Section 5 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1908, empowers sanitary authorities in London to remove from the
register of milksellers any cowkeeper, dairyman, or purveyor of milk,
who is carrying on his trade on premises unsuitable for the sale of milk,
and to refuse to enter any such person upon the register. In pursuance
of these powers the Council refused three applications for registration,
the places in respect of which the applications were made being general
shops in which the milk would have been sold with a variety of articles,
the presence of which would have rendered the milk liable to contamination
The occupier of one registered general shop voluntarily discontinued the
sale of milk after being convicted under the Sale of Food and Drugs
Acts.
The number of general shops selling milk has been reduced from
26 in 1909 to 17 in 1911.
Ice Cream.
The sale of ice cream in London is controlled by Sections 42 and
43 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1982.
There are 82 shops in the Borough in which ice cream is sold, and
314 inspections of these premises were made during the year.
In addition to these, the barrows which stand in the streets, and on
Hampstead Heath on Bank Holidays, have been inspected.
