It will be seen that the Regulations are quite extensive, and there
are many new provisions other than those covered by Section 13 of the
1938 Act, which previously governed food premises.
All food premises in the Borough were circularised with a resume
of the Regulations and a notice governing food handling. A letter was
also included informing the occupier or person having control that an
Inspector would be visiting to advise them as to their liability in regard
to the Regulations, and to give them any advice they required.
A complete register of all food premises in the Borough has been
compiled, showing the result of the initial inspection and notices served
where necessary to make premises comply with the Regulations.
One exemption certificate was granted in connection with the
Regulations during the year.
