(a) and (b) General amendments of tariffs have been announced and full particulars thereof will appear in the Government Gazette shortly. Since several hundred different tariffs, some in respect of services which were only established after 1st June, 1948, are involved in the amendments, I am furnishing in reply to section (c) of the hon. member’s question, information about amendments of only the most important tariffs. If the hon. member desires further information in respect of a particular tariff, I should be pleased to make it available. With the exception of a number of amendments of tariffs for foreign mail which will only take effect on 1st July, 1971, all the tariff amendments come into operation on 1st April, 1971.

It must be added that the area in which the relative dwellings are situated, was initially included in a large urban renewal project on the recommendation of the City Council’s planners, the Department’s planners and the consultant planners. After planning had already progressed considerably, it appeared that upon advice and after consultation with the planners that the houses in question may be left out of the project and the owners were then given the first option to repurchase the properties, but only one made use of this concession. The urban renewal project executed by the Department and City Council involved the installation of services worth many thousands of rands, improved planning and other appreciations in value. In addition repairs to houses were carried out.

The abovementioned information is only applicable on properties belonging to the Department of Community Development.
