PET ANIMALS ACT. 1951.
During the year three licences were applied for and granted and
in each case a fee of 10/- was paid.
Each shop was regularly visited throughout the year to ensure
that all animals were being cared for and maintained in accordance
with the conditions attaching to the licence.
RAG FLOCK AND OTHER FILLING MATERIALS ACT. 1951.
Eleven premises in the Borough, used for upholstering and similar
processes, have been registered since the Act came into force on 1st
November, 1951. There are no premises in the Borough where rag flock
is manufactured.
PHARMACY AND POISONS ACT. 1933.
The number of listed sellers of Part II Poisons, on the Council's
register was 45.
All applications are investigated to ensure that records are
properly maintained, labelling efficiently performed, storage
accommodation adequate, and that sales are only made by employees
nominated on the application forms. In every instance it was
found that the requirements of the Act and the Poisons Rules were
being complied with, whilst it was apparent that all concerned
were fully aware of their particular responsibilites.
As a general rule the poisons retailed were insecticides,
rodent exterminants, hair dyes, and household ammonia.
Applications for inclusion and/or retention in the Council's
register are considered by the Public Health and Baths Committee
each Spring, and when approval has been given, appropriate entries
are made for a period of twelve months (1st May to 30th April).
