MILK SUPPLE
50
Under the Milk and Dairies Regulations, 1949, a local authority is
required to keep a register of all persons carrying on the trade of milk
distributor, and of all premises used as dairies (other than dairy farms) in
their district, and to remove from the register the name of any person who
ceases to trade as a milk distributor, and of any premise which ceases to be
used as a dairy premise.
On the 31st December, 1952, entries in the register were as follows:-
(a) Number of registered distributors with premises
in the Borough 35
(b) Number of registered distributors other than
those included in (a) above 15
(c) Number of premises in Chelsea registered as
dairies 1
(d) Number of premises in Chelsea, other than
dairies, from which milk is distributed 43
During the year, 91 applications were received, and principal licences
were granted under the Milk (Special Designation) (Raw Milk) Regulations,
1949, and the Milk (Special Designation) (Pasteurised and Sterilised Milk)
Regulations, 1949, authorising the use of special designations in relation
to milk sold at or from premises within the Borough. 37 supplementary
licences were granted in respect of milk sold by retail within the Borough
from 15 premises not situate in the area of this authority.

On the 1st October, 1951, the Milk (Special Designations) (Specified
Areas) Order, 1951, came into force for the whole of the County of London.
After this date it was illegal for any person to sell by retail for human
consumption any milk other than milk which may be sold as specially designated
milk in accordance with the provisions of the Milk (Special Designation) (Raw
Milk) Regulations, 1949, and the Milk: (Special Designation) (Pasteurised and
Sterilised Milk) Regulations, 1949, and it was necessary for all retailers
selling milk in the area specified (whether or not their premises were
situated in such area) to be licensed by the appropriate authority to use a
special designation in relation to milk.
All retailers selling milk within the Borough have now been licensed to
use special designations,.
No pasterurisation or sterilisation of milk took place in the Borough
during the year, such processes having been carried out in other areas.
