Milk and Dairies Acts 1915 and 1922.
Milk and Dairies Order, 1926.
The provisions of the above-named Acts and Order continued
to be enforced by the Council during the year. Four cases in
which milk was being sold by unregistered purveyors—in one of
the cases from unregistered premises—were reported to the Committee,
and in one case proceedings were instituted in respect of
the offence committed (vide page 83). In the three other cases
the vendors were cautioned.
Milk (Special Designations) Order.
Under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1936, the following
designations are used:—
"Tuberculin Tested."—This is milk from cows which have
passed a veterinary examination and a tuberculin test, and it
may be bottled on the farm or elsewhere. If pasteurised, the
milk must be described as "Tuberculin Tested Milk (Pasteurised)."
If it is bottled on the farm, the word "(Certified)" may be added
to its description.
"Accredited."—This is raw milk from cows which have passed
a veterinary examination; it may be bottled on the farm or elsewhere.
It must satisfy the same bacteriological tests as are
prescribed for raw Tuberculin Tested milk.
"Pasteurised."—This designation is applicable both where
"Accredited" milk and where ungraded milk is pasteurised in
accordance with the requirements of the Order. The conditions
are substantially the same as in the Order of 1923, except that
further conditions are imposed with regard to thermometers and
temperature records.
The Metropolitan Borough Councils are the sole licensing
authorities within their respective areas.

One licence to bottle Tuberculin Tested milk, and two to
pasteurise milk, were granted and are included in the above figures.
In so far as graded milk is concerned 29 of the premises in respect
of which full licences were valid during the year were used for
the purveyance of both "Tuberculin Tested" and "Pasteurised"
milk.
Of the remainder 19 were used for "Tuberculin Tested"
milk only (one for bottling) and 24 for "Pasteurised" milk.
