On 12th July, 1926, the Minister of Health issued the Milk and
Dairies Order, 1926, made under section 1 of the Milk and Dairies
(Consolidation) Act, 1915.
The Order revokes the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Orders of
1885, 1886 and 1899, so far as they relate to England and Wales, and
all Regulations made thereunder by Local Authorities. The main
provisions of those Orders and Regulations are replaced in the present
Order by provisions similar in general purpose, but modified in accordance
with the development of modern hygienic knowledge so far as to
lay greater stress on cleanliness in all operations connected with the
production and handling of milk (including the care of the cow) than

The most important of the new provisions of the Order are those
relating to the health and inspection of cattle; to the handling, conveyance
and distribution of milk; and to the sanitary condition of milk
premises and health of persons employed therein.
