LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL (GENERAL POWERS) ACT, 1909.
This measure, if passed in the form in which it was introduced, would have
empowered the County Council, inter alia, to take samples of milk at any
railway station within the county for the purpose of ascertaining if it
contained any matter rendering it unwholesome or unfit for the food of man.
In order to effect this the clauses relating to unwholesome milk—which
were struck out of the Council's General Powers Bill of 1908 by the Select
Committee on an instruction carried upon the second reading, on the understanding
that the Government would promote legislation dealing with the
subject for the whole country—were again brought forward.*
I reported fully to the Sanitary Committee on the 26th January, 1909,
with regard to the re-introduction of these clauses, and recommended that
they should be opposed upon the same grounds as obtained with regard to
similar clauses in the Council's General Powers Bill, 1908.
On the 11th March, 1909, on the motion in the House of Commons that the
Bill be read a second time, there was some opposition to Part III., on the
ground that it contained drastic provisions dealing with milk supply. Upon the
promoters of the Bill stating that the Council did not ask for these powers
with regard to milk if the Government were going to bring in a general Bill
* Similar powers with regard to milk were sought by the County Council in their General Powers Bill
introduced this session, 1910, which, on the second reading in the Commons on the 8th April last, were again
ordered to be deleted.
