OUTWORKERS
Section 133 of the Factories Act, 1961, requires that where, in specified industries,
work is given by an employer or contractor to be done by workers outside his factory, lists
containing the names and addresses of such workers must be forwarded to the local authority.
Section 134 has the object of preventing such work being carried out in premises which are insanitary
or in which an infectious disease is present.
Pull particulars of the number and type of such premises in the Borough are set out in
the Appendix, table 14.
SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES
ANIMAL BOARDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1963
This Act regulates the keeping of boarding establishments for animals, and no person
may keep such an establishment unless licensed by the Borough Council. One establishment has
been licensed in the Borough for the keeping of cats only.
CLEANSING AND DISINFECTION
A. The former Holborn Borough Council maintained a disinfecting station on the Town
Hall premises and the cleansing station in adjacent premises in Stukeley Street, the latter being
used for persons from the adjoining City of Westminister and those from Holborn. Both the disinfecting
station and cleansing station were closed on 1 April 1965.
The former Hampstead Borough Council maintained a cleansing and disinfecting station
at Lithos Road, N.W.3, but from 1 April 1965, most of the work carried out there was transferred
to the Geffen Public Health Annexe at Camley Street, N.W.I, which was the cleansing and disinfecting
station for the former Borough of St. Pancras.
