The Director and the Secretary acted within the lawful parameters of the HFS and the Civil Service Regulations: disposal of the HFS property without acquisition of a replacement within the prescribed six-month break-in period (absent exceptional prior approval) resulted in forfeiture and deemed exit from the scheme; the decision-makers lawfully exercised their discretion and the differential treatment vis-à-vis other housing benefits did not amount to unlawful discrimination; application dismissed.
