Since 1944 it has been customary for me to supply for the purposes of
your Annual Report an additional Table showing particulars of samples
examined under the Labelling of Food Orders and the various Food
Standards Orders made under the Defence (Sale of Food) Regulations,
1943. In January, 1956, however, these Orders were brought under the
Food and Drugs Act, 1955, and contraventions of the Orders are now
treated as offences against the Food and Drugs Act, 1955. Examinations
of all foods to which such Orders apply for compliance with their specific
requirements are now therefore included in the "Food and Drugs Act"
analyses, and since particulars of the results have been included in the
Quarterly Reports under that Act the submission of any additional Table
would be redundant."
