In this Act
The Government shall, at the time and manner hereinafter provided, pay to the University the sum of £25,000, together with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annum computed from 12 September 1930.
The University shall, within a period of 2 years from the commencement of this Act, or within such extended time as the Governor may allow, erect at Crawley a building sufficient to accommodate the Physics, Chemistry, and Agricultural Science Departments of the University.
On the lodgment by the Senate with the Minister for Works of a certificate signed by the architect in charge of such building, and by the Chancellor of the University, that the building has been erected, the University shall be deemed to have complied with this section.
When the Senate has lodged the certificate aforesaid with the Minister for Works, the Government shall pay to the University an aggregate sum, made up as follows —
(a) the said sum of £25,000 and interest as mentioned in section 3: such interest up to the date of such lodgment to be capitalised;
(b) the amounts up to £60,000 expended by the University in the erection of the building referred to in section 4, together with interest at 5% per annum on the amounts expended on progress payments or otherwise by the University during the course and for the purposes of such erection: all such interest to be computed from the respective dates of payment by the University and to be capitalised up to the date of such lodgment.
The aggregate sum of principal and capitalised interest ascertained as mentioned in section 5 shall, together with interest thereon (or on so much thereof as shall for the time being remain unrepaid), at 5% per annum, computed from the date of the lodgment with the Minister for Works of the certificate mentioned in section 4, be paid by the Government to the University, as follows —
(a) for a period of 30 years, the Government shall pay to the University an annual sum of such an amount as will at the end of 30 years completely discharge the said aggregate sum and all interest thereon in the meantime at the rate aforesaid;
(b) such annual sum shall be paid in equal half‑yearly instalments, and the first instalment shall be paid 6 months after the date of such lodgment;
(c) such annual sum is hereby charged on the Consolidated Account, and that Account to the extent required for the payment thereof is hereby permanently appropriated accordingly.
In order to provide the moneys necessary for the completion by the University of the said buildings at Crawley, known as the Hackett Buildings, and for the erection of the further building mentioned and provided for in section 4, the Senate is hereby authorised to raise a sum of money equal to the aggregate sums of principal and capitalised interest mentioned in section 5 either by means of a loan on the security of the funds and investments now controlled by the University and known as the Hackett Bequest, and any other investments (other than land and buildings) for the time being controlled by the University, or by means of a sale of so much of the said Hackett Bequest as may be necessary to raise such sum, or partly by means of a loan as aforesaid and partly by means of a sale as aforesaid as the Senate may deem expedient, and to use such sum for the purposes aforesaid: Provided that, as and when the payments provided for in section 6 are made by the Government to the University, the Senate shall, as soon as practicable, use and apply such payments firstly to restore the moneys realised by such sales and realisation, and thereby make the same again subject to the present trusts applying to the Hackett Bequest and, secondly, to pay the amount of the principal sum and interest owing in respect of any loan raised as aforesaid.
