him. The applicant ultimately decided not to proceed further with his
application for the registration of the premises in question, but
applied for registration only as a dairyman, having arranged to convey
milk direct from a railway station in the Borough to certain addresses

Ice Cream.
All premises used for the manufacture, storage or sale of ice
cream must be registered with the Local Authority; and the sanitary
conditions that must pertain have been prescribed. Every itinerant
vendor is required to exhibit the name and address of the manufacturer
of the ice cream on his barrow, but no standard of purity
or of content of ice cream has yet been fixed.
The London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1928,
provided that Ice-cream premises should be registered, but contained
no power for the Authority to refuse registration in the case of
unsuitable premises or to remove from the register premises subsequently
found to be unsuitable. Under the Act of 1932, however,
the Authority may, on giving notice of their intention to do so, either
refuse to register unsuitable premises or remove such premises from
the register, subject to a right of appeal by the person concerned to
a court of summary jurisdication. The new statute repeals the
registration clause of the Act of 1928, but it is enacted that any
premises already registered shall be deemed to be registered under
the new Act.
67 premises used for the manufacture, storage, or sale of ice
cream are on the Register.
