No licences for graded milk or registration of retailers were
refused or revoked during the year.
In eight cases supplementary licences were granted authorising
the sale of graded milk within the Borough from premises outside
Hampstead.
Under the Order of 1923 four designations are prescribed, i.e.,
Certified and Grade A (Tuberculin Tested), both of which kinds of
milk must be sold raw and not pasteurised; and Grade A and Ordinary
milk, which are permitted to contain a higher rate of bacteria per
cubic centimetre than Certified and Grade A (Tuberculin Tested), but
which must be pasteurised.
Street Traders.
All applications by Stallholders for licences to sell foodstuffs are
referred to the Public Health Department prior to the issue of a
licence, and in those cases where the food is stored in the Borough
the premises are inspected. In those instances in which the place of
storage is situated in another district, an inquiry is addressed to the
Medical Officer of Health of that area concerning the sanitary condition
of the premises.
Bye-laws were made by the Borough Council on 26th January,
1928, with regard to street trading; and these relate inter alia to the
protection of the food from contamination, the storing of refuse
arising from the business in suitable covered receptacles, etc.
