Full particulars and remarks regarding these premises are

Ice Cream V endors.—The London County Council, after
considering the views of the various Borough Councils on the
question of compulsory registration of ice cream vendors,
decided that the powers already possessed by local sanitary
authorities in London, were sufficient to protect the public
from danger arising from the consumption of ice cream.
I am still of the opinion that powers should be obtained
to secure the compulsory registration of ice cream vendors,
and that the local sanitary authorities should be empowered
to refuse such registration should the person or premises be
unsuitable for the purpose.
During the year an inspection was made of all the ice
cream vendors in the Borough. The premises, in the majority
of cases, were found to be satisfactory, but in some cases it
was necessary for action to be taken regarding their
condition.
