UNABLE TO SECURE THE EXECUTION OF THOSE WORKS BY AGREEMENT,
THEMSELVES EXECUTE THOSE WORKS: B>PROVIDED THAT - SECT 16
Provisions as to factory premises occupied under short leases.

16.(1) The provisions of this section shall have effect where the
occupier of factory premises who is not the owner of the whole of
the premises incurs expenses in executing works in pursuance of a
notice served by or on him under the preceding provisions of this
Part of this Act, being a notice which or, as the case may be, a
copy of which, has been duly served on all the persons on whom
the occupier is required to serve it by the said provisions, and
not being a notice cancelled on appeal.

(2) On the termination, within the period of ten years immediately
following the date of the completion of the works, of any tenancy
of the whole or any part of the premises, being a tenancy in
existence at that date, the interest expectant on the termination of
the tenancy shall, unless it is otherwise agreed in connection with
the works or after the completion thereof, be charged in favour of
the outgoing tenant with a sum which bears to the net ascertained
cost of the works, the proportion which so much of the said period
as is unexpired at the termination of the tenancy bears to the
whole of the period.

(3) In this section, the expression "the net ascertained cost of
the works," means such sum as may within the six months next
following the completion of the works, be agreed by all persons
entitled to interests which may become subject to such a charge as
aforesaid, or as may be decided in proceedings commenced within the
said six months, to be the amount of the reasonable expenses
incurred in executing the works, as reduced by any grant out of
[moneys provided by the Parliament of the United Kingdom] towards
those expenses:

Provided that, in relation to a tenancy not extending to the whole
of the premises, the said expression shall be construed as if for
the reference to the amount of the said expenses reduced as
aforesaid there were substituted a reference to an amount bearing to
that amount (as so reduced) the same proportion that the annual
value, at the date of the completion of the works, of the premises
comprised in the tenancy bears to the annual value at that date of
the whole of the premises.

Where the air-raid shelter which has been provided in pursuance of
the notice provides a greater degree of protection or accommodation
than is contemplated by the code, no greater expense shall be
deemed for the purposes of this sub-section to have been reasonably
incurred in executing the works for the purpose of providing the
shelter than would have been so incurred if that greater degree of
protection or accommodation had not been provided.

(4) Any charge created by this section on any interest in factory
premises shall have priority over all other incumbrances on that
interest, except charges created or arising under any enactment
authorising a charge for the recovery of expenses incurred by a
[district council] and charges created under any enactment authorising
advances of public money; and the person in whose favour the charge
is created shall, for the purpose of enforcing it, have the same
powers and remedies as he would have if he were a mortgagee by
deed having powers of sale and lease, and of appointing a receiver.

(5) The provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to
any tenancy notwithstanding any term thereof requiring the tenant to
pay outgoings or any similar term.

(6) Where the occupier of factory premises has become liable to pay
any sums to the [district council] under an agreement for the
provision by that authority of a public air-raid shelter for the
use, in whole or in part, of persons working or living in the
premises, sub-sections (2) to (5) of this section shall apply as if
those sums were expenses incurred in executing works in pursuance of
a notice duly served by the occupier under the preceding provisions
of this Part of this Act (not being a notice cancelled on appeal),
and as if the date of the conclusion of the agreement were the
date of the completion of the works.

THIS PART OF THIS ACT SHALL APPLY ONLY IN RELATION TO AREAS

Special provisions as to commercial buildings when owner does not
occupy the whole building.

17.(1) Where works are, by virtue of this Part of this Act,
executed by the owner of a commercial building in any part thereof
of which he is not the occupier, the occupier of that part of the
building shall be entitled to recover from the owner compensation
for any damage he has sustained by reason of any interference with
his use of that part of the building during the execution of the
works.

(2) Where the usefulness of any part of a commercial building is
impaired by reason of the execution therein of any works by virtue
of this Part of this Act by the owner of the building, then,
unless it is otherwise agreed in connection with, or after, the
provision of the shelter, the rent payable under every lease derived
from the estate or interest of the owner, being a lease in
existence at the date of the completion of the works and comprising
the part of the building the usefulness of which is so impaired,
shall be decreased to the extent and for the period specified in
the subsequent provisions of this section.

(3) The said decrease shall be at an annual rate equal to the
diminution of the annual value of the part of the building
ascribable to the impairment, ascertained as at the date of the
completion of the works.

(4) Where a notice has been served under the preceding provisions
of this Part of this Act by or on the owner of a commercial
building who is not the occupier of the whole of the building and
the owner has incurred expenses in providing shelter of the approved
standard in pursuance of the notice, then, unless the notice has
been cancelled on appeal, the rent payable under every lease derived
from his estate or interest (being a lease in existence at the
date of the completion of the works) shall, unless it is otherwise
agreed in connection with, or after, the provision of the shelter,
be increased to the extent and for the period specified in the
subsequent provisions of this section:

Provided that no increase shall be payable by any person unless the
owner has served the notice, or, as the case may be, a copy
thereof, on all the persons on whom he is required to serve it by
the preceding provisions of this Part of this Act within the time
limited by those provisions.

(5) The said increase shall be at the annual rate of the total of
the two following amounts, that is to say:

(a)one-tenth of the expenses of the owner under the notice;

(b)any diminution of the annual value of any part of the building
ascribable to an impairment of the usefulness thereof by reason of
the execution of the works, ascertained as at the date of the
completion of the works:

Provided that, in the case of a lease of part of a commercial
building, the increase shall be calculated by reference not to the
whole of the said total but to an amount bearing thereto the same
proportion as the annual value of the part of the building at the
date of the completion of the works bears to the annual value of
the whole building at that date.

(6) The said increase shall operate in relation to a lease
notwithstanding that the rent payable thereunder is decreased under
the provisions of sub-section (2) of this section, and any such
increase and any such decrease shall be set off against each other
accordingly.

(7) The rent on which any such increase or decrease as aforesaid
operates is all rent payable under the lease in question in respect
of any rent period beginning after the date of the completion of
the works:

Provided that no increase or decrease shall operate in respect of
more than ten years.

In this sub-section the expression "rent period" means the quarter
or other period in respect of which an instalment of rent becomes
payable under the lease in question.

(8) In this section the expression "expenses" in relation to a
notice means the expenses reasonably incurred by the owner in
providing shelter of the approved standard in pursuance of the
notice together with

(a)the amount of any compensation properly paid by the owner under
sub-section (1) of this section; and

(b)where the owner is the occupier of any part of the building in
which works were executed for the purpose of providing the shelter,
the amount of compensation which he would have been entitled to
recover under that sub-section from the owner of the building if he
himself had not been the owner thereof, and the works had been
done by the owner by virtue of the provisions of this Part of
this Act.

Where the air-raid shelter which has been provided in pursuance of
the notice provides a greater degree of protection or accommodation
than is contemplated by the code, no greater expense shall be
deemed for the purposes of this sub-section to have been reasonably
incurred in executing the works for the purpose of providing the
shelter than would have been so incurred if that greater degree of
protection or accommodation had not been provided.

(9) Notwithstanding anything in this section, if any lessee proves
that he or his predecessor in title, as the case may be, was not
a person on whom the notice or a copy of the notice in question
was required to be served by the preceding provisions of this Act
and had no reasonable opportunity of appealing to the Ministry
against the notice and that by reason of his or his said
predecessor's inability to appeal he has suffered damage, such
reduction shall be made in the amount of the increase of the rent
payable under his lease as may be just.

(10) A surety for the payment of any rent which is increased under
this section shall not be discharged by reason of the increase but
shall not be liable in respect of the increase.

(11) Where an owner claims or could have claimed an increase of
rent under this section in respect of any expenses, he shall not
be entitled to claim those expenses or any part thereof under any
term of a lease requiring the tenant to pay outgoings or any
similar term.

(12) Sub-sections (4), (5), (7), (10) and (11) of this section
shall apply in relation to any sums for which the owner of a
commercial building becomes liable to a [district council] under an
agreement for the provision of a public air-raid shelter for the
use, in whole or in part, of persons working or living in the
building, as if

(a)the owner had provided shelter of the approved standard in
pursuance of a notice duly served by him under the preceding
provisions of this Part of this Act (not being a notice cancelled
on appeal) and the said sums were expenses under that notice; and

(b)the date of the conclusion of the agreement were the date of
the completion of the works.

Provisions as to railway undertakings.

34.(1) So much of the preceding provisions of this Part of this
Act as relates to measures of public utility undertakers to secure
the due functioning of their undertaking in the event of hostile
attack shall not apply in relation to any railway undertaking, but
the following provisions of this section shall have effect in
relation to any railway undertaking specified in that behalf in an
order of the appropriate department.

(2) The undertakers carrying on any such undertaking may be required
by notice in writing from the appropriate department to make a
report stating what measures they have taken or are taking or
proposing to take as respects

(a)the execution of works or the provision of accommodation, plant,
materials or equipment (including stocks of stores) with a view to
providing or maintaining essential railway services in the event of
hostile attack;

(b)the provision for persons employed by them on duties in
connection with essential railway services of such special protection
or equipment as may be necessary to enable those essential services
to be maintained during air-raids,

(3) There may be paid out of [moneys provided by the Parliament of
the United Kingdom] to any such undertakers grants not exceeding
such expenses, incurred on such measures (being measures with respect
to the matters mentioned in sub-section (2) of this section), as
the appropriate department, acting in accordance with general
directions of the Ministry of Finance, may approve for the purposes
of this sub-section.35.(1) If on the application of any public
utility undertakers who carry on a dock or harbour undertaking the
appropriate department so order, the preceding provisions of this
Part of this Act relating to the provision of air-raid shelter for
persons employed by public utility undertakers shall apply in
relation to the undertakers carrying on the undertaking as if all
persons likely to be found during air-raids in the dock or harbour,
or any such part thereof as may be specified in the order, were
persons employed by the undertakers; and where any such order is
made

(a)the order may contain such incidental and consequential provisions
as the appropriate department thinks proper, including provisions
authorising the undertakers, notwithstanding anything in any contract
or in any enactment or order relating to them, to do such of the
following things as may be specified in the order, that is to say

(i)to make such increases in their charges as may be specified in
the order;

(ii)to recover from such persons or classes of persons using the
dock or harbour as may be specified in the order such sums as may
be determined by or under the order;

<(iii)to borrow such money on such terms as to security and otherwise as may be specified in the order;

(b)the provisions of Part II of this Act relating to the provision
of air-raid shelter shall not apply in relation to any factories or
commercial buildings situate in the dock or harbour or, as the case
may be, in the part thereof specified in the order; and

(c)no grant shall be payable under Part II of this Act in respect
of any expenses incurred in providing or securing the provision of
air-raid shelter in the dock or harbour, or, as the case may be,
in the part thereof specified in the order.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of the provisions of this
Part of this Act relating to measures for securing the due
functioning of an undertaking in the event of hostile attack, the
measures which may be specified in a notice served by the Ministry
under this Part of this Act may, in the case of undertakers
carrying on a dock or harbour undertaking, include measures designed
to secure that the undertaking is capable of providing services
which would not, apart from hostile attack or the danger thereof,
be required to be provided by that undertaking; and, in relation to
any such measures the provisions of this Part of this Act relating
to grants shall have effect as if for the reference to one-half of
the approved expenses there were substituted a reference to
seventeen-twentieths thereof.

(3) There may be paid out of [moneys provided by the Parliament of
the United Kingdom] towards approved expenses incurred, whether before
or after the commencement of this Act, by public utility undertakers
who carry on a dock or harbour undertaking in taking measures
designed to provide facilities, in the event of hostile attack, for
the collection of casualties occurring in the dock or harbour or on
land adjacent thereto and the treatment thereof in first-aid posts,
grants not exceeding one-half of those expenses.

In this sub-section the expression "approved expenses" means such
expenses of a capital nature, incurred on such measures, as the
Ministry acting in accordance with general directions of the Ministry
of Finance, may approve for the purposes of this sub-section.

(4) In this section the expressions "dock" and "harbour" mean, in
relation to public utility undertakers carrying on a dock or harbour
undertaking, the area over which they exercise any control under any
enactment or order relating to the undertaking.

section or of a warrant issued thereunder is admitted into a
