Meat and other Foods.
The London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1932,
requires the registration with the Sanitary Authority of premises
used for the following purposes:—
1. The sale, manufacture or storage of ice cream.
2. The preparation or manufacture of sausages or potted, pressed, pickled,
or preserved meat, fish or other food intended for sale.
In the case of meat or fish the word "preserved " includes preparation
by any process of cooking. At December 31st, 1934, the
number of premises on the register used or proposed to be used for
the purposes stated in Section 5 of the above-named Act, was as
follows: —

It should be noted that premises used for the purpose of fish
frying are not included in this table.
During the year 30 fresh applications were received for the
registration of premises in accordance with the provisions of this
Act. In each of these cases the premises were carefully inspected
by the Food Inspector and where repair or cleansing work was found
to be necessary such work was required to be carried out before the
premises were registered by this Authority.
In addition to these first inspections, the number of inspections
of registered food premises in the Borough totalled 3,546 during 1934.
