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. There were no prosecutions during
the year.
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.
There were on the Register at the end of the year 113 dairymen occupying
112 premises situated within the borough; in some cases several dairymen
occupy the same premises. In addition there were 27 dairymen selling milk
in Fulham from premises situated and registered in adjoining districts.
The following are details of changes which took place during 1934:—
No. of Dairymen on the Register:—
No. on Register at 31st December, 1933 112
No. who transferred their business or
discontinued selling milk during
the year 1934 16
96
No. of Registrations granted during the
year 17
No. on Register at 31st December, 1934 113
In addition to the above, registration was granted during the year to
29 persons entitling them to sell fresh milk only "in the properly closed and
unopened receptacles in which it is delivered to the premises". Such registration
relates to the person only and not to the premises. There were at the
end of 1934, 118 names of such persons on the Register.
