Regulation of Sale and Use of Rag Flock.
There are no premises in the Borough on which rag flock, as defined by the
Public Health (London) Act, 1936, is known to be manufactured, used or sold.
The Shops Act, 1934.
During the year 26 inspections were made under this Act; in 3 cases it was
found that the requirements respecting ventilation, heating, or the provision of
sanitary conveniences were not complied with. In all cases the attention of owners
and occupiers was called to the matter and the necessary steps taken to effect
compliance with the requirements of the Act. Two applications from owners or
occupiers for certificates of exemption under Section 10 of the Act (provision of
sanitary conveniences) were received during the year.
