Licensing Act, 1964
Part II of this Act deals with the sale of intoxicating liquor in club premises which must
be registered with the Clerk to the Justices for the Sessions Area in which the clubs are situated.
The Local Authority or Police may object to the registration, or renewal of registration, of any
premises considered to be not suitable or convenient and the Department is able to comment on
the Public Health and Food Hygiene aspects of such club premises. In particular, where new
applications are being made for registration, it is usually possible to have suggestions made by
the Department incorporated in the provisions, thus making any objections to registration
unnecessary.
This arrangement again worked satisfactorily during the year and in no case was any
objection recommended.
Fertilisers & Feeding Stuffs Act, 1926
Fertilisers & Feeding Stuffs Regulations 1960 to 1964
Under the above, the seller of soil fertilisers or cattle or poultry feeding stuffs is required
to furnish a statutory statement of the name and content of the materials as listed in
Schedule I of the Regulations and a Local Authority, in enforcing the legislation, may take samples
for analysis. During the year, 8 such samples were taken and all were satisfactory. They were as
follows:-
Layers Mash 2
Fertiliser 4
Bone meal 1
Dried Blood 1
Clean Air Act, 1956
Smoke Control Areas
The steady progress which has been characteristic of the phased Smoke Control programme
was maintained throughout the year. On the 5th January, 1966, the Council made the last Smoke
Control Order, the Hammersmith No. (9) Smoke Control Order, which was confirmed on the 29th
May and will come into operation on the 1st June, 1967.
Smoke Control Orders have now been made to cover the whole of the London Borough of
Hammersmith. This represents a total of 3,988 acres and 72,559 premises, Hammersmith being the
first London Borough to complete its programme.
I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the various bodies which have cooperated
with the Council in implementing the Smoke Control programme, especially the folio wing:-
North Thames Gas Board
London Electricity Board
Solid Smokeless Fuels Federation
Coal Utilisation Council
National Coal Board
Ministry of Technology (Warren Springs Laboratory)
Clean Air Information Service (College of Fuel Technology)
Thanks are due too to the local builders, authorised dealers and smokeless fuel merchants
who have rendered every possible assistance.
