Cutting Room, No. 6 Cold Store, Royal Albert Dock. (134/4521)
INSPECTION OF IMPORTED MEATS
The following tables give details of the meats which have been dealt with by the Authority
during the year. The examination room at No. 6 Cold Store in the Royal Docks is too small to
deal adequately with the large quantities of meat due for examination and sampling, but as mentioned
in last years report, the Port of London Authority are giving favourable consideration to
the construction of an enlarged inspection room.
