During the year, the attention of the Council was directed to
the basically unsuitable practice of the sale of foodstuffs from
footway stalls outside shop premises in the Borough and was
recommended, after reasonable warning had been given to the shopkeepers
concerned, not to renew street trading footway licences for
the sale of foodstuffs.
The Council has decided that current footway licences for the
sale of meat and such other unwrapped foodstuffs as are not usually
cleansed by the purchaser prior to consumption will not be renewed
on expiration in December, 1955.
(i) Milk in Schools
The arrangements for sampling milk at London County Council
Schools continued without variation. A total of 17 samples were
submitted for examination, all of which satisfied the prescribed
tests with the exception of two samples which failed to pass the
Phosphatase test for heat treated milk.
(j) Milk at Nurseries
Three samples of milk submitted for examination passed the
necessary tests.
