Ice Cream.
In my last report attention was drawn to the desirability of
safeguarding the public health by compulsory legislation requiring
the registration of manufacturers and vendors of ice cream and
the premises where this commodity is manufactured, stored or
sold, and in this regard it is satisfactory to report that the following
clause, which seeks to secure registration of such persons
appears in the London County Council (General Powers) Bill for
Registration of premises used for manufacture, etc., of Ice Cream.
Any premises used or proposed to be used for the sale, or manufacture of for the
purpose of sale, of ice cream or other similar commodity, or the storage thereof,
intended for sale, shall be registered with the Sanitary Authority, and no premises
shall be used for the P ur P os es mentioned unless the same are registered Persons
offending are liable to penalties.
This Cla use shall not apply to premises used as a hotel, restaurant or club or to
premises coming within the provisions of the Factories Acts.

The Sanitary Inspectors kept the 361 ice cream premises
under supervision during the year.
