Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.
Under this Order the Council are authorised to issue licences
to others than producers (i.e., persons producing milk for sale from
herds over which they have control). The licences so granted are
available for a period up to the end of the year in which they were
issued. There is a scale of fees payable to the Licensing Authority
by applicants for licences.
During 1927 licences were issued as follows:—
Certified milk (including 1 supplemental
licence) 20
Grade A (Tuberculin tested) milk (3
supplemental) 59
Grade A milk (supplemental) 1
Grade A, Pasteurised (1 supplemental) 9
Pasteurised milk (2 supplemental) 13
Two licences to bottle Grade A (TT) milk and one Pasteuriser's
licence were granted and are included in the above figures.
In December, 1926, the attention of the Council was drawn
to the use by a firm trading in Battersea of the title "Grade A
Dairy." Steps were taken to deal with the matter, and the firm
in question agreed to discontinue the use of this title or any other
designation which might be regarded as an infringement of the
Order.
Public Health (Condensed Milk) Amendment Regulations.
and
Public Health (Dried Milk) Amendment Regulations.
In November, the Ministry of Health issued Regulations
amending the Regulations of 1923 dealing with condensed and
dried milk.
The amending Regulations relate mainly to the wording of
the labels and the size of the printing type to be used thereon.
Milk Shops.
The number of premises registered in Battersea for the sale of
milk is 131. One new premises was registered during the year
for the sale of milk, and in one case the sale of milk from registered
premises was discontinued. In 6 cases registration was transferred
on account of change of proprietorship. All milk shops are
kept under inspection and during the year 492 inspections were
carried out and 18 notices were served to remedy defects found on
inspection. These mainly referred to dirty and unsuitable premises
and other minor defects.
