Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922.
This Act imposes upon Local Authorities the obligation of compiling
two registers of milk dealers, one wholesale and one retail, and
empowered them, under certain conditions, to refuse to register a retail
purveyor of milk, or to remove a person already registered from the
register.
The number of premises in respect of which persons are registered
as purveyors of milk is 89, comprising 43 dairies, 13 bakers and confectioners,
18 restaurants and coffee shops, and 15 general shops.
During the year 223 inspections were made and 4 notices were
served.
In view of the fact that the London County Council take samples
of the milk coming into the County, it has not been thought desirable to
take any samples of milk for bacteriological examination as to the
presence of the tubercle bacillus.
