in respect of which their application was made subject to the conditions of the scheme (other than the prior inspection requirement) applicable when they applied. It was specifically pointed out in that notification that the windows and doors replaced had to be kept for examination by the Department's inspector and that otherwise a grant would not be paid. As the applicant did not comply with this requirement this application had to be rejected.
