The number of factories included in the foregoing table is 275,
as compared with 278 in the corresponding table in the last annual
report, 8 new factories having been opened in 1936, and 11 removed.
The duties of sanitary authorities in relation to the sanita
tion of factories are few, and are limited mainly to the enforce
ment of suitable and sufficient sanitary accommodation for
factory employees.
During the year 19 preliminary and 3 statutory notices
were served under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891 and 1936,
for defects found on factory premises, for the most part relating
to defective or insufficient sanitary accommodation, and all were
duly complied with.
