The Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act,
1915, the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926 and
the Public Health (London) Act, 1891 and the
Inspection and Supervision of Dairies and
Milkshops.
The question of the type of building used for
storing and bottling milk has been given special
attention and in 14 cases wooden or similar structures
have been replaced by brick buildings with
smooth impervious internal walls and various
improvements have been carried out in eleven
other dairies.
Other premises are being re-conditioned and
the dairies generally may be regarded as satisfactory.
The Food and Drugs Inspector made 515 visits
to dairies and milkshops during 1933 and served
6 notices, mostly relating to cleansing and
repair of premises.
Article 31 (2) of the Milk and Dairies Order,
1926, requires milk bottles to be filled and closed
in registered premises only. Careful watch is
therefore kept for any infringement of this article
and during the year two milk roundsmen were
warned by letter for filling bottles in the street.
There were no prosecutions.
All the milk sold in Fulham is pasteurised
except the Certified and Grade A milks, and it
was not necessary to take action under section 4
of the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915,
relating to milk causing, or likely to cause, tuberculosis.
Similarly there was no evidence that milk sold
in the borough was infected by persons suffering
from infectious diseases so that no action was
taken under section 18 of the Milk and Dairies
Order, 1926.
