The Children's Nightdresses Regulations, 1964
These Regulations made by the Secretary of State under the provisions conferred by

The above Act and Regulations deal with the licensing and registration of premises where
filling materials for use in upholstered articles are made or used, with a view to securing the use
of clean fillings. No materials were sampled during the year from the 9 registered premises in the

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 incorporated in the provisions
suggestions made by the Department, thereby making any objections to registration unnecessary.
This arrangement again worked satisfactorily during the year and in no case was any
objection recommended.
