Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924.
These regulations deal with notices to be given
to the Sanitary Authority of the intended slaughtering
of animals (cattle, swine, sheep and goats). They
also deal with cleanliness and sanitary conditions
to be observed in shops, stores and stalls and the
transport and handling of meat. The term "meat"
means the flesh of cattle, swine, sheep and goats
including bacon and ham and edible offal and
fat.
All meat shops, stores, stalls and the Fulham
Market were kept under supervision during the
year by the Inspectors and no contraventions of
the regulations were noted.
